Fire has a diverse range of impacts on Earth's physical and social systems. Accurate and up
to date information on areas affected by fire is critical to better understand drivers of fire …

Land use/land cover (LULC) is a fundamental concept of the Earth's system intimately
connected to many phases of the human and physical environment. Earth observation (EO) …

Satellite remote sensing, with its unique synoptic coverage capabilities, can provide
accurate and immediately valuable information on fire analysis and post-fire assessment …

It is well known that the content of water does affect materials behaviour and may cause
important damages to buildings, including structural deterioration. Thermography is a non …

Multivariate statistical techniques, including cluster analysis (CA), discriminant analysis
(DA), principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis (FA), were used to evaluate …

This study aimed to map water features using a Landsat image rather than traditional land
cover. We involved the original bands, spectral indices and principal components (PCs) of a …

West African savannas are subject to regular fires, which have impacts on vegetation
structure, biodiversity and carbon balance. An efficient and accurate map** of burned …

This paper describes the first part of a series of investigations to develop algorithms for
simultaneous retrieval of aerosol parameters and surface reflectance from a newly …

The aim of our study was to explore the spectral properties of fire-scorched (burned) and
non fire-scorched (vegetation) areas, as well as areas with different burn/vegetation ratios …

Principal component transformation is a standard technique for multi-dimensional data
analysis. The purpose of the present article is to elucidate the procedure for interpreting PC …
