An approach has been proposed which is based on using several principal components from the hyperspectral data and build morphological profiles. These profiles can be used all together in one extended morphological profile. A shortcoming of the approach is that it is primarily designed for classification of urban structures and it does not fully utilize the spectral information in the data. Similarly, a pixel-wise classification solely based on the spectral content can be performed, but it lacks information on the structure of the features in the image. An extension is proposed in this paper in order to overcome these dual problems. The proposed method is based on the data fusion of the morphological information and the original hyperspectral data: the two vectors of attributes are concatenated. After a reduction of the dimensionality using Decision Boundary Feature Extraction, the final classification is achieved using a Support Vector Machines classifier. The proposed approach is tested in experiments on ROSIS data from urban areas. Significant improvements are achieved in terms of accuracies when compared to results of approaches based on the use of morphological profiles based on PCs only and conventional spectral classification.","PeriodicalId":284711,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133772331","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 inclusion of this contextual information allows improving the estimation accuracy.

Both radar and radiometer wind dependences show similar signal growth with wind speed increase (except for the radiometer at vertical polarization and a near-Brewster angle). Analysis of the low-wind data shows that wind speed is a poor characteristic of the sea surface state in calm conditions because the wind field itself is quite non-uniform in space and time. Under such conditions both radar and radiometer data show strong scatter versus mean wind speed, but they are still well correlated with each other. We conclude that both active and passive instruments respond to the local variations of the sea surface roughness, which are not related to the mean wind speed at low winds. Our comparison shows that the best correlation is between the radar looking at 40-60deg and the near-nadir looking radiometer, which agrees with the theory of scattering/emission from a rough surface.","PeriodicalId":284711,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124462107","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}

Using differential interferometric measurements, the measurement accuracy can be very good if the distance between the reference and the potential rock-slide area is small. However, if the distance to the reference is large or if using a reference is not possible, the measured accuracy is dependent on the variation of the refractive index. Using meteorological data at the radar site, the refractive index can be estimated locally. The results show that the meteorological data can improve the interferometric radar measurement accuracy.","PeriodicalId":284711,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115744724","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}
