mineral dust can directly affect the solar and terrestrial radiation in both visible and infrared (ir) spectral regions through scattering and absorption processes. due to specific optical properties of dust particles, satellite observed radiances carry the spectral signatures of dust particles that are different from molecular, cloud, and underlying surface. based on these differences, various...

Development of new pattern recognition techniques for the analysis of data collected from satellites and airborne sensors used for Earth observation has been a popular research topic for several decades. Consequently, the pattern recognition and remote sensing research fields have always overlapped. However, the large volumes of remote sensing data acquired from last generation sensors require ...

emissivity mapping of the earth’s surface is the prerequisite to thermal remote sensing. a precise determinationof a surface's temperature is dependent upon the availability of precise emissivity data for that surface. the presentstudy area is a part of sugarcane plantation fields in the west part of khuzestan province. in this work, temperatureemissivity separation algorithm (tes) was applied ...

Image segmentation is an important tool in image processing and can serve as an efficient front end to sophisticated algorithms and thereby simplify subsequent processing. Image segmentation by region merging follows a particular order in the choice of regions. The target of segmentation is always to simplify and/or change the representation of a graphic into something that is more meaningful a...

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are always available, globally, and the signal structures are well known, except for those dedicated to military use. They also have some distinctive characteristics, including the use of L-band frequencies, which are particularly suited for remote sensing purposes. The idea of using GNSS signals for remote sensing the atmosphere, oceans or ...

Mangroves, important components of the world’s coastal ecosystems, are threatened by the expansion of human settlements, the boom in commercial aquaculture, the impact of tidal waves and storm surges, etc. Such threats are leading to the increasing demand for detailed mangrove maps for the purpose of measuring the extent of the decline of mangrove ecosystems. Detailed mangrove maps at the commu...
