Bathymetry Time Series Using High Spatial Resolution Satellite Images

Detection of coral bleaching using high spatial resolution satellite images

Recent dramatic bleaching events on coral reefs have enhanced the need for global environmental monitoring. This paper investigates the value of present high spatial resolution satellites to detect coral bleaching using a change detection technique. We compared an IRS LISS-III image taken during the 1998 bleaching event in Belize to images taken before the bleaching event. The sensitivity of th...

Multi Resolution Fuzzy Segmentation of Satellite Images

Classification of Ultra-high Resolution Images using Soft Computing

The main objective of this paper is to use a computational intelligence algorithm for preparing a mapping map that categorizes different patterns of identification of infected areas and changes in radiation pollution. In this paper, the use of the fuzzy inference system has been proposed to determine the degree of radiation contamination in the regions. The study uses ultra-high resolution spec...

Damage detection in earthquake disasters using high-resolution satellite images

This paper highlights the usefulness and accuracy of high-resolution satellite images in damage detection after the occurrence of natural disasters. A strong earthquake struck the city of Bam in the southeast Iran on 26 December, 2003 and it brought massive destruction to the city and its surrounding rural areas. IKONOS and QuickBird (QB), high-resolution optical satellites, captured clear imag...

Detecting Invasive Plants Using Hyperspectral and High Resolution Satellite Images

The rapid spread of nonnative plant species have caused considerable negative impact to the biodiversity and ecosystems in Taiwan. To better unders tand the status and to suppor t researchers and decision makers to develop strategies and remedies for this problem, it is necessary to obtain accurate spatial information and the progression about the invasions of foreign species into native ecocom...
