The launch of Ikonos satellite at the end of September 1999 marked the beginning of a new era for the application of satellite images. Being able to provide up to one-metre resolution panchromatic and four-metre resolution multispectral images, thus available in the past for military purposes or from aerial surveys only, this satellite offers considerable improvements and broadens the applicati...

Digital watermarking has been proposed to increase the digital data security, confidentiality and integrity. Satellite image watermarking is a special category of image watermarking in the sense that the images have special requirements. Particularly, watermarked satellite images should not differ perceptually from the original counterparts, because the purpose of taking the image must not be v...

In this paper, it is intended to detect and extract the changes of the environmental changes from satellite image. Environmental changes has been occurred both by passage of time and by natural disaster, like cyclone Nargis that has recently affected to Myanmar, Tsunami, etc. In present paper, image-processing techniques are applied to both high-resolution satellite images and blur satellite im...

land use change may influence many natural phenomena and ecological processes, including runoff, soil erosion, sedimentation and soil conditions. decreasing of forest area in the north of iran is one of the critical problems in recent years. the aims of this study are to detect land use changes between 1967 to 2002 using satellite images of land sat 7 etm+ (2002), aerial photos and digital topo...

The increase in spatial resolution has enabled analysis and detection of images obtained through satellite. To increase the accuracy in image processing, an unwanted shadow needs to be processed effectively. A quality check mechanism governs the false reconstruction problems. In the proposed paper we would like to suggest use of Lib SVM algorithm. The original image obtained from satellite is f...
