B-First: Implementation of remote sensing data and models in optimizing the localisation of renewable energy sources on the example of biofuel crops with respect to ecological constraints
The Project financed under ESA PECS contract (Plan for European Cooperating States). The main aim is to use satellite images (optical and radar) to determine the optimal location for energy crops, in terms of

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

Drzewiecki W., Wawrzaszek A., Aleksandrowicz S., Krupinski M., Bernat K. Comparison of selected textural features as global content-based descriptors of VHR satellite image. Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2013 IEEE International
The paper presents the results of the study of usefulness of selected textural features for describing the content of image chips (1024 by 1024 pixels) cut from WorldView-2 panchromatic images. Several texture analysis techniques

Wawrzaszek A., Krupinski, M. ; Aleksandrowicz S., Drzewiecki W. Fractal and multifractal characteristics of very high resolution satellite images. Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2013 IEEE International.
In our work we analyse fractal and multifractal characteristics for description and extraction of information from very high spatial resolution satellite images. In particular, we propose the degree of multifractality as a parameter for

Presentation of the achievements of programmers from Earth Observation Group
On 11 December in Krakow monthly meeting of the Committee of Geoinformatics Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences was held. Artur Nowakowski presented achievements of a group of programmers working in Earth Observation Group. Within two years of
