Automatic registration of radar imageryIEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - Tập 4 - Trang 2465-2467 vol.4
L.M.G. Fonseca, M.H.M. Costa, S.P. Castellari
Registering radar imagery is not an easy task since the images may be heavily contaminated with noise. Strong speckle noise can produce artifacts that mimic good control points and may produce low precision or even wrong registration. This article presents an automatic registration method that tries to overcome these problems. The method was originally developed for optical images and adapted for ...... hiện toàn bộ

Effects of temperature and moisture of snow and soil on SSM/I response to snowIEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - Tập 1 - Trang 680-682 vol.1
M. Hallikainen, P. Halme, M. Takala, J. Pulliainen
The response of the SSM/I microwave radiometer to snow-covered terrain in Finland is investigated using data for the winters of 1996-97, 1997-98, and 1998-99. The effect of temperature to the brightness temperature of dry snow is examined and a method is proposed to reduce snow/soil temperature-caused fluctuations in the brightness temperature. The feasibility of the method is verified.

Calibration and validation of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission height data for southeastern MichiganIEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - Tập 1 - Trang 167-169 vol.1
K. Sarabandi, C.G. Brown, L. Pierce, D. Zahn, R. Azadegan, K. Buell, M. Casciato, I. Koh, D. Lawrence, M. Park
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) provided data for detailed topographical maps of about 80% of the Earth's surface. SRTM consisted of single-pass C-and X-band interferometric synthetic aperture radars (INSARs). In order to apply SRTM data to remote sensing applications the data must be calibrated and validated. This paper presents the University of Michigan's SRTM calibration and valida...... hiện toàn bộ

Sea ice microstructural characteristics in the Barents Sea in autumn: relevance to microwave remote sensingIEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - Tập 4 - Trang 2176-2178 vol.4
T. Maksym, M. Van Woert, W. Dierking, S.V. Nghiem
The microstructural characteristics of sea ice during autumn freeze-up in the Barents Sea were measured during a microwave remote sensing validation campaign aboard the US Coast Guard icebreaker Healy during October-November 2001. Ice samples were obtained from 16 ice floes and digital images of the thin and thick sections were taken to examine the characteristics of the brine and void structure. ...... hiện toàn bộ

A strategy for mapping Canada's Forest biomass with Landsat TM imageryIEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - Tập 3 - Trang 1312-1315 vol.3
J.E. Luther, R.A. Fournier, R.J. Hall, C.-H. Ung, L. Guindon, D.E. Piercey, M.-C. Lambert, A. Beaudoin
Estimates of forest biomass are needed to meet Canada's international reporting requirements and to provide important inputs for global change, carbon accounting, and forest productivity models. The Canadian Forest Service, in cooperation with the Canadian Space Agency, has developed a strategy for mapping Canada's forest biomass as part of the Earth Observation for Sustainable Development of Fore...... hiện toàn bộ

Can internal tidal waves be observed by ocean color satellite sensors?IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - Tập 3 - Trang 1591-1593 vol.3
J.C.B. da Silva, A.L. New, M. Srokosz
Reveals bands of enhanced levels of near-surface chlorophyll in the central Bay of Biscay in remotely-sensed images from the SeaWiFS ocean colour sensor, and shows that these are most probably associated with the crests of internal tidal waves travelling away from the shelf break. We are able to explain this effect as likely to result from the uplifting of a subsurface chlorophyll maximum by the p...... hiện toàn bộ

Sea ice classification using multi-frequency polarimetric SAR dataIEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - Tập 3 - Trang 1914-1916 vol.3
B. Scheuchl, I. Hajnsek, I. Cumming
This paper discusses the capability of the complex Wishart classifier for sea ice and classification using multifrequency, fully polarimetric SAR data. C-, L-, and P-band data acquired by the JPL AIRSAR in the Beaufort Sea was used. Classification using the unsupervised Wishart classifier is a two-stage process. An initial classification is required to seed the algorithm and can be derived using o...... hiện toàn bộ
