We present a technique for simulating variations in appearance of aerial images at different sun angles. The input to the algorithm is a single aerial image with information on the orientation of surfaces in the image. The location, date, and time at which the photograph was taken are also needed by the algorithm. The appearance of the aerial image at a new sun angle is synthesized by compensat...

In this study, We applied the true orthophoto obtained by combining the aerial photograph having high overlap ratio taken by area sensor type digital aerial camera “DMC” with the generation method effectively using the vector data to the fundamental data used by the administration to get rid of the narrow road of the width of 4 m or less at the urban area. We are planning to utilize this method...

Accurately recognizing aerial photographs is a useful technique in many domains like autonomous driving and environmental evaluation. In practice, both low-resolution high-resolution photos are captured asynchronistically for each region, as there hundreds of earth observation satellites orbitting the earth. Realizing such multi-resolution-based region recognition difficult task due to three ch...

In this paper, we apply a special application of the Rao quadratic diversity for multiscale analysis of land use changes in a mixed agricultural-forest landscape in Central Italy. The proposed approach is similar to a block-size analysis of compositional diversity for which a given landscape is overlaid with a series of square grids composed of increasingly larger boxes. The combination of land...
