Light fields are known for their potential in generating 3D reconstructions of a scene from novel viewpoints without need for a model of the scene. Reconstruction of novel views, however, often leads to ghosting artefacts, which can be relieved by correcting for the depth of objects within the scene using disparity compensation. Unfortunately, reconstructions from this disparity information suf...

The Landuse / Landcover system espoused by almost all Organisations and scientists, engineers and remote sensing community who are involved in mapping of earth surface features, is a system which is derived from the united States Geological Survey (USGS) LULC classification system. The application of RS and GIS involves determining of homogeneous zones, trend analysis of land use integration of...

Detailed land cover information is valuable for mapping complex urban environments. Recent enhancements to satellite sensor technology promise fit-for-purpose data, particularly when processed using contemporary classification approaches. We evaluate this promise by comparing the influence of spatial resolution, spectral band set and classification approach for mapping detailed urban land cover...

The growing use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has led to new research opportunities in the application of satellite imagery to urban analysis. The information content of such images is a function of the combined influence of the radiometric, spatial, and spectral resolution of the sensor. The different bands of satellite sensors are recorded synchronously so that their pixels may be p...

We present a novel method for creating high-resolution 3D reconstructions using RGB-D cameras, such as the Microsoft Kinect. We demonstrate how such a technique can be used both for large scale mapping and high-resolution object detection. Our work consists of two core contributions. First, we present an algorithm to generate 3D reconstructions of arbitrary resolution, up to that of the limitat...

For land cover classification and urban area analysis remote sensing techniques are gaining more importance. Numerous remote sensing techniques have been developed for analyzing the satellite images. The launch of Worldview-2 satellite with resolution of 0.5 m signaled the advent of high resolution satellite images. Such images offer an exciting possibility for feature extraction as well as com...
