Change Detection Algorithm for the Production of Land Cover Change Maps over the European Union Countries

Contemporary satellite Earth Observation systems provide growing amounts of very high spatial resolution data that can be used in various applications. An increasing number of sensors make it possible to monitor selected areas in

While it is well-known that texture can be used to classify very high resolution (VHR) data, the limits of its applicability have not been unequivocally specified. This study examines whether it is possible to

The goal of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) is to provide global cloud amount statistics for atmospheric radiation flux modeling, which is a key element of climate change studies. However, ISCCP estimates

Over the last years, many features describing satellite images have been proposed. In this paper we analyse and compare fractal and multifractal features in the context of the discrimination of the four most common

European Area Frame Sampling Based on Very High Resolution Images

Initiated in 2007, the Area Frame Sampling Europe subtask of the Seasonal and Annual Change Monitoring Service (SATChMo) Core Service in the geoland2 project delivered its final products in 2012. Three of these are

W pracy przedstawiamy formalizm multifraktalny, jako narzędzie wspomagające opis i ekstrakcję informacji z wysokorozdzielczych zobrazowań satelitarnych. Podejście to opiera się na założeniu, że na pojedynczy obraz (multifraktal) składa się wiele fraktali, każdy o innym
