Single Tree Vegetation Depth Estimation Tool for Satellite Services Link Design

Vegetation Height Estimation near Power Transmission Poles via Satellite Stereo Images Using 3d Depth Estimation Algorithms

Monitoring vegetation encroachment under overhead high voltage power line is a challenging problem for electricity distribution companies. Absence of proper monitoring could result in damage to the power lines and consequently cause blackout. This will affect electric power supply to industries, businesses, and daily life. Therefore, to avoid the blackouts, it is mandatory to monitor the vegeta...

Systems Design Of A Satellite Link Protocol

In this paper we show how it might be possible to adapt asynchronous transfer mode technology to satellite links. Asynchronous transfer mode is a high-speed protocol designed with optic ber as the intended transmission media. Several problems arise when satellite channels are used. We propose to move the error recovery and detection from one layer of the asynchronous transfer mode protocol to a...

Utilizing satellite images and artificial neural networks in estimation of vegetation fraction in arid regions

Comparison of field- and satellite-based vegetation cover estimation methods

Background: Monitoring terrestrial vegetation cover condition is important to evaluate its current condition and to identify potential vulnerabilities. Due to simplicity and low cost, point intercept method has been widely used in evaluating grassland surface and quantifying cover conditions. Field-based digital photography method is gaining popularity for the purpose of cover estimate, as it c...

Estimation of vegetation cover resilience from satellite time series

Resilience is a fundamental concept for understanding vegetation as a dynamic component of the climate system. It expresses the ability of ecosystems to tolerate disturbances and to recover their initial state. Recovery times are basic parameters of the vegetation’s response to forcing and, therefore, are essential for describing realistic 5 vegetation within dynamical models. Healthy vegetatio...
