Global insurance markets are vast and diverse, and may offer many opportunities for remote sensing. To date, however, few operational applications of remote sensing for insurance exist. Papers claiming potential application of remote sensing typically stress the technical possibilities, without considering its contribution to customer value for the insured OPEN ACCESS Remote Sens. 2014, 6 10889...

With the development of satellite technology, the application of remote sensing images becomes more and more significant. The coverage of a single remote sensing image is limited, so remote sensing images should be stitched into a larger image by overlapping region. SURF is a commonly algorithm for image mosaic, but the calculation of this algorithm is too heavy. Thus, we propose the method of ...

This paper introduces the processing technology of high resolution remote sensing image, the specific making process of tourism map and different remote sensing data in the key application of tourism planning and so on. Remote sensing extracts agricultural tourism planning information, improving the scientificalness and operability of agricultural tourism planning. Therefore remote sensing imag...

Based on remote sensing images, the panoramic views of land coverage distribution across a large geographic area can be accessed conveniently. Remote sensing monitoring system of land coverage change in mining area, which is a complex information system based on spatial database to manage multi-source heterogeneous data, was proposed in this article. The system structure, function and developme...

Remote sensing refers to the activities of recording, observing, and perceiving (sensing) objects or events in far-away (remote) places. In remote sensing, the sensors are not in direct contact with the objects or events being observed. Electromagnetic radiation normally is used as the information carrier in remote sensing. The output of a remote sensing system is usually an image representing ...

Recently, deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) achieved increasingly remarkable success and rapidly developed in the field of natural image recognition. Compared with the natural image, the scale of remote sensing image is larger and the scene and the object it represents are more macroscopic. This study inquires whether remote sensing scene and natural scene recognitions differ and raises ...

In the second half of the last century, remote sensing methods became increasingly influent in the civil sector of the economy. Their various applications such as monitoring and analysis of the atmosphere, terrestrial and aquatic features of the environment, made them widely applicable in numerous scientific and economic fields. The purpose of present work is to describe the past, current statu...

With the development of modern remote sensing technology, a variety of earth observation satellites could continue to tremendously provide image data of different spatial resolution, time resolution, spectral resolution remote sensing, and the remote sensing data obtained is increasing with great capacity, which forms multi-source image pyramid in the same area. To play the advantages of a vari...

Selecting and conserving lands for biodiversity: The role of remote sensing" (2009). a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o A major focus of conservation is on protecting areas to ensure the persistence of biological diversity. Because such areas may be large, not easily accessible, subject to change, and sensitive to the surrounding landscape, remote sensing can be a valuable tool in establishi...
