The paper explores the changing role of remote sensing within land resource assessment applications in Scotland over the past 60 years. The objective is to identify key trends and highlight future directions. A wide definition of remote sensing (RS) and resource assessment is adopted, the latter including both tangibles like soils, vegetation and land cover but also intangibles like the visual ...

At present, the research about radar clutter has been a special field, which greatly affects the development and application of radar in remote sensing. The radar clutter is very complicated, because it is a kind of random process, besides it isn’t visible to human. This paper presents an innovative and creative method to support this research. It makes use of ‘ 3S’ (RS, GPS, GIS) integrated te...

Hyperspectral images have the high spectral resolution rather than to multispectral images. By development of remote sensing technology, the new sensors with hyperspectral capabilities in RS science will be replaced to multispectral imaging. A big advantage of hyperspectral images comparison to that of multispectral images is a continuous spectrum for each image cell that can be derived from im...

A large number of technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Remote Sensing (RS), geophysical instruments, allows nowadays for fast and reliable automated capture, management and analysis of archaeological data. Beyond the City Walls (BCW) is a landscape archaeology project based in the countryside of the Roman municipium of Aquileia (Italy) th...

Oasis stability in the lower reaches of the Tarim River was assessed at the landscape scale (including changes in landscape pattern and land use in the oasis) and at the regional scale (including the cold-island effect and NDVI of the oasis) based on the methods of landscape ecology, GIS and Remote Sensing (RS). Thematic Mapping (TM) remote sensing images from 1990, 2000 and 2009 were employed ...

The remote sensing images fusing is a method, which integrates multiform image data sets into a new data set by geometry matching, color transformation and other ways. During mapping the LiJiang county in YunNan province with high-resolution remote sensing image, we found that it is a good way to utilize the technique of image fusing, which includes image matching, image interpolation, edge enh...

abstract the amount of needed fertilizer in agricultural soils depends to the type of crop. absence of enough fertilizer may cause in tensions in plants and consequently result in decrease in amount of product. according to the agricultural literature, soils containing total nitrogen amounts (n %) between 0.1-0.15 percent are considered as soils containing normal amounts of nitrogen. the values...

During the past decades the publication of papers interest related to the use of geographical information systems (GIS) and/or remote sensing (RS) and of particular interest to veterinary parasitology veterinary followed an exponential trend. The use of GIS and RS is now generally accepted by the scientific community as a major tool contributing to the understanding of epidemiological processes...
