Review on Active and Passive Remote Sensing Techniques for Road Extraction

Active Passive Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture

1.0 INTRODUCTION Numerous studies have shown the influence of soil moisture on the feedbacks between landsurface and climate, which in turn affect the dynamics of the atmosphere boundary layer and have a direct relationship to weather and global climate (Shukla and Mintz, 1982). Chang, et al., 1991 have shown the influence of spatial variations of soil moisture and vegetation on the development...

Active-passive Optical Remote Sensing for Weather and Climate Research

Studying optical properties of atmospheric aerosol is important because aerosol affects people around the world significantly. Aerosol can directly affect climate change by scattering and absorption of solar and other radiations, and also indirectly affect the radiation by affecting cloud formation. Tropospheric aerosol is associated with air pollution and adverse health effects. These effects ...

Application Of High-Resolution Remote Sensing Images In Road Extraction

Review of passive imaging polarimetry for remote sensing applications.

Imaging polarimetry has emerged over the past three decades as a powerful tool to enhance the information available in a variety of remote sensing applications. We discuss the foundations of passive imaging polarimetry, the phenomenological reasons for designing a polarimetric sensor, and the primary architectures that have been exploited for developing imaging polarimeters. Considerations on i...

Polarimetric Passive Remote Sensing

We seek to understand and predict the evolution of the brightness temperature (four Stokes parameters) of wind­ driven foam-covered ocean surfaces. The correlation of polarimetric variation is studied as function of the medium state, modeled as a rough surface (ocean) overlayed by a random medium (foam). Many independent results are obtain by using a wide variety of electromagnetic techniques, ...
