Flood disaster is one of the natural disasters those have the highest occurrence frequency. Remote sensing plays an active and important role in the flood disaster management such as monitoring, evaluation, emergency response and so on. Affected by the characteristics of flood disaster, emergency response for flood disaster must be guaranteed by a high quality and speedy remote sensing data res...

Passive microwave remote sensing from space at L-band has the advantages of penetrating the atmosphere and responding to soil moisture and sea surface salinity, parameters of the surface needed for improved understanding of weather and climate. Experiments with the synthetic aperture radiometer, ESTAR, have demonstrated the potential for remote sensing soil moisture and ocean salinity at L-band...

Aims Mapping vegetation through remotely sensed images involves various considerations, processes and techniques. Increasing availability of remotely sensed images due to the rapid advancement of remote sensing technology expands the horizon of our choices of imagery sources. Various sources of imagery are known for their differences in spectral, spatial, radioactive and temporal characteristic...

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...

The technology of airborne remote sensing encompasses a broad class of airborne platforms and a wide suite of remote sensing instruments. Usable platforms range from airships (Hamley, 1994; Windischbauer and Hans, 1994), UAVs (Unmanned Airborne Vehicles, Miller et al., 1999; Petrie, 2001), and helicopters (Gade et al., 1998; Matthews et al., 1997; Schaepman et al., 1997), to standard and high-a...

With the rapid development of satellite remote sensing technology, the volume of image datasets in many application areas is growing exponentially and the demand for Land-Cover and Land-Use change remote sensing data is growing rapidly. It is thus becoming hard to efficiently and intelligently retrieve the change information that users need from massive image databases. In this paper, content-b...

abstract decadal changes in land use/land cover for balachaur watershed in nawanshahar district, punjab, india were studied using black and white aerial photographs for march 1984 on approximately 1:20,000 scale and multidate geocoded false colour composites (fcc) of irs-1d liss-iii on 1:50,000 scale for march 2002, september 2002, and may 2003 and interpreted visually to prepare land use/land ...

the aim of this study is to determine the area affected by dust storms in different wind speeds using satelliteimages. in the first step, windy conditions of the sistan plain were analyzed using wind statistics data. next, fivestormy days of zabol city, indicating different wind speeds and horizontal visibilities during those storms, wereselected. then, high temporal resolution modis data was u...
