In remotesensing, one is often interested in not only ascertaining the presence of certain resources or objects of interest, but also in determining their locations. Ground registration involves locating the target in sensor coordinates and performing a series of coordinate transformations to convert this location to earth coordinates. One application of this would be in preparing a scaled map showing the precise locations of the resources/objects of interest. To improve ground registration accuracy one can combine multiple looks from a single sensor and/or looks from multiple sensors. One advantage in utilizing multiple sensors is that one can fuse the measurements in such a way as to exploit the best characteristics of each sensor. This paper is applied to vehicular mounted remotesensing and presents the benefits obtained when combining radar and IR as a means of determining ground coordinates of the objects of interest.

The data of Gunung Ledang region of Malaysia acquired through LANDSAT are considered to map certain hydrogeological features. To map these significant features, image-processing tools such as contrast enhancement, edge detection techniques are employed. The advantages of these techniques over the other methods are evaluated from the point of their validity in properly isolating features of hydrogeological interest are discussed. As these techniques take the advantage of spectral aspects of the images, these techniques have several limitations to meet the objectives. To discuss these limitations, a morphological transformation, which generally considers the structural aspects rather than spectral aspects from the image, are applied to provide comparisons between the results derived from spectral based and the structural based filtering techniques.

In this paper, we investigate the practical implementation issues of the real-time constrained linear discriminant analysis (CLDA) approach for remotely sensed image classification. Specifically, two issues are to be resolved: (1) what is the best implementation scheme that yields lowest chip design complexity with comparable classification performance. and (2) how to extend CLDA algorithm for multispectral image classification. Two limitations about data dimensionality have to be relaxed. One is in real-time hyperspectral image classification. where the number of linearly independent pixels received for classification must be larger than the data dimensionality (i.e., the number of spectral bands) in order to generate a non-singular sample correlation matrix R for the classifier, and relaxing this limitation can help to resolve the aforementioned first issue. The other is in multispectral image classification. where the number of classes to be classified cannot be greater than the data dimensionality, and relaxing this limitation can help to resolve the afore mentioned second issue. The former can be solved by introducing a pseudo inverse initiate of sample correlation matrix for R-1 adaptation. and the latter is taken care, of by expanding the data dimensionality via the operation of hand multiplication. Experiments on classification performance using these modifications are conducted to demonstrate their feasibility. All these investigations lead to a detailed ASIC chip design-scheme for the real-time CLDA algorithm suitable to both hyperspectral and multispectral images. The proposed techniques. to resolving these two dimensionality limitations are instructive to the real-time implementation of several popular detection and classification approaches in remotesensingimage exploitation.

Geometric and radiometric correction, imageprocessing, information extraction and the integration of remotesensing, GIS and GPS in the specific approach for dynamic monitoring of land resources in mountainous areas are discussed. A synthesized method combining the image difference approach with comparison post classification is employed and a monitoring system based on remotesensing, GIS and GPS are set up. Different illumination conditions are key factors influencing the spectral features in mountainous areas, thus the comprehensive analysis of DEM and NDVI are employed to restrain the influence of terrain. Errors also commonly generate in the registration of different temporal images and much change information is usually lost when the mean-value smoothing template is employed in the imageprocessing in mountainous areas. To reduce the information lost, a regional auto-adaptive smoothing template is employed. As a case study, according to the specific characteristics of mountainous areas, the TM images acquired from both 1994 and 1996 are processed for land change detection in Renhe District, Sichuan. Field experiments for radiometric correction are conducted in the areas of 25 Km(2) in this district. The changed areas are precisely surveyed and validated after the fieldwork in which the database of detailed land survey is acquired. Combined with Geological Information System (GIS) technology and Global Position System (GPS), a 3S-based dynamic monitoring system of land resources change information in Renhe District is established, which helps the data renewal and daily management. Finally, the key factors influencing the accuracy of information extracting in mountainous areas are discussed.

