Remote sensing

Remote sensing is commonly used in a large area and can be utilized before we start digging in a given location. The two types of remote sensing are passive and active. Passive detects natural energy that is reflected from the sight. An example of passive remote sensing is satellite imagery. Two examples of active remote sensing are the LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and Laser Altimeters. LIDAR’s are able to…

The objective of this five-year mission is to provide radar remote sensing data to scientific and commercial users. The satellite’s design is based on the technology and expertise developed in the X-SAR and SRTM SAR missions (Synthetic Aperture Radar). The sensor has a number of different modes of operation, with a maximum…

that could be useful for cartographers (“Cartographers and Photogrammetrists”). A cartographer may also have an option to become certified in GIS/Land Information systems and remote sensing designations (“How to Become a Cartographer in 5 Steps”). Both of which is part of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing and both requires a total of six years’ experience and a qualifying exam (“How to Become a Cartographer in 5 Steps”). The military side is basically classroom…

Due to the increase in demand for renewable energy a surge in large dam projects for hydropower generation is expected. Because hydropower is one of the most economic energy sources and is renewable along with other benefits such as irrigation, flood mitigation, navigation and water supply. In case of construction of large dams changes in terrestrial ecosystems can alter the climate, soils, vegetation, water resources and bio diversity. Therefore it is essential to understand the environmental…

be deliberate, counting nature, textural, spectral as well as fitting data to enhance characterization rate. SVM (Support vector machine) has been proven like a capable pattern classification path, also has lately been efficiently used in the remote sensing area. SVM utilizes a portion capacity delineate low-dimensional information highlights interested in a high measurement, for polynomial kernels, radial basis function kernels (RBF) and linear kernels. While SVM is used, choosing an…

Remote sensing, aerial photography (Wear & Bolstad., 1998) and surveys are commonly used for obtaining vast amounts of data in computer format, and this can be seen as one of the benefits of GIS (Maguire., 1991). GIS has the ability to take these sources of data and manipulate it to become vital information. Also, the advantages of using remote sensing as a data source can depict the changes of land use by observing the current and archived remote sensed data (Mustafa et al…

The Huygens probe was engineered to fulfill all objectives regarding Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. The probe was made to withstand landing and collect as much information as possible. The design enabled the probe to brake while descending into Titan’s atmosphere followed by parachuting the remaining spacecraft equipped with instruments to the moon’s surface. Engineers were uncertain where the landing site would be and enabled the probe with different features making it capable of landing on…

Date: October 18, 2015 To: W. Peters From: N. Duncan Subject: Game Controller Adaptations Deliverable #2 Project 2 Problem Statement Veterans and many other people with disabilities use video games as a form of therapy and sometimes for recreation. There are a number of different limitations that veterans or disabled people can have when trying to play video games. In some cases, people are not fully able to play video games that involve either motion tracking or pushing buttons due to the…

accommodated by crowding of existing houses rather than new construction developments. Existing houses are often extended or divided illegally so that they can be rented to migrants and used by extended families (Genemo, 2012). Over the years, urban sprawl has directly contributed to the degradation and decline of natural environment resources. It also reduces farm land and productivity in city leading to social loss and open spaces (Haregewin, 2005). In addition, urban sprawl leads to regional…
