remote sensing can be used as a powerful tool by using data from different sources and combine them for vegetation and land cover classification. pasture type classification provides key information for analysis of agricultural productivity, carbon accounting and biodiversity. the first data set that used in this study landsat tm (thematic mapper) optical image and the second envisat asar radar...

We present joint optical-radar observations of meteors collected near the peak of the Leonid activity in 2002. We show four examples of joint detections with a large, phased array L-band radar and with intensified video cameras. The general characteristic of the radar-detected optical meteors is that they show the radar detection below the termination of the optical meteor. Therefore, at least ...

We present joint optical-radar observations of meteors collected near the peak of the leonid activity in 2002. We show four examples of joint detections with a large, phased array L-band radar and with intensified video cameras. The general characteristic of the radar-detected optical meteors is that they show the radar detection below the 5 termination of the optical meteor. Therefore, at leas...

polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (pol.-sar) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. this article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by sar data and proposes a new look-up table of region (ltr). this look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy h/anisotropy a) and (anisotropy a/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...

We describe an application that combines velocity data from a Windprofiler radar and a NEXRADII Doppler radar to compute 3D optical flow of moving severe weather. Windprofiler data improves the recovery of the velocity component in the upwards direction in the optical flow, where Windprofiler data is believed to be more accurate. We demonstrate this quantitatively using synthetic radar data and...

During the past five years, delay-Doppler radar has become the primary technique for studying the structure of Earth-crossing asteroids. None of these objects has yet been visited by spacecraft, so ground-truth test cases are lacking. A laboratory system is described that provides optical-radar images at 0.1-mm resolution. These data are analogous to the highest-resolution asteroid radar images...

Due to the different imaging mechanism of optical image and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image, they have the large different characteristics between the images, so fusing optical image and SAR image with image fusion technology could complement advantages and be able to better interpret the scenes information. A fusion algorithm of Synthetic Aperture Radar and optical image with fast sparse ...

A remote sensing method is proposed to derive vertical profiles of the visible extinction coefficients in ice clouds from measurements of the radar reflectivity and Doppler velocity taken by a vertically pointing 35-GHz cloud radar. The extinction coefficient and its vertical integral, optical thickness t, are among the fundamental cloud optical parameters that, to a large extent, determine the...
