Proceedings Of The First International Workshop On The Analysis Of Multi Temporal Remote Sensing Images

The development of effective methodologies for the analysis of multi-temporal data is one of the most important and challenging issues that the remote sensing community will face in the next few years. The relevance and timeliness of this issue are directly related to the ever-increasing quantity of multi-temporal data provided by the numerous remote sensing satellites that orbit our planet. The synergistic use of multi-temporal remote sensing data and advanced analysis methodologies results in the possibility of solving complex problems related to the monitoring of the Earth's surface and atmosphere.This book brings together the methodological aspects of multi-temporal remote sensing image analysis, real applications and end-user requirements, presenting the state of the art in this field and contributing to the definition of common research priorities. Researchers and graduate students in the fields of remote sensing, image analysis, and environmental monitoring will appreciate the interdisciplinary approach thanks to the articles written by experts from different scientific communities.

Its importance and timeliness are directly related to the ever-increasing quantity of multi-temporal data provided by the numerous remote sensing satellites that orbit our planet. The synergistic use of multi-temporal remote sensing data and advanced analysis methodologies results in the possibility of solving complex problems related to the monitoring of the Earth's surface and atmosphere at different scales. However, the advances in the methodologies for the analysis of multi-temporal data have been significantly under-illuminated with respect to other remote sensing data analysis topics. In addition, the link between the end-users' needs and the scientific community needs to be strengthened. This volume of proceedings contains 43 contributions from researchers representing academia, industry and governmental organizations. It is organized into three thematic sections: Image Analysis and Algorithms; Analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar Data; Monitoring and Management of Resources. Contents:Image Analysis and Algorithms:Extending Time-Series of Satellite Images by Radiometric Intercalibration (A Röder et al.)Trajectory of Dynamic Clusters in Image Time Series (P Heas et al.)Change Detection with ALI and Landsat Satellite Data (H Chen et al.)Analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar Data:Multi-Temporal Interferometric Point Target Analysis (U Wegmüller et al.)Application of Multiple Baseline InSAR Data for DEM Generation (S Takeuchi)Joint Distributions for Multi-Temporal Series of Radar Images (B Storvik et al.)Monitoring and Management of Resources:Detection of Vegetation Changes in an Alpine Protected Area (M Maggi et al.)Monitoring Drought Stress in North-Eastern China by Means of Rainfall Data and Diachrone Indices Derived from Pathfinder AVHRR-Imagery (P Ozer et al.)Science for Society: Global Observations of Earth's Natural Resources in the 21st Century (R L King)and other papers Readership: Graduate students and researchers in computer science and environmental science.
