Crop growth and productivity are determined by a large number of weather, soil and management variables, which vary significantly across space. Remote Sensing (RS) data, acquired repetitively over agricultural land help in identification and mapping of crops and also in assessing crop vigour. As RS data and techniques have improved, the initial efforts that directly related RS-derived vegetatio...

The High-Performance and Disruptive Computing in Remote Sensing (HDCRS) Working Group (WG) was recently established under the IEEE Geoscience Society (GRSS) Earth Science Informatics (ESI) Technical Committee to connect a community of interdisciplinary researchers remote sensing (RS) who specialize advanced computing technologies, parallel programming models, scalable algorithms. HDCRS focuses ...

Developing computationally efficient processing techniques for massive volumes of hyperspectral data is critical for space-based Earth science and planetary exploration (see for example, (Plaza & Chang, 2008), (Henderson & Lewis, 1998) and the references therein). With the availability of remotely sensed data from different sensors of various platforms with a wide range of spatiotemporal, radio...

Soil is one of the most important natural resources covering a large area of the land surface. Soil plays a vital role in biosphere processes, such as energy balance, hydrology, biochemistry, and biological productivity. It supports plants that supply foods, fibers, drugs, and some other human needs. Conversely, desert regions include about one third of earth lands and these regions have increa...

Fire emissions, smoke dispersion, and air quality are very important for fire fighting and planing of prescribed burning. BlueskyRAINS (BSR) is a comprehensive and state-of-the-art Decision Support System (DSS) for fire managers and air quality managers to plan fuels treatments and support state air quality smoke regulatory actions, especially related to prescribed fires. BSR has been created b...

The increase of the spatial resolution of remote-sensing sensors helps to capture the abundant details related to the semantics of surface objects. However, it is difficult for the popular object-oriented classification approaches to acquire higher level semantics from the high spatial resolution remote-sensing (HSR-RS) images, which is often referred to as the “semantic gap.” Instead of design...

Aircraft and satellite Remote Sensing [RS] platforms provide spatial and temporal coverage of oceanic water conditions that are unobtainable by any other cost effective means. The hope of Hyperspectral RS [HRS] data is that it will provide the necessary data stream to simultaneously describe the atmospheric and water column optical properties. The goal of these hyperspectral programs is to deve...
