The retrieval of impervious surface information is a hot topic in remote sensing. However, researches on impervious surface retrieval from hyperspectral remote sensing imagery are rare. This paper illustrates a case study of information extraction from urban impervious surfaces based on hyperspectral remote sensing imagery that is intended to improve the image spectral resolution of impermeable...

Recent advances in remote sensed imagery and geospatial image processing using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have enabled the rapid and ongoing development of monitoring tools for crop management and the detection/surveillance of insect pests. This paper describes a (UAV) remote sensing-based methodology to increase the efficiency of existing surveillance practices (human inspectors and insec...

Motivation. Multi and Hyperspectral remote sensing imagery provide valuable insights regarding the composition of a scene and significantly facilitate tasks like object and material recognition, spectral unmixing and region clustering, among others [1], [2]. However, current remote sensing imaging architectures are unable to concurrently acquire high spatial and spectral resolution imagery, due...

Fusion of remote sensing data from multiple sensors has been remarkably increased for classification. This is because, additional sources may provide more information, and fusion of different information can produce a better understanding of the observed site. In the field of data fusion, fusion of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and optical remote sensing data for land cover classification...

to prospect mineral deposits at regional scale, recognition and classification of hydrothermal alteration zones using remote sensing data is a popular strategy. due to the large number of spectral bands, classification of the hyperspectral data may be negatively affected by the hughes phenomenon. a practical way to handle the hughes problem is preparing a lot of training samples until the size ...

The non-native Saltcedar (Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb.) and the native Honey mesquite (Prosopis Glandulosa Torr.), exist in abundance in Clark County, NV. We are using remote sensing to measure changes in distribution and abundance of these species. We collected six strips of 1m-resolution SpecTIR hyperspectral images in Clark County on May, 2005. SpecTIR has 227 spectral bands ranging from 0.45 ...

The use of airborne hyperspectral remote sensing imagery for automated mapping of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the tidal Potomac River was investigated for near to real-time resource assessment and monitoring. Airborne hyperspectral imagery and field spectrometer measurements were obtained in October of 2000. A spectral library database containing selected ground-based and airborne sen...

The Los Menucos District, Rio Negro, Argentina, provides an excellent case history of a complex epithermal gold system mapped and explored using a combination of field mapping and multispectral/hyperspectral remote sensing. The district offers a host of argillic and advanced argillic alteration minerals at the surface, many of which are difficult to identify visually. A strategy utilizing regio...
