MICROWAVE RADIOMETRY IMAGING FOR FOREST FIRE DETECTION: A SIMULATION STUDY

Microwave Radiometry Imaging for Forest Fire Detection: a Simulation Study

This paper deals with passive microwave imaging for fire detection by means of a single-channel ground-based radiometer. The simulation of images sensed in the presence of fire spots under different environmental and operative conditions will be presented. We will refer to a low-cost ground-based radiometer operating at 12.65GHz. Scenarios where fires are un-visible and IR sensors are not usefu...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Normality Analysis for RFI Detection in Microwave Radiometry

Radio-frequency interference (RFI) present in microwave radiometry measurements leads to erroneous radiometric results. Sources of RFI include spurious signals and harmonics from lower frequency bands, spread-spectrum signals overlapping the “protected” band of operation, or out-of-band emissions not properly rejected by the pre-detection filters due to its finite rejection. The presence of RFI...

Using microwave radiometry for detection of breast cancer

It should be noted that thermal changes precede to the anatomical changes that can be detected by traditional methods such as ultrasonography, mammography and palpation. Thus microwave radiometry is a very promising method for the breast cancer detection at an earlier stage. Also it should be noted that as microwave radiometry measures natural electromagnetic radiation from the patient’s tissue...
