Remote Sensing

Emergency  managers  of  today  grapple  with  post-hurricane damage assessment that is often labor-intensive, slow,costly,   and   error-prone.   As   an   important   first   step   towards addressing  the   challenge,   this   paper   presents   the   development of  benchmark  datasets  to  enable  the  automatic  detection  ofdamaged buildings from post-hurricane remote sensing imagerytaken  from  both  airborne  and  satellite  sensors.  Our  work  has two  major  contributions:  (1)  we  propose  a  scalable  framework to  create  benchmark  datasets  of  hurricane-damaged  buildings

This work quantifies water contamination in jet fuel (Jet A-1), using silica-based Bragg gratings. The optical sensor geometry exposes the evanescent optical field of a guided mode to enable refractometery. Quantitative analysis is made in addition to the observation of spectral features consistent with emulsification of water droplets and Stokes’ settling. Measurements are observed for cooling and heating cycles between ranges of 22oC and -60oC. The maximum spectral sensitivity for water contamination was 2.4 pm/ppm-v with a resolution of < 5 ppm-v.

Run_IMA_proceure.R is an script that fills the clouds of the 3 target images or the complete neighborhood of 27 images of LST and NDVI remote sensing data in Navarre(Spain) and estimates the standard errors.

Automatic classification of sensitive content in remote sensing images, such as drug crop sites, is a promising task as it can aid law-enforcement institutions fighting illegal drug dealers worldwide, while, at the same time, it can help monitoring legalized crops in countries that regulate them. However, existing art on detecting drug crops from remote sensing images is limited in some key factors not taking full advantage of the available hyperspectral info for analysis.
