Installation dynamics, optimal thruster propulsion, and specific impulse thrust for reignitable fuel motors to regulate pointing error is obtained for geosynchronous (e.g., the Indian National Satellite, INSAT–1B), and sunsynchronous (e.g., the Indian Earth Resource Satellite, IRS–1) satellites parked in transfer orbits. Filter dynamics for slow and fast terrestrial system are obtained. Design ...

The increasing availability of the high spatial resolution satellite images has provided a new data source for building extraction. This paper proves the concept of object oriented classification using high-resolution satellite data (Cartosat-1 satellite data fused with IRS-1C, LISS IV data) for automatic building extraction using eCognition software. In this study, the overall accuracy of clas...

This paper investigates the performance of integrated wireless sensor and multibeam satellite networks (IWSMSNs) under terrestrial interference. The IWSMSNs constitute sensor nodes (SNs), satellite sinks (SSs), multibeam satellite and remote monitoring hosts (RMHs). The multibeam satellite covers multiple beams and multiple SSs in each beam. The SSs can be directly used as SNs to transmit sensi...

The analysis of IRS 1A satellite imagery has indicated the existence of two NE SW trending sub parallel faults along which the coast is undergoing land subsidence as revealed by the concavity in the shore line, preferential migration of the river systems and the drainage congestion, absence of beach ridges, occurrence of off shore shoal etc. The study has further indicated chains of tectonicall...

Resourcesat-1 satellite offers a unique opportunity of simultaneous observations at three different spatial scales through LISSIV, LISS-III (improved LISS-III) and AWiFS sensors from a common platform. The sensors have enhanced capabilities in terms of spectral, spatial and radiometric resolution as compared to earlier Indian Remote sensing Satellite sensors. This paper summarizes the results o...

The fusion of high-spectral but low spatial resolution multispectral and low-spectral but high spatial resolution panchromatic satellite images is a very useful technique in various remote sensing applications. Recently, some studies showed that wavelet-based image fusion methods provide a high quality spectral content of fused images. However, the spatial resolution of waveletbased fused image...

Ž A technique using the Hough transform is described for detection of homogeneous line segments directly from i.e., . without binarization of gray level images. A definition of ‘‘region’’ in terms of these line segments, with constraints on its length and variance, is provided. The algorithm is able to extract gray level regions irrespective of their shape and size. The Ž . effectiveness of the...

Highresolution remote sensing satellite data serve as a source for equilibrium line (EL) analysis on top of glaciers. Data fusion techniques are used in order to take advantage from both the multispectral and panchromatic information available from simultaneously acquired IRS-LISS and -PAN recordings. As a result of segmentation between snow and ice the EL is derived based on multispectral clas...

Nowadays, the information content of the satellite imageries as a means for the disaster forecasting and management has attracted the worldwide attention more than before. On the other hand, linear array satellite images such as Spot, Ikonos, QuickBird, IRS, etc., with their flexibility in acquiring stereo coverage over any part of the globe, have proven to be an excellent replacement for the o...
