The percentage of green, type of green and proximity to green are selected as parameters to study weighted urban green space index. All these parameters were derived from IRS P6 LISS IV data and IRS P6 LISS 4 + Cartosat-1 fused product. NDVI and Object based classification method is used to obtain different layers and then is analyzed using multi criteria analysis to derive the modified green index. The final result shows the distribution of green space in study area consisted of very high quality green, high quality green, moderate quality green and low quality green.

Data were organized to examine both seasonal and monthly variation of SST during 2005 - 2008. The four year period was chosen as a first approach to address and describe this phenomenon. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed, while hot spots and SST anomalies for each month and season were identified. The results show a smooth monthly variation of SST with February to be the coldest month while July the hottest as expected. The year with the higher average SST value was 2007 with 25.1 o C while 2006 presents the minimum average value. In addition, the high resolution maps of 1 km that extracted from the analysis with a wide spatial coverage, allows to the detail representation of SST in the region. This helps to produce a rich eddy field and it allows monitoring the outflow of Black Sea Waters through the Dardanelles Strait.","PeriodicalId":219241,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133893379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this research was the investigation of the change in vegetation cover dynamic in time and its relationship with rainfall in Central regions of Sudan for a decade (2000- 2010). To achieve our objective, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series obtained from SPOT-VGT sensor, precipitation data measured over the study area by different weather stations, GIS and statistical analysis were used. The obtained results show significant level of agreement between NDVI and rainfall values during the study period (0.6 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.8). Certainly, such derived results could be useful as imputing in the carbon cycle models and/or climate impact modeling, as well the development of new policy for climate change adaptation.","PeriodicalId":219241,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"11 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131957489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The standard method for generating synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images for this radar is the backprojection (BP) algorithm, which has poor resolution and high sidelobe problems. In this paper, we consider using the Sparse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation (SPICE) algorithm and the Spare Learning via Iterative Minimization (SLIM) algorithm for generating sparse high-resolution images for FLGPR. A pre-processing step, which involves an orthogonal projection of the received data onto a subspace related to the region of interest is performed, for decreasing the dimension of the data and for clutter reduction. The SLIM and SPICE algorithms are user-parameter free, and are capable of providing SAR images with improved resolution. We also use the well-known CLEAN approach for imaging based on a proposed signal model in the time domain. We show using simulated data that the SPICE and SLIM algorithms provide higher resolution than CLEAN and the standard BP. Imaging using real data collected via the Synchronous Impulse Reconstruction (SIRE) radar, a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) FLGPR radar developed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), is also presented and used for analysis.","PeriodicalId":219241,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133715007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this research study is to experiment terrestrial laser scanning, in both static and mobile mode, for the extraction of urban objects of an urban street survey. Particularly, this research aims to develop a comparative study, of the two methods, according to the conventional method (tachometry measurement). We have established a methodology in order to extract objects form 3D data collected by a static laser scanner and a mobile mapping system. The proposed methodology has been tested on two urban street sections of 300 meters length. Finally, we fixed a comparative analysis between the two laser scanning methods, within the following comparison levels: qualitative level (precision and completeness criteria), time level (operative time for acquisition and processing) and financial level (direct costs). The results show the efficiency of the mobile mapping approach especially for data acquisition. To establish an urban survey, the direct cost is 71% cheaper using a mobile mapping system and 50% cheaper using a static laser scanner, than using the conventional method.","PeriodicalId":219241,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"35 49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129669122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
