This paper is devoted to proposing and testing a strategy for decomposing compound signals obtained in remote sensing applications through the automatic generation of cooperating ANNs that model it. Each ANN will specialize in one of the primitives that make up the whole. The evolutionary based algorithm that is proposed for this purpose implies that the combination of networks takes place at a...

Reducing the risk of oil spill disasters is essential for protecting the environmentand reducing economic losses. Oil spill surveillance constitutes an important component ofoil spill disaster management. Advances in remote sensing technologies can help to identifyparties potentially responsible for pollution and to identify minor spills before they causewidespread damage. Due to the large numb...

The current remote sensing experimental teaching lacks excellent teaching software. Considering this problem, a systematic design thought about remote sensing curriculum experimental teaching software was introduced in this paper. We analyzed the current situation and problems of remote sensing experimental teaching, and at some aspects such as strengthening theoretical study, implementing inqu...

According to literature and despite their commercial success, state-of-the-art two-stage non-iterative geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) systems and three-stage iterative geographic object-oriented image analysis (GEOOIA) systems, where GEOOIA  GEOBIA, remain affected by a lack of productivity, general consensus and research. To outperform the Quality Indexes of Operativeness (OQ...

Global positioning system (GPS) is also known as Navigation System with Time and Ranging Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR) GPS. Originally designed for military purposes, GPS is being increasingly used by civilians for various applications like marine navigation, surveying, car navigation. Signals made available for civilian use, known as the Standard Positioning Service (SPS) can be freely a...

The ‘rain use efficiency’ (RUE) may be defined as the ratio of above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) to annual precipitation, and it is claimed to be a conservative property of the vegetation cover in drylands, if the vegetation cover is not subject to non-precipitation related land degradation. Consequently, RUE may be regarded as means of normalizing ANPP for the impact of annual preci...
