During the last 50 years, the management of agroecosystems has been undergoing major changes to meet the growing demand for food, timber, fibre and fuel. As a result of this intensified use, the ecological status of many agroecosystems has been severely deteriorated. Modeling the behavior of agroecosystems is, therefore, of great help since it allows the definition of management strategies that...

Remote sensing images obtained by remote sensing are a key source of data for studying large-scale geographic areas. From 2013 onwards, a new generation of land remote sensing satellites from USA, China, Brazil, India and Europe will produce in one year as much data as 5 years of the Landsat-7 satellite. Thus, the research community needs new ways to analyze large data sets of remote sensing im...

A mixed methods bibliometric analysis was performed to ascertain the characteristic of scientific literature published in a 10-year period (2007–2016) regarding the application of remote sensing data in human health. A search was performed on the Scopus database, followed by manual revision using synthesis studies’ techniques, requiring the authors to sort through more than 8000 medical concept...

This paper deals with the encoding of high resolution images for remote sensing and geographic information systems applications. We are currently investigating the suitability of several still image coding techniques for this kind of applications. We present results for an adapted and modified version of the CCSDS-ILDC technique. In addition to evaluate its compression factor and quality of rec...

Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and provide numerous services to humans environment. Therefore, it is crucial monitor these valuable assets using advanced technologies. In this regard, Remote Sensing (RS) provides a great opportunity study different oceanographic parameters archived consistent multitemporal datasets in cost-efficient approach. So far, various types RS techniques ha...

Eruptions of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun are usually associated with a number signatures that can be identified in solar disc imagery. However, there cases which CME is well observed coronagraph data missing clear low-coronal counterpart. These events have received attention during recent years, mainly as result increased availability multi-point observations, and now known “stea...
