Remote Sensing and Skywave Digital Communication from Antarctica

This paper presents an overview of the research activities undertaken by La Salle and the Ebro Observatory in the field of remote sensing. On 2003 we started a research project with two main objectives: implement a long-haul oblique ionospheric sounder and transmit the data from remote sensors located at the Spanish Antarctic station Juan Carlos I to Spain. The paper focuses on a study of feasi...

Remote sensing applications of HF skywave radar: The Australian experience

Australia has conducted research into over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) for almost sixty years. Early programs focused exclusively on military capabilities, such as the detection of aircraft, missiles and ships, but in 1974 a team was formed to design a new OTHR for which a remote sensing mission was proposed. Oceanic wind mapping experiments in 1977-78 yielded promising results so remote sensing b...

Digital Low-cost Remote Sensing with Pfiff, the Integrated Digital Remote Sensing System

Beside high end digital imaging systems which will replace standard photogrammetric cameras in the future, a large number of “lowcost” airborne systems were developed in the last years. The system PFIFF, a digital airborne remote sensing system developed by the author, is described in detail with special respect to demonstrate the photogrammetric potential of PFIFF. The demand for current digit...

Remote Sensing and Control for Establishing and Maintaining Digital Irrigation

The remotely sensed data from an unknown location is transmitted in real time through internet and gathered in a PC. The data is collected for a considerable period of time and analyzed in PC as to assess the suitability and fertility of the land for establishing an electronic plantation in that area. The analysis also helps deciding the plantation of appropriate plants in the location identifi...
