To sustain a company’s competitive advantage, providing innovative products or services is inevitable. Previous researches mainly focused on technology-related service innovation (TRSI), letting human-related (HRSI) remain largely unstudied. However, the authors believe that human vital factor affecting customers’ experiences and thus cannot be overlooked. This study applied PLS-SEM method to e...

High-resolution satellite imagery (HRSI) is being increasingly employed for large-scale topographic mapping, and especially for geodatabase updating. As the spatial resolution of HRSI sensors increases, so the potential georeferencing accuracy also improves. However, accuracy is not a function of spatial resolution alone, as it is also dependent upon radiometric image quality, the dynamics of t...

High-resolution satellite images (HRSI) at sub-5m footprint such as IKONOS, IRS-P5 (CartoSat-1) and SPOT-5 HRG/HRS images are becoming increasingly available to the earth observation community and their respective clients. HRSI is one of the main data sources for the Project of Western China Topographic Mapping (WChTM) which has been approved by the State Council of China in year 2006. New adva...

At present, HRSI (High-resolution Satellite Imagery) is more and more widely applied for surveying, land, constructing, production and living field, and it becomes increasingly important to acquire orthophotograph by processing geometric rectification of satellite original images. Less or without GCPs (Ground Control Points) in several parts of area is a puzzled problem for remote sensing image...

The road network detection is an emerging area in information extraction from high-resolution satellite images (HRSI). The proposed work in this paper consists of three steps: Pre-filtering, connected component-based operations, and removal of unwanted non-road pixels using morphological operations. The proposed algorithm is experimented on various satellite images and the performance of the sy...

Chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), constitutes a major threat to many amphibian species worldwide. Predicting the and regions of highest geographical risk is critical for early detection mitigation chytrid emergence. In this study, using niche modelling approach, most conducive habitat Bd within Sri Lanka (a high-risk zone) was modelled. The distribution 69 then mo...

Prime farmland (PF) is defined as high-quality farmland and a prime farmland protection area (PFPA, including related roads, waters and facilities) is a region designated for the special protection of PF. However, rapid urbanization in China has led to a tremendous farmland loss and to the degradation of farmland quality. Based on remote sensing and geographic information system technology, thi...

Recently, it has become much easier to obtain commercial high-resolution satellite imagery (HRSI), and application of IKONOS satellite imagery to 3D positioning has recently been investigated, with sub-meter accuracy being achieved. Image matching is one of the most fundamental processes in geopositioning from multi-image HRSI. Least squares matching and cross correlation matching are the most ...

Roads are of important elements of urban infrastructure which directly and crucially affect the life of people in cities. The criticality of the roads network in urban areas justifies the efforts made to use remotely sensed data especially High Resolution Satellite Imagery (HRSI) to generate fast and accurate knowledge about road networks and to update road maps. Besides, on the way towards inv...
