This paper presents a novel image fusion method, suitable for pan-sharpening of multispectral (MS) bands, based on multi-resolution analysis (MRA). The low-resolution MS bands are sharpened by injecting high-pass directional details extracted from the high-resolution panchromatic (Pan) image by means of the curvelet transform, which is a non-separable MRA, whose basis function are directional e...

BACKGROUND: Management of water deficit is a great factor to sustainable crop production, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Vermicompost is an organic compound that is microbial active and rich in nutrients that results from the interaction of earthworms and microorganisms with organic matter decomposition. OBJECTIVES: This research was carried out to ...

In this study we examine the use of Multiscale Fourier Transforms (MFT) on the effect of image fusion and segmentation. The proposed method takes SPOT-PAN and SPOT-XS images to register using MFT technique to produce high quality fused image. The algorithm works iterativly from coarsest level of decomposition to the top level. This process applied to the all sub-bands in order to give best choi...

Ground-based remotely sensed data were used in two major approaches to estimate crop coefficient and evapotranspiration (ET) over two treatments of limited-irrigation corn in northeastern Colorado. The first approach, known as the reflectance-based crop coefficient, takes advantage of the unique relationship between crop coefficients (Kc) and vegetation indices of agricultural crops. The second...

Abstract An observational study was conducted in the northern Sacramento Valley California, United States to determine crop water use and coefficients of three adjacent young Nonpareil/Monterey almond orchards. Methods used quantify evapotranspiration estimates include (1) a soil balance (2) land surface energy using eddy covariance. Three orchards that were planted 2016, 2017, 2018 monitored f...
