  2. 21. Multitemporal Spaceborne Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Mapping

    Author : Xin Niu; Yifang Ban; Laurent Ferro-Famil; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; RADARSAT-2; Spaceborne; Polarimetric SAR; Urban Land cover; Object-based Rule-based Classification; Support Vector Machines; Contextual; Stochastic Expectation-Maximization; Markov Random Field.;

    Abstract : Urban land cover mapping represents one of the most important remote sensing applications in the context of rapid global urbanization. In recent years, high resolution spaceborne Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) has been increasingly used for urban land cover/land-use mapping, since more information could be obtained in multiple polarizations and the collection of such data is less influenced by solar illumination and weather conditions.

  4. 22. Dosimetry of Local Radio Frequency Exposure

    Author : Rudolf Kopecky; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; subgridding; FDTD; rats; head; SAR; dosimetry; inner ear labyrinth; mobile phone;

    Abstract : Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) is a popularcomputational electrodynamics modelling technique. It has been widelyused, from radar cross section computations through electromagneticcompatibility investigations to modelling of electromagnetic exposurein biological tissues. READ MORE

  5. 23. Radar Remote Sensing of Forests Using CARABAS and ERS

    Author : Gary Smith Jonforsen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; clear-cut; stem volume; ERS; forest; interferometry; remote sensing; SAR; biomass; CARABAS;

    Abstract : Forests cover more than 30% of the Earth's land surface, and represent an important resource. In order to manage this resource effectively, accurate and up-to-date information is required on the extent and state of the forests. Radar remote sensing offers the possibility of providing some of this information. READ MORE

  6. 24. Remote sensing of supra-glacial lakes on the west Greenland Ice Sheet

    Author : A. Malin Johansson; Ian A. Brown; Peter Jansson; Johan Kleman; Andreas Ahlstrøm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Supra-glacial lakes; Greenland Ice Sheet; Ice melting; Remote sensing; SAR; MODIS; Time-series analysis; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest ice sheet in the northern hemisphere. Ongoing melting of the ice sheet, resulting in increased mass loss relative to the longer term trend, has raised concerns about the stability of the ice sheet. Melt water generated at the surface is temporarily stored in supra-glacial lakes on the ice sheet. READ MORE

  7. 25. Factorized Geometrical Autofocus for Synthetic Aperture Radar Processing

    Author : Jan Torgrimsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Back-Projection; PGA; SAR; UWB; Autofocus; FGA;

    Abstract : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is a very useful resource for the civilian remote sensingcommunity and for the military. This however presumes that images are focused. There are severalpossible sources for defocusing effects. For airborne SAR, motion measurement errors is the maincause. READ MORE
