Landsat data are increasingly used for ecological monitoring and research. These data often
require preprocessing prior to analysis to account for sensor, solar, atmospheric, and …

Shadow is one of the major problems in remotely sensed imagery which hampers the
accuracy of information extraction and change detection. In these images, shadow is …

Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Third Edition, is a
definitive guide to remote sensing systems that focuses on satellite-based remote sensing …

Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images A thorough introduction to computer
processing of remotely-sensed images, processing methods, and applications Remote …

Different methods for topographic correction of Landsat Thematic Mapper images have been
assessed in the context of map** vegetation types. The best results were obtained with a …

Topographic correction based on sun-canopy-sensor (SCS) geometry is more appropriate
than terrain-based corrections in forested areas since SCS preserves the geotropic nature of …

Because trees are geotropic (perpendicular to the geoid), topography has no control over
the Sun–crown geometry. What topography does influence is the relative positioning of trees …

The accuracy of forest stand type maps derived from a Landsat Thematic Mapper (Landsat
TM) image of a heterogeneous forest covering rugged terrain is generally low. Therefore, the …

The recent free availability of Landsat historical data provides new potentials for land-cover
change studies. Multi-temporal studies require a previous radiometric and geometric …

A comparison of topographic correction methods is conducted for Landsat-5 TM, Landsat-7
ETM+, and SPOT-5 imagery from different geographic areas and seasons. Three successful …
