This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of a nine-week summer project examining all Declassified Intelligence Satellite Photography (DISP) of Antarctica. It was discovered that the data were collected in three separate missions during 1962 and 1963. The first two missions covered only the coastal areas, while the third mission covered the entire continent. Many of the 1782 frames collected were cloudy. This is especially true of West Antarctica. An optimal set of photographs covering the entire Antarctic coastline is identified along with some examples that show changes in the coastline which have occurred since the early 1960s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Declassified Intelligence Satellite Photograph(DISP) data are important resources for measuring the geometry of the coastline of Antarctica. By using the state-of-art digital imaging technology, bundle block triangulation based on tie points and control points derived from a RADARSAT-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) image mosaic and Ohio State University(OSU) Antarctic digital elevation model(DEM), the individual DISP images were accurately assembled into a map quality mosaic of Antarctica as it appeared in 1963. The new map is one of important benchmarks for gauging the response of the Antarctic coastline to changing climate. Automated coastline extraction algorithm design is the second theme of this dissertation. At the pre-processing stage, an adaptive neighborhood filtering was used to remove the film-grain noise while preserving edge features. At the segmentation stage, an adaptive Bayesian approach to image segmentation was used to split the DISP imagery into its homogenous regions, in which the fuzzy c-means clustering(FCM) technique and Gibbs random field(GRF) model were introduced to estimate the conditional and prior probability density functions. A Gaussian mixture model was used to estimate the reliable initial values for the FCM technique. At the post-processing stage, image object formation and labeling, removal of noisy image objects, and vectorization algorithms were sequentially applied to segmented images for extracting a vector representation of coastlines. Results were presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm in segmenting the DISP data. In the cases of cloud cover and little contrast scenes, manual editing was carried out based on intermediate image processing and visual inspection in comparison of old paper maps. Through a geographic information system(GIS), the derived DISP coastline data were integrated with earlier and later data to assess continental scale changes in the Antarctic coast. Computing the area of ma jor Antarctic ice shelves between 1963 and 1997, we found that the net loss was approximately 0.8% and ice shelves retreated mostly between DISP and Scientific Committee Antarctic Research (SCAR) Antarctic Digital Database (ADD). In addition, over the 56-years (1947-present) observations on Pine Island Glacier, we found that the retreat rate has been approximately -10 " 65 m/yr.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With urbanization as a global phenomenon, there is a need for data and information about these terrains. Urban remote sensing techniques provide critical physical input and intelligence for preparing base maps, formulating planning proposals, and monitoring implementations. Likewise these methodologies help with understanding the biophysical properties, patterns, and process of urban landscapes, as well as mapping and monitoring urban land cover and spatial extent. Advanced sensor technologies and image processing methodologies such as deep learning, data mining, etc., facilitate the wide applications of remote sensing technology in urban areas. This book presents advanced image processing methods and algorithms focused on three very important roots of urban remote sensing: 3D urban modelling using different remotely sensed data, urban orthophotomap generation, and urban feature extraction, which are also today’s real challenges in high resolution remote sensing. Data generated by remote sensing, with its repetitive and synoptic viewing and multispectral capabilities, constitutes a powerful tool for mapping and monitoring emerging changes in the city's urban core, as well as in peripheral areas. Features: Provides advances in emerging methods and algorithms in image processing and technology Uses algorithms and methodologies for handling high-resolution imagery from a ground sampling distance (GSD) less than 1.0 meter Focuses on 3D urban modelling, orthorectification methodologies, and urban feature extraction algorithms from high-resolution remotely sensed imagery Demonstrates how to apply up-to-date techniques to the problems identified and how to analyze research results Presents methods and algorithms for monitoring, analyzing, and modeling urban growth, urban planning, and socio-economic developments In this book, readers are provided with valuable research studies and applications-oriented chapters in areas such as urban trees, soil moisture mapping, city transportation, urban remote sensing big data, etc.
