An investigation of the application of 1-m Ikonos satellite imagery to 3D point positioning and building reconstruction is reported. The focus of the evaluation of Geo panchromatic imagery has been upon 3D positioning accuracy, radiometric quality and attributes of the image data for building feature extraction. Following an initial review of characteristics of the Ikonos system, the multi-imag...

Mangrove stands of differing species composition are hard to distinguish in conventional, coarse resolution satellite images. The new generation of meter-level satellite imagery provides a unique opportunity to achieve this goal. In this study, an IKONOS Geo bundle image and a QuickBird Standard bundle image were acquired for a study area located at Punta Galeta on the Caribbean coast of Panama...

تصویربرداری مقطع‌نگاری نوترونی یکی از کاربردهای مدرن رآکتورهای تحقیقاتی در سرتاسر جهان به‌شمار می‌رود. تلفیق قابلیت نمایش سه‌بعدی با ویژگی‌های منحصر به فرد برهم‌کنش نوترون مواد، می‌تواند اطلاعات بسیار ارزشمندی ساختار داخلی مواد و تجهیزات را اختیار محققین قرار ‌دهد. این تحقیق، تأثیر هندسه داده‌برداری تجربی روش بازسازی تصویر بر کیفیت تصاویر سامانه رآکتور تهران براساس شاخص وضوح میزان تولید نویز مو...

In order to comprehend detailed forest resources, the use of high spatial resolution data is expected. However, the efficeint forest cover type classification method of high spatial resolution data is not cleared yet. So, this study discussed the potential of the forest cover type classification such as classification of coniferous forest, broadleaved forest, and mixed forest, and tree speices ...

The main aim of the research described in the paper was analyse the accuracy of photointerpretation of impervious surface using IKONOS images and its influence on the imperviousness factor determination. Two kinds of IKONOS image were chosen to tests: panchromatic and colour pansharp. Airborne ortopho (pixel size of 0.2m) was applied as a reference. Six operators, digitised three times, two kin...

Accompanying the successful deployments of the IKONOS and QuickBird high-resolution satellite imagery (HRSI) systems have been a number of investigations into the utilisation of HRSI for the extraction of precise 3D metric information. Among the promising ‘alternative’ sensor orientation models investigated has been an approach based on affine projection. This model has previously been reported...

The increasing number of sensor types for terrestrial remote sensing has necessitated supplementary efforts to evaluate and standardize data from the different available sensors. In this study, we assess the potential use of IKONOS, ETM+, and SPOT HRVIR sensors for leaf area index (LAI) estimation in forest stands. In situ measurements of LAI in 28 coniferous and deciduous stands are compared t...
