Three-dimensional (3-D) maps of the nearside and polar regions of the Moon can be obtained with an Earth-based radar interferometer. This paper describes the theoretical background, experimental setup, and processing techniques for a sequence of observations performed with the Goldstone Solar System Radar in 1997. These data provide radar imagery and digital elevation models of the polar areas ...

The paper is focused on Digital Elevation Model (DEM) reconstruction from differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR). In doing so, conventional DInSAR procedures are implemented to three repeat passes of RADARSAT-1 SAR fine mode data (F1). Further, the multichannel MAP height estimator is implemented with phase unwrapping technique. Consequently, the multichannel MAP height e...

Geostatistical models for spatial prediction are based on observations points. When ancillary information related to the target variable is available, it can be used to improve the estimations. Some sources of information, like satellite images or digital elevation models, provide full information for the whole study area, improving even more the point estimation. It is useful when the target v...

We show how a series of satellite images used in conjunction with data derived from a digital terrain model can be used to monitor salinity in farmland. Using these data, a conditional probability network (CPN) is constructed to produce salinity maps. The maps are the result of combining uncertain information in images with uncertain knowledge or rules, where the rules are of a temporal and spa...

Describing vegetation types is critical for managing natural resources and assessing ecosystem risk. Vegetation maps are historically produced by “Western experts,” often ignoring local-level groups critical to resource management. Indigenous hunters, as resource managers, have strong connections to their landscapes and their descriptions of vegetation within their homelands can be useful in th...

The mapping with the high resolution satellite image instead of aerial images is one of the most important applications in the field of remote sensing. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility for generating the thematic maps such as digital map, ortho-rectified image, and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using the second KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT-2) stereo dataset....

The selection of the minimal number of observers that ensures the maximum visual coverage over an area represented by a digital elevation model (DEM) have great interest in many fields, e.g., telecommunications, environment planning, among others. However, this problem is complex and intractable when the number of points of the DEM is relatively high. This complexity is due to three issues: 1) ...

Singhbhum Shear Zone is a highly mineralized zone having variety of minerals, predominantly those of uranium, copper and some sulphide minerals. From Remote Sensing data it is possible to decipher the regional lithology, tectonic fabric and also the geomorphic details of a terrain which aid precisely in targeting of metals and minerals. Mapping of mineralized zones can be done using Geospatial ...

This paper presents a method to build ne resolution digital terrain maps, on the basis of a set of low altitude aerial stereovision images. Stereovision images are the only data available: to build a global map, we introduce an algorithm that uses interest point matches between successive images to estimate their relative position. Experimental results are presented and discussed, they show how...
