The majority of general aviation (GA) accidents involving adverse weather result in fatalities. Considering the high weather-related fatality rate among GA flight operations, it is imperative to ensure that pilots all experience levels can incorporate available information into their planning. In past decade, product development has incorporated increasing automation, which led generation high-...

To exploit full metric quality of optical satellite imagery, precise georeferencing is necessary. A number of sensor orientation models designed to exploit the full metric potential of images have been developed over the past decades. In particular, generic models attract more interest as they take full account of the physical imaging process by adopting time dependant satellite orbit models an...

The reflections recorded on satellite images have been affected by various environmental factors. In these images, some of these factors are combined with other environmental factors that cannot be distinguished. Therefore, it seems wise to model these environmental phenomena in the form of hybrid indicators. In this regard, satellite imagery and machine learning methods can play a unique role ...

The resolution of satellite imagery is often traded-off to satisfy transmission time and bandwidth, memory, and display limitations. Although there are many ways to achieve the same reduction in resolution, algorithms vary in their ability to preserve the visual quality of the original imagery. These issues are investigated in the context of the Landsat browse system, which permits the user to ...

Contrast plays an important role in the visual interpretation of imagery. To mimic visual interpretation and using contrast in a Geographic Object Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) environment, it is useful to consider an analysis for single pixel objects. This should be done before applying homogeneity criteria in the aggregation of pixels for the construction of meaningful image objects. The habi...
