In this letter, we apply the multifractal formalism to land cover change detection on very high spatial resolution data. Specifically, multifractal spectra are determined and, with modifications, are used as an initial general indicator
The spatial resolution of remote sensing instruments installed onboard satellites is one of the key factors for accurate estimations of cloud amount. In general terms, the larger the instantaneous field of view (IFOV), the
Surface-based and satellite-based observations remain the fundamental source of cloud amount data for climatologists. However, both data sets show inconsistency related to the interpretation of instantaneous cloud detection, whether measured using the okta scale
W artykule przedstawiono wycenę turystyki jako usługi ekosystemowej w regionie Wielkich Jezior Mazurskich.Wycenę przeprowadzono metodą kosztów podróży,wykorzystując wyniki badania kwestionariuszowego (n=499) i dane statystyczne. Uwzględniono szerokie spektrum elementów: koszty dojazdu, koszt czasu dojazdu, koszty
In this work we analyse fractal and multifractal characteristics for description and extraction of information from VHR satellite images. We propose the degree of multifractality as a global descriptor of satellite image content and
After decades of mining and industrialization in Qatar, it is important to estimate their impact on soil pollution with toxic metals. The study utilized 300 topsoil (0–30 cm) samples, multi-spectral images (Landsat 8), spectral
Knowledge about the magnitude of localised flooding of riverine areas is crucial for appropriate land management and administration at regional and local levels. However, detection and delineation of localised flooding with remote sensing techniques
Every year thousands of people are displaced by conflicts or natural disasters and often gather in large camps. Knowing how many people have been gathered is crucial for an efficient relief operation. However, it
Most satellite cloud climatologies come in the form of global, low-resolution datasets: so- called ‘gridded’ Level 3 products, resulting from the reprojection and spatio-temporal aggregation of swath (Level 2) data. Their coarse resolution means
W ramach pracy przeanalizowano 6 scen o trzydziestometrowej rozdzielczości pochodzące z satelitów Landsat 5, 7 i 8, zarejestrowane w sześciu zakresach długości fali i prezentujące obszar Warszawy. Stosując dwa algorytmy podziału dużych scen –
