Abstract The Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) systems use electromagnetic radiations of different polarizations in the microwave frequency to collect the scattering information from targets on the Earth. Nevertheless, as with any other electronic device, t...

This paper presents a strategy for optimal manoeuvre design of multi-satellite formation flying in low Earth orbit environment, with the aim of providing a tool for mission operation design. The proposed methodology for formation flying manoeuvres foresees a continuous ...

Remote Sensing (RS) offers efficient tools for drought monitoring, especially in countries with a lack of reliable and consistent in-situ multi-temporal datasets. In this study, a novel RS- based Drought Index (RSDI) named Temperature-Vegetation-soil Moisture-Precipitat...

Abstract Mapping mangrove species is important for mangrove conservation and rehabilitation. However, due to the similar spectral signatures of most mangrove species, accurately mapping mangrove species remains an ongoing challenge. Unmanned aerial vehicles paired with ...

Abstract Geometric Quality Assessment (GQA) of Earth Observation satellites is crucial for monitoring the system performance and anticipate the accuracy of their products. The Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) sensors aboard the geostationary Meteos...

Abstract Snow depth is an essential climate variable (ECV) in hydrologic cycle and is widely used for policy-making in agriculture and water resource management. Regional and global snow depth data also provide useful information for the study of climate change. In this...

Abstract The present study addresses a comparative analysis of the potentials of Airborne Visible and infrared imaging spectrometer -next generation (AVIRIS-NG) data, with respect to Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) data for mapping of sporadic exposures of mafic...

Abstract The Gamma-ray Transients Monitor (GTM) is a secondary payload on board Formosat-8B (FS-8B), a Taiwanese remote-sensing satellite scheduled to launch in 2024. The goal of GTM is to monitor Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and other bright gamma-ray transients in the ener...

Abstract The aim of this study is to examine the capability of the combined LiDAR/WorldView-3 data in estimating the plot-level stand attributes (stem number-N, mean diameter-D, mean height-H, basal area-BA and volume-V) in a complex forest located in the northwest of T...

Ionospheric perturbations induced by tsunamis and earthquakes can be used for tsunami early warning and remote sensing of earthquakes, provided the perturbations are characterized properly to disti...
