Papers are solicited for a Special Issue of IEEE J-STARS on Multi-Scale Forestry Applications Supported by Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Systems.
The development, implementation and monitoring of environmental policies is dependent on the availability of sound information on the state of the environment. Of…
After a disaster such as an earthquake or tsunami it is important to know quickly the dimensions of the damage to human relief work and crisis management. To study the utility of high-resolution radar damage-assessment for this purpose, pre- and post-seismic TerraSAR-X and Cosmo-SkyMed data…
Avoiding spatial autocorrelation is the key to many research questions especially for field design, remote sensing data selection, and maximum spatial variation caption. Spatial variation across land cover types as well as the gradients inherent in ecotones can be captured in reflectance which is a…
The work presented here tests an automatic procedure able to recognize the presence of built-up areas in the satellite images with the output nominal scale of 1:50,000. The input data is a set of 54 Ikonos and Quick Bird scenes considered as representative of the…
This special issue spreads from the XIII International Conference on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR2010) held in June 2010 in Lecce, Italy. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the mostly assessed and exploited technologies for non-destructive subsurface sensing and imaging. As a matter of fact,…
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measurement and its interpretation/analysis are challenging when soil is heterogeneous. Soil heterogeneity causes unwanted reflections (i.e., clutter) that disturb reflections from objects of interest. Thorough investigations on soil heterogeneity and clutter are important in order to understand the influence on GPR and…
