Automatic Extraction of Man-made Objects from Aerial and Satellite Images III
This work is a collection of papers from the world's leading research groups in the field of automatic extraction of objects, especially buildings and roads, from aerial and space imagery, including new sensors like SAR and lidar.
Advances in Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences: 2008 ISPRS Congress Book
Published on the occasion of the XXIst Congress of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) in Beiijng, China in 2008, Advances in Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences: 2008 ISPRS Congress Book is a compilation of 34 contributions from 62 researchers active within the ISPRS. The book covers
Photogrammetric Image Analysis
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the ISPRS Conference on Photogrammetric Image Analysis, held in Munich, Germany, in October 2011. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on orientation, matching, object detection, 3D reconstruction and DEM, classification, people and tracking, as well as image processing.
Remotely-Sensed Cities
New urban applications are emerging for remote sensing, in particular with the use of high-resolution data for measuring, monitoring and analysis. This comes through the use of high spatial resolution imaging, such as for precision mapping of cities; new techniques for population mapping; extracting urban land use features, and evaluating the city energy patterns; and through the use of night-time imagery for determining populations and economic activity, particularly on a global scale. Remotely Sensed Cities helps to redress the balance with remote sensing books, most of which are dedicated to the physical environment. It is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, along with research scientists and brings together a good deal of topical work applying remote sensing to the understanding of urban features, their behavior and growth.
Super-Resolution for Remote Sensing Applications Using Deep Learning Techniques
Satellite image processing is crucial in detecting vegetation, clouds, and other atmospheric applications. Due to sensor limitations and pre-processing, remotely sensed satellite images may have interpretability concerns as to specific portions of the image, making it hard to recognise patterns or objects and posing the risk of losing minute details in the image. Existing imaging processors and optical components are expensive to counterfeit, have interpretability issues, and are not necessarily viable in real applications. This book exploits the usage of deep learning (DL) components in feature extraction to boost the minute details of images and their classification implications to tackle such problems. It shows the importance of super-resolution in improving the spatial details of images and aiding digital aerial photography in pan-sharpening, detecting signatures correctly, and making precise decisions with decision-making tools.
'Archaeologizing' Heritage?
This book investigates what has constituted notions of "archaeological heritage" from colonial times to the present. It includes case studies of sites in South and Southeast Asia with a special focus on Angkor, Cambodia. The contributions, the subjects of which range from architectural and intellectual history to historic preservation and restoration, evaluate historical processes spanning two centuries which saw the imagination and production of "dead archaeological ruins" by often overlooking living local, social, and ritual forms of usage on site. Case studies from computational modelling in archaeology discuss a comparable paradigmatic change from a mere simulation of supposedly dead archaeological building material to an increasing appreciation and scientific incorporation of the knowledge of local stakeholders. This book seeks to bring these different approaches from the humanities and engineering sciences into a trans-disciplinary discussion.
Recent Advances in Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Processing for Land Degradation Assessment
Land degradation and desertification are amongst the most severe threats to human welfare and the environment, as they affect the livelihoods of some 2 billion people in the worlds drylands, and they are directly connected to pressing global environmental problems, such as the loss of biological diversity or global climate change. Strategies to co
Recording, Documentation and Information Management for the Conservation of Heritage Places
This two volume guide provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and guidelines for documenting cultural heritage places. It seeks to aid heritage managers and decision makers in understanding their roles and responsibilities inn this essential activity. Volume 1 (Guiding Principles) explains why heritage managers must make sure that heritage information fully integrated into all research, investigation and conservation activities. Through the discussion of basic principles, benefits and new approaches, it assists those in charge of preserving immovable cultural heritage by bringing current heritage information practices to a new level. By recording we create a reference...
Capturing the Senses
This open-access book surveys how digital technology can contribute effectively to improving our understanding of the past, through a sensory engagement based on the evidence of material culture. In particular, it encourages specialists to consider senses and human agency as important factors in studying ancient space, while recognising the role played by digital tools in enhancing a human-centred form of analysis. Significant advances in archaeological computing, digital methods, and sensory approaches have led archaeologists to rethink strategies and methods for creating narratives of the past. Recent progress in data visualisation and implementation, as well as other nascent digital senso...
