The premise of geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) is that image objects are composed of aggregates of pixels that correspond to earth surface features of interest. Most commonly, image-derived objects (segments) or objects associated with predefined land units (e.g., agricultural fields) are classified using parametric statistical characteristics (e.g., mean and standard deviation)...

abstract many researchers have recently considered the use of data obtained from remote sensing (r.s) to reveal changes. in the present study, we have attempted to reveal the morphodynamic changes in taleghan river basin through image satellite and by analyzing the principal component analysis (pca) and fuzzy logic. the final map indicates the intensity of changes through, 15-years interval obs...

The complete nucleotide sequence of an isolate of grapevine satellite virus (GV-Sat) was determined by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and compared with the single available complete sequence. The NGS data unexpectedly provided evidence for the existence of multimeric forms of GV-Sat, which were experimentally confirmed, allowing the redefinition of GV-Sat genomic ends.

there have been different indices identified for desertification. among these is technogenic desertification index which seems much more efficient. in this study, some of technogenic desertification indices were studied and evaluated. first land use maps of the region were taken from irs-pan satellite image and aerial photos analysis. after evaluating the area of different uses, lands that had ...

always mazandaran province had been exposed to development and changes because of location in coastline of the caspian sea and having unique conditions. gis and remote sensing can be used to monitor in order to manage this sensitive province. then, this study is trying to detect land cover changes in coastal areas of mazandaran province using lcm. land cover changes detection have done using la...

Due to the increasing costs of high resolution satellite image data with stereo capabilities, products like accurate DSMs are becoming attractive for more and more users and applications. The Japanese optical sensor ALOS/PRISM which was launched in January 2006 has stereo capabilities by providing a simultaneous acquired image triplet. We have published several results of our evaluation of the ...

Until now, interpretation of aerial photographs is a standard tool for monitoring land cover change where fine spatial resolutions are required and this task is expensive and time-consuming. Though, from a spaceborne perspective, the VHR satellite data are, since 1999, capable to meet the mapping and monitoring needs of municipal and regional planning agencies. Indeed, these data from the senso...

A general framework for testing the quality of the segmentation of a multi-spectral satellite image is proposed. The method is based on the production of synthetic images with the spectral characteristics of the image pixels extracted from a signature multi-spectral image. The knowledge of the exact location of objects in the synthetic image provides a reference segmentation, which allows for a...
