Damage Assessment using High Resolution Satellite Imagery: Application to 2001

by L. Chiroiu, G. André - Proceedings of the 7th National US Conference on Earthquake Engineering , 2001
"... Various studies were carried out in the last years with the purpose of assessing natural hazard damages using remote sensing and photo interpretation techniques. Most of them analyze the case of floods or landslides, where damages could be estimated. For the seismic events, the first studies were ca ..."

The recent progresses of remote sensing in terms of spatial resolution and data processing open new possibilities concerning the natural hazard assessment. Using a high resolution

Texture-based segmentation of highresolution remotely sensed imagery for identification of fuzzy objects

by Arko Lucieer, Peter Fisher, Alfred Stein - In Proceedings of GeoComputation 2003 conference , 2003
"... In this study, we discuss a supervised texture-based image segmentation algorithm. We apply this algorithm to airborne high-resolution elevation (LiDAR) and multi-spectral imagery (CASI) of a coastal area on the northwest coast of England. Texture is modelled with the joint distribution of the Local ..."

VERY HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION IMAGE SEGMENTATION BASED ON THE MULTIFRACTAL ANALYSIS

by M. Voorons A, Y. Voirin A, G. B. Bénié A, K. Fung B
"... The availability of very high spatial resolution images in remote sensing brings the texture segmentation of images to a higher level of complexity. Such images have so many details that the classical segmentation algorithms fail to achieve good results. In the case of IKONOS images of forest areas, ..."

Increasing classification accuracy of coastal habitats using integrated airborne remote sensing. EARSeL eProceedings

by Kyle Brown , 2004
"... The 1992 European Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) requires reporting of the status of a variety of habitats on a six-year cycle. One potential method of carrying out this monitoring is to use remote sensing. Improvements in remote sensing techniques would allow more accurate monitoring to be carried ..."
