Many municipalities and government agencies have constructed aerial photo databases all over the world. Keeping these databases up to date is the most important part of making them effective so that aerial photo databases are expected to be updated as frequently as possible. However, in practice, some of them are barely updated because of high cost. In this study, medium spatial resolution imagery is proposed to detect changes. Instead of using aerial photos, free accessible Landsat ETM+ from GeoBase and orthophotomaps from SODB are used for change detection. In order to compare with different spatial resolution images orthophotomaps are decomposed, segmented, and classified through wavelet transform and object-oriented classification. Although the detected changes are rough, the result shows that the method is quite cost-effective and practical. Moreover, it could support decision making for updating aerial photo databases.","PeriodicalId":237798,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125455098","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 center and slope of the segment is determined by the Doppler center and Doppler ambiguity integer. Meanwhile, the spreading length is jointly determined by the azimuth velocity and Doppler ambiguity integer. Furthermore, this paper derives the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) of parameter estimation in CID.

After orthocorrection and atmospheric correction, we analyzed the directional reflectance (HDRF) of a dense conifer forest to get two CSI, i.e. effective value of re-collision probability, pr, and escape probability R1 at different angles. These two invariants at all five angles were regressed to LVIS_H100 data, which is relevant to canopy height, and demonstrated a comparable statistics to the regression with spectral reflectances. In this sense, CSI method can act as an effective tool to reduce the dimension of hyperspectral remote sensing data by a ratio of N/2 (N is the number of spectral bands). Re-collision probability, pr, and escape probability R1 can be understood as two principle components in PCA, however, they are superior to principle components because the transformation is based on radiation transfer physics and reduction result have explicit interpretation. In similar consideration to reduce the redundancy as above, we also calculated the deviation of each spectral band to the fitted value from pr and R1 and make a statistics for all the sampling pixels. We picked out the best fitted bands, as most of them locate in NIR range, we employed statistics to determine which to supplement in visible range, and discussed the potential of these bands to be selected as optimal VNIR bands combination of future vegetation sensor design.","PeriodicalId":237798,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125760266","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}

Two strong relationships were discovered (two linear fit described respectively the positive correlation), one between in-situ reflectance ratio R680/R527 and total suspended sediment concentrations (TSS) (R2=65%) and the other between chlorophyll-a concentrations and the reflectance ratio R704/R513 (R2=78%); however, the result also showed that the absorption coefficient of color dissolved organic matter (CDOM) was not tightly correlated with reflectance. In addition, we also observed the significant relationships (R2=79%) between TSS and surface salinity. Finally, we were able to develop a novel method to detect water constituents' concentrations and surface salinity of river estuary waters from the calibrated EO-1 Hyperion reflectance data in the PRE. The EO-1 Hyperion derived surface salinity and water constituents' concentrations were validated using in-situ data that were collected on December 21, 2006, and synchronous with EO-1 Hyperion satellite imagery acquisition. The results showed that the semi-empirical relationships are capable of predicting salinity and water constituents' concentrations from EO-1 Hyperion imagery.","PeriodicalId":237798,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126007099","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}

According to the sensor's imaging process, the simulation is divided into four sub-modules, which are optics, detector, electronics parts and system noise. Based on the theory of optical transfer function (OTF), each sub-module can be treated as a spatial filter and thus its simulation can be realized in the spatial frequency domain.

These images were segmented on three hierarchical levels (tree, hedge and field) and were subsequently classified by means of membership functions using fuzzy logic. The results show that the remote sensing images with a spatial resolution equal or less than 10 meters are appropriate to automatically inventory wooded hedgerows.

The four-component decomposition method decomposes polarimetric microwave data into four components, i.e. surface scattering, double bounce scattering, volume scattering and helix scattering. Prior to the present research, three dimensional structure of the rice was measured and modeled. The model was used to calculate the probability density function of the rice leaves at a viewpoint of arbitrary zenith and azimuth angles. With this probability density function, a covariance matrix of volume scattering for the rice was developed. This covariance matrix was embedded in the four-component decomposition, and it was applied for the polarimetric X-band scattering data of rice, measured in an anechoic radio wave chamber in Niigata Univ. during September 25 to 26, 2007. It was found that the proposed four-component decomposition produced more volume scattering and less surface scattering than the results produced by the standard four-component analysis. As a result, it is concluded that the probability distribution to the target shape should be considered.","PeriodicalId":237798,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115809971","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}
