Modelling spatial and spectral systematic noise patterns on CHRIS/PROBA hyperspectral data
2006
In addition to typical random noise, remote sensing hyperspectral images are generally affected by non-periodic partially deterministic disturbance patterns due to the image formation process and characterized by a high degree of spatial and spectral coherence. This paper presents a new technique that faces the problem of removing the spatial coherent noise known as vertical stripping (VS) usually found in images acquired by push-broom sensors, in particular for the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS). The correction is based on the hypothesis that the vertical disturbance presents higher spatial frequencies than the surface radiance. The proposed method introduces a way to…
Introduction to the Issue on Advances in Remote Sensing Image Processing
2011
The papers in this special issue span a wide range of problems arising in modern remote sensing data analysis and provide a snapshot in the state-of-the-art of remote sensing image processing. More advances are expected in the near future, mainly due to the increasing user demands in terms of spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions of data, and of products generated from these data by automatic processing techniques.
Multi-resolution spatial unmixing for MERIS and Landsat image fusion
2016
Nowadays, the increasing quantity of applications using images from Earth Observation satellites makes demanding better spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. Nevertheless, due to the technical constraint of a trade off between spatial and spectral resolutions, and between spatial resolution and coverage, high spatial resolution is related with low spectral and temporal resolutions and vice versa. Data fusion methods are a good solution to combine information from multiple sensors in order to obtain image products with better characteristics. In this paper, we propose an image fusion approach based on a multi-resolution and multi-source unmixing. The proposed methodology yields a compo…
An interpolation-based data fusion scheme for enhancing the resolution of thermal image sequences
2014
In several human activities, such as agriculture and forest management, the monitoring of radiometric surface temperature is key. In particular both high spatial resolution and high acquisition rate are desirable but, due to the hardware limitations, these two characteristics are not met by the same sensor. The fusion of remotely sensed data acquired by sensors with different spatial and temporal resolution is a profitable choice to face this issue. When the real-time requirement is relaxed, the data sequence can be processed as a whole, allowing to improve the final result. Within this framework, we propose a novel batch sharpening strategy, relying on interpolation, data fusion and Bayesi…
Regularized multiresolution spatial unmixing for ENVISAT/MERIS and landsat/TM image fusion
2011
Earth observation satellites currently provide a large volume of images at different scales. Most of these satellites provide global coverage with a revisit time that usually depends on the instrument characteristics and performance. Typically, medium-spatial-resolution instruments provide better spectral and temporal resolutions than mapping-oriented high-spatial-resolution multispectral sensors. However, in order to monitor a given area of interest, users demand images with the best resolution available, which cannot be reached using a single sensor. In this context, image fusion may be effective to merge information from different data sources. In this letter, an image fusion approach ba…
Improved multi-resolution image fusion
2005
This work describes an automatic technique able to fuse different images of the same scene, acquired at different settings, in order to obtain an enhanced single representation of the scene of interest by an improved picture fusion scheme. This allows the extending of the functionalities (depth of field, dynamic range) of medium and low cost digital cameras. When multi-scale decomposition is used on multi-focused images, magnification effects of the lens focusing system cause an incorrect estimation of all pixels in the final image. In our approach new techniques able to reduce these artifacts are introduced. The algorithm has been applied both on full RGB and on color filter array (CFA) im…

Captura y procesado de imágenes de alta resolución mediante sistemas de microscopía integral
2017
El desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías de adquisición de imágenes 3D ha experimentado un avance significativo en los últimos años. Una de las técnicas capaces de preservar la información espacio-angular de objetos extensos es la conocida como Imagen Integral. Desde su invención a principios del siglo XX, los sistemas de captura de imagen integral han sido objeto de numerosos estudios, siendo sus aplicaciones muy diversas. Una de las aplicaciones que más interés ha despertado entre los investigadores es la posibilidad de llevar a cabo una reconstrucción en profundidad del objeto, a partir de la información 3D registrada tras una única captura. En la última década, ha tenido lugar un creciente i…
An assessment of the differences between spatial resolution and grid size for the SMAP enhanced soil moisture product over homogeneous sites
2018
Abstract Satellite-based passive microwave remote sensing typically involves a scanning antenna that makes measurements at irregularly spaced locations. These locations can change on a day to day basis. Soil moisture products derived from satellite-based passive microwave remote sensing are usually resampled to a fixed Earth grid that facilitates their use in applications. In many cases the grid size is finer than the actual spatial resolution of the observation, and often this difference is not well understood by the user. Here, this issue was examined for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) enhanced version of the passive-based soil moisture product, which has a grid size of 9-km and …
Preliminary assessment of an integrated SMOS and MODIS application for global agricultural drought monitoring
2020
An application of the Soil Moisture Agricultural Drought Index (SMADI) for global agricultural drought monitoring is presented. The index integrates surface soil moisture from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and allows for global drought monitoring at medium spatial scales (0.05°). Biweekly maps of SMADI were obtained from year 2010 to 2015 over all agricultural areas on Earth. The SMADI time-series were compared with state-of-the-art drought indices over the Iberian Peninsula. Results show a good agreement between SMADI and the …
