Observations of Land C-band backscatter from snow cover are presented at all polarizations. Airborne passive-microwave data was collected in Northern Finland during EMAC’95 (European Multi-sensor Airborne Campaign-95). The measurements cover the 6.8–18.7 GHz frequency range with both vertical and horizontal polarizations. The empirical SAR data were acquired by EMISAR of Technical University of...

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is an active sensor that can effectively acquire a large number of three-dimensional (3-D) points. LiDAR systems can be equipped on different platforms for different applications, but to integrate the data, point cloud registration is needed to improve geometric consistency. The registration of airborne and terrestrial mobile LiDAR is a challenging task becau...

In the paper a ground moving target indication and parameter estimation algorithm applicable on singleas well as on multi-channel airborne synthetic aperture radar data is presented. The algorithm is based on a priori knowledge and operates directly on range-compressed data. Only the intersection points of the moving vehicle signals with the a priori known road axes, which are mapped into the r...

Abstract The lithospheric structure of the Fram Strait and extent from Knipovich Ridge to Barents Sea shelf Svalbard are poorly understood. Several multi‐geophysical investigations various campaigns since 90s along Western margin Northeast Greenland resulted in insufficient contradicting interpretations crustal upper mantle settings oceanic continental domains. New airborne magnetic data across...

The Xade Complex is an unexposed Y-shaped body, approximately 100 km long and 25km wide, located close to the western margin of the Kaapvaal craton in Botswana. The Complex is characterized by large coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies. It is completely covered by varying thicknesses of Kalahari sediments as well as by Karoo strata, which means that detailed analysis of high resolution air...

Geomagnetic study was carried out to investigate the distribution and depth of formations of different magnetic rocks on an old quarry site, Abeokuta, Southwestern, Nigeria. Eight ground magnetic profiles were established with 10 m spacing intervals orientated in West-East and North-South directions, and ranged between 110 and 190 m. A total of 223 data sets were acquired and corrected for all ...

We describe the design, implementation and performance of a novel airborne system, which integrates commercial waveform LiDAR, CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera and hyperspectral sensors into a common platform system. CAF’s (The Chinese Academy of Forestry) LiCHy (LiDAR, CCD and Hyperspectral) Airborne Observation System is a unique system that permits simultaneous measurements of vegetation v...

Hyperspectral bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) data of Konza prairie grassland acquired in the First International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) Field Experiment (FIFE) on the ground with two SE-590 instruments and remotely with the airborne advanced solid-state array spectroradiometer (ASAS) are analyzed and compared to BRDF data of dense ryegrass ob...
