Uncertainty information in climate data records from Earth observation

Optical Data Downlinks from Earth Observation Platforms

The increasing resolution of earth observation sensors will require much higher data rates for the data downlink in future than is feasible with conventional RF-technology. This applies for earth observation satellites as well as for aeronautic observation platforms, such as aircraft or stratospheric high altitude platforms. The most promising solution for this data downlink bottleneck is the a...

Data Cleaning: Approaches for Earth Observation Image Information Mining

Actually the growing volume of data provided by different sources some times may present inconsistencies, the data could be incomplete with lack of values or containing aggregate data, noisy containing errors or outliers, etc. Then data cleaning consist in filling missing values, smooth noisy data, identify or remove outliers and resolve inconsistencies. In more general definition, data cleanin...

Earth Observation Data Processing in Distributed Systems

Earth observation systems have a continuous growth in the user and internal requirements that can be handled nowadays only using distributed systems. These requirements are shortly reviewed in this paper. Huge data-sets management and processing are of special interest, as well as the particularities of the Earth observation data. On the technological side, the focus is put on service-oriented ...
