Profiting from the development of space remote sensing technology, the amount of remote sensing image data obtained by satellite is increasing dramatically; however, how to deal with these data quickly and efficiently has turned out to be a great computational challenge. With the rapid development of general-purpose GPU computing technology, researchers improved remote sensing applications base...

remote sensing using small spacecraft arising from multi-objective economic activity problems is getting more and more developed. these satellites require very accurate pointing to specific locations of interest, with high reliability and small latency. the space borne imaging systems always attempted to achieve the highest ground resolution possible with the available technology at the given t...

abstract evapotranspiration (et) determination is a key factor for irrigation scheduling, water balance, irrigation system design and management and crop yields simulation. therefore many scientists have tried to estimate evapotranspiration in different spatial and temporal scales. remote sensing is a one of new technique in estimation of et in regional scales. so, in this study it’s tried to e...

This paper introduces the processing technology of high resolution remote sensing image, the specific making process of tourism map and different remote sensing data in the key application of tourism planning and so on. Remote sensing extracts agricultural tourism planning information, improving the scientificalness and operability of agricultural tourism planning. Therefore remote sensing imag...

This paper highlights the use of remote sensing technologies in disaster management. Impact of natural disasters on life, property and ability to predict them would be one of the main contributions of remote sensing technology. Involving remote sensing with GIS and web technology makes it an extremely powerful tool to identify indicators of potential disasters. Information sharing through Inter...

In this paper, we present the role of remote sensing technology in the context of the monitoring of surface water status within the European union (EU) water framework directive (WFD). Although the digital evaluation of remotely sensed data has been used to estimate surface water characteristics for over two decades, there are still few discussions available on the contribution of remote sensin...
