Image fusion is one of the important techniques to enhance image information of remote sensing. In order to adequately make use of all kinds of remote sensing images information such as Panchromatic and threeband multi-spectral images, a novel remote sensing image fusion scheme based on wavelet transform is proposed. The fusion of multispectral (MS) and panchromatic (PAN) images, with complemen...

Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...

the objective of this study is to develop a novel methodology integrating remote sensing, geographic information system technology and local spatial autocorrelation geo-computation for quick drought assessment. one group of drought indices, based on the condition of the vegetation, includes the normalized difference vegetation index (ndvi), anomaly of normalized difference vegetation index (ndv...

Remote sensing, the science of obtaining information via noncontact recording, has swept the fields of ecology, biodiversity and conservation (EBC). Several quality review papers have contributed to this field. However, these papers often discuss the issues from the standpoint of an ecologist or a biodiversity specialist. This review focuses on the spaceborne remote sensing of EBC from the pers...

Triggered by earthquakes, rainfall, or anthropogenic activities, landslides represent widespread and problematic geohazards worldwide. In recent years, multiple remote sensing techniques, including synthetic aperture radar, optical, and light detection and ranging measurements from spaceborne, airborne, and ground-based platforms, have been widely applied for the analysis of landslide processes...

ecological studies based on field data have shown that vegetation phenology follows a relatively well-defined temporal pattern. this pattern, that is reflecting the cumulative temperature from the date of the beginning of the growth, can be represented by the use of a suitable model. due to the spatial, temporal, and ecological complexity of these processes a simple method to monitor phenologic...

Scientists with NASA’s Earth Science Applications Directorate are creating a well-characterized Verification &Validation (V&V) site at the Stennis Space Center (SSC). This site enables the in-flight characterization of remote sensing systems and the data that they acquire. The data are predominantly acquired by commercial, high-spatial resolution satellite systems, such as IKONOS and QuickBird ...

Remote Sensing has started to institute a “Best Paper” award to recognize the most outstanding papers in the area of remote sensing techniques, design and applications published in Remote Sensing. We are pleased to announce the first “Remote Sensing Best Paper Award” for the year 2014. Nominations were selected by the Editor-in-Chief and selected editorial board members from among all the paper...
