the preparation of vegetation cover maps by used the land inventory and a traditional method has a lot of cost and time. but today, remote sensing is one of the main sources of data collection and information production for study and monitoring land resources, and was efficient tools for providing quickly and timely data and information needs for program planning in the natural resource filed. ...

ABSTRACT: As IKONOS satellite with 1-m resolution camera has been lunched in 1999, mapping using space-borne images will be a hot issue in computer vision area and photogrammetry. It is obvious that one of the great challenges to process the high spatial resolution satellite images will be the geometric correction practice. Conventionally, the positioning of the image control points is manually...

In this work, we present a method for early forest fire detection from a satellite image using the power spectral density of a Gaussian white noise. To obtain the latter, we have considered each satellite image matrix line as a realization of a non stationary random process in the Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) spectral band, and then divided each line into very small intervals in which any random pro...

The number of high and very high resolution optical satellites, as well as the number of medium resolution small satellites is growing permanently. With the ground sampling distance (GSD) of 0.5m available now, a competition to aerial photographs down to the image scale 1 : 20 000 exists. The satellite image orientation is depending upon the image product. Mainly close to original images, tradi...

This paper deals with the network technology that will be useful for the development of distributed satellite image databases. In particular, the author proposes a new caching mechanism by combining multiresolution image representation into cache management mechanism. The author first analyzes access pattern to a satellite image database and demonstrates that many kinds of access skew can be we...

In forest area, there are few landmarks to be ground control points (GCPs) used for registration of satellite images or maps. Additionally, geographic information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) in field measurement survey is insufficient accuracy to identify individual tree crowns from satellite image. In this study, we propose the method of identifying individual tree crowns from sat...

This paper present an automated reconstruction high level architectural specification of image merging for satellite image capturing system, aiming at implementing a real-time satellite image processing system for merging more than one fixed size sequential images capture by a fix speed and unidirectional moving satellite camera to generate a large fixed size image. Also focuses on the key arch...

This study proposes a novel tiling approach to capture an image of an entire object. Multi-spectral and multi-temporal satellite images are obtained a priori, and these individual image pieces can then be joined together at a later date to form an image of the entire object. The effectiveness of the proposed technique has been studied by tiling partially overlapping satellite mosaic images of t...
