This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerial photographs are a crucial tool for ecological monitoring and management. New approaches for aerial photograph analysis are needed because of several existing (and anticipated) challenges associated with traditional analysis techniques. The goal of this thesis is to provide a synthesis of the valuable, and often unique, ecological information available from aerial photographs, and to explore the utility of novel image analysis approaches to extract this information. This research is organized to reflect the future of aerial photography as a discipline. In chapter two, I review the benefits and challenges of using aerial photographs for ecological management. The traditional framework used to classify aerial photographs, as well as sources of error are described within the context of the diverse ecological questions that can be addressed using aerial photography. The need for new approaches to analyze aerial photographs is emphasized throughout this chapter. In chapter three, I compare manual interpretation to an automated approach (combining object-based analysis and classification tree modeling), for five classification schemes routinely used in British Columbia. Automated approaches hold potential for replicating certain aspects of the manual process (such as the delineation of polygons), as automated and manually-delineated objects display few statistical differences. Automated classification accuracy is highly variable, with individual class accuracies ranging from 0- 4%; however the overall accuracy of several classification schemes exceeded 60%, suggesting certain schemes are well suited to automated analysis. In chapter four, object-based analysis is applied to historic aerial photographs to better quantify spatial heterogeneity, a concept fundamental to the field of landscape ecology. My results suggest sixteen independent factors are needed to describe baseline levels of landscape heterogeneity, including several factors not previously identified by t.

Download or read book Automatic Extraction of Man Made Objects from Aerial Space Images written by Armin Gruen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-08-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the latest theoretical and implementational research into the automatic recognition and identification of roads, buildings, and other artifacts from digital aerial or satellite imagery. Some of the topics are inferring homogeneous regions from rich image attributes, three-dimensional reconstructions of urban scenes from sequences of images, geometric versus texture detail, tracking roads in satellite images by playing twenty questions, and the combination of aerial images and maps for interpreting urban scenes. The 29 papers were presented at a workshop in Zurich (date not noted). No subject index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Geoscience and Remote Sensing written by Pei-Gee Ho and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote Sensing is collecting and interpreting information on targets without being in physical contact with the objects. Aircraft, satellites ...etc are the major platforms for remote sensing observations. Unlike electrical, magnetic and gravity surveys that measure force fields, remote sensing technology is commonly referred to methods that employ electromagnetic energy as radio waves, light and heat as the means of detecting and measuring target characteristics. Geoscience is a study of nature world from the core of the earth, to the depths of oceans and to the outer space. This branch of study can help mitigate volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides ... etc terrible human life disaster and help develop ground water, mineral ores, fossil fuels and construction materials. Also, it studies physical, chemical reactions to understand the distribution of the nature resources. Therefore, the geoscience encompass earth, atmospheric, oceanography, pedology, petrology, mineralogy, hydrology and geology. This book covers latest and futuristic developments in remote sensing novel theory and applications by numerous scholars, researchers and experts. It is organized into 26 excellent chapters which include optical and infrared modeling, microwave scattering propagation, forests and vegetation, soils, ocean temperature, geographic information , object classification, data mining, image processing, passive optical sensor, multispectral and hyperspectral sensing, lidar, radiometer instruments, calibration, active microwave and SAR processing. Last but not the least, this book presented chapters that highlight frontier works in remote sensing information processing. I am very pleased to have leaders in the field to prepare and contribute their most current research and development work. Although no attempt is made to cover every topic in remote sensing and geoscience, these entire 26 remote sensing technology chapters shall give readers a good insight. All topics listed are equal important and significant.