In category classification of remotely sensed imagery, it is important that pixels of image are classified using spatial informaton. We have implemented MRF(Markov Random Field) model for a classification of higher accuracy. The model of MRF is a random field whose random variable is owed to its neighborhood. The LANDSAT TM data of the Kanto area, Japan, has been alalyzed with the manner of iteration in which probability density function for a confiuration of classes reaches a maximum. Partly because of taking into account of edge information in image, the results show considerably good classification.

In the region covered by variable amounts of vegetation, pixel spectra received by remotely-sensed sensor with given spatial resolution are a mixture of soil and vegetation spectra, so vegetation covering on soil influences the accuracy of soils surveying by remotesensing. Mixed pixel spectra are described as a linear combination of endmember signature matrix with appropriate abundance fractions correspond to it in a linear mixture model. According to the principle of this model, abundance fractions of endmembers in every pixel were calculated using unsupervised fully constrained least squares(UFCLS) algorithm. Then the signature of vegetation correspond to its abundance fraction was eliminated, and other endmember signatures covered by vegetation were restituted by scaling their abundance fractions to sum the original pixel total and recalculating the model. After above processing, de-vegetated reflectance images were produced for soils surveying. The accuracies of paddy soils classified using these characteristic images were better than that of using the raw images, but the accuracies of zonal soils were inferior to the latter. Compared to many other imageprocessing methods, such as K-T transformation and ratio bands, the linear spectral unmixing to removing vegetation produced slightly better overall accuracy of soil classification, so it was useful for soils surveying by remotesensing.

This paper describes work being done at Raytheon-Santa Barbara remotesensing (SBRS) in the area of entropy reduction of remotesensing data on the National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Visible/Infrared imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument. The VIIRS instrument will produce the largest amount of data on the NPOESS satellite platform, and thus has the greatest impact on data rate. The VIIRS instrument produces 22 bands of radiometric and imaging data, which must be transmitted to the spacecraft without loss of data integrity. VIIRS uses an implementation of the RICE algorithm, along with spectral subtraction and data trimming that are described in this paper, to provide lossless data compression. This paper will also describe a simulation that predicted the data reduction performance and the resulting sensor data rates when VIIRS observes the earth from orbit. This paper will also describe the VIIRS implementation of the Fault Tolerant 1394 data network that utilizes the 1394 ASIC chipset developed by the NPOESS Integrated Program Office (IPO) and Northrop Grumman Space and Technology (NGST). This high-speed network will facilitate the reliable transmission of large amounts of compressed and uncompressed science and telemetry data from the VIIRS instrument to the NPOESS spacecraft.

The efficiency of patternrecognition depends heavily on that if feature extraction and selecting are effective. Complicated image such as medical image and remotesensingimage, belong to image with natural textures, this kind of image is always of high resolution, with many layers of gray degree, and a very intricate shape structure. Because there are no obvious shapes, but only distributions of some gray degrees and colors in these images, so for them, there are no good methods yet for feature extraction and region recognition. In this paper, based on information augmentation and kinetics, we present a learning algorithm, which can be used to do region classification of the above-mentioned images with natural textures. We applied our algorithm to recognition of image with natural textures and obtained a good result.

Support vector machine (SVM) is a newly learning machine. In the paper, it applied the SVM method to research on remotesensing multi-spectral classification using Landsat TM data. It selected the typical low-hill area as study site, which was located on the southern of the Yangze River, China. The land cover types were divided into six categories, which were the waterbody, the construction land, the paddy field, the woodland, the teagarden, and the bare land, etc. The classification of the study site using the Kohonen networks method was also given. The classification results show that classification accuracy of the SVM method is better than that of the Kohonen Networks method. Especially it could discriminate the woodlands from the mountainous shadow. In conclusion, the SVM method could gain higher classification accuracy using smaller training sample in low-hill area. It could also solve the confusion problems among the ground objects.
