Protocols for UAS-based observation

2023

In Chapter 1 the terms and the characteristics of an unmanned spatial data collection system were defined along with the fields of application, advantages, and disadvantages of different solutions and sensors. This chapter will present an overview of existing protocols and broad guidelines on environmental unmanned aerial system (UAS)-based monitoring, including study design with the general and possible use of the platform and sensor/camera settings, comprising quality assurance (QA) with all necessary steps (i.e., georeferencing, radiometric calibration for optical and thermal sensors, programming the flight mission, and data processing) to fulfill a complete survey mission for a given en…

RFI: a case study of the University of Palermo

2010

The work shows the results of testing conducted from last years with the GNNS CORS of University of Palermo, in term of radio frequency interference, by a team composed of researchers of Dipartimento di Rappresentazione (DIRAP), Faculty of Engineering of Palermo and to the Laboratory of Physics of the Agenzia Regionale per la Protezione dell’Ambiente (ARPA) of the Sicilian Region. The CORS is first installed inside a scientific network with 9 permanent station located in western Sicily with distance between 22 and 80 kilometres and carry out for real time positioning experience. The main goal of the work is to verify the radio frequency interference which has been subjected CORS in last yea…

RFI: il caso studio della stazione GNSS dell’Università di Palermo

2009

La sperimentazione descritta in questo lavoro riguarda la prima parte di una ricerca, tuttora in corso, che vede coinvolti l’Agenzia Regionale Protezione Ambiente Sicilia (ARPA) e il Dipartimento di Rappresentazione dell’Università di Palermo (DIRAP), avente come tema le problematiche relative alle interferenze da radio frequenza registrate dalla stazione permanente GNSS dell’Università di Palermo. La stazione è stata materializzata nel 2006 e dal 2007 fa parte della rete di stazioni permanenti GNSS-NRTK gestita dal DIRAP, per attività di studio di ricerca. In particolare, in questo lavoro sono illustrati i test che sono stati condotti e i risultati in termini di interferenza elettomagnetic…

Performance assessment of PPP surveys with open source software using the GNSS GPS-GLONASS-Galileo constellations

2020

In this work, the performance of the multi-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique, in static mode, is analyzed. Specifically, GPS (Global Positioning System), GLONASS, and Galileo systems are considered, and quantifying the Galileo contribution is one of the main objectives. The open source software RTKLib is adopted to process the data, with precise satellite orbits and clocks from CNES (Centre National d&rsquo

On the Choice of the Most Suitable Period to Map Hill Lakes via Spectral Separability and Object-Based Image Analyses

2023

Technological advances in Earth observation made images characterized by high spatial and temporal resolutions available, nevertheless bringing with them the radiometric heterogeneity of small geographical entities, often also changing in time. Among small geographical entities, hill lakes exhibit a widespread distribution, and their census is sometimes partial or shows unreliable data. High resolution and heterogeneity have boosted the development of geographic object-based image analysis algorithms. This research analyzes which is the most suitable period for acquiring satellite images to identify and delimitate hill lakes. This is achieved by analyzing the spectral separability of the su…

Digital orthophotos at a scale of 1:5000 from high resolution satellite images

2004

This paper describes the first results of a study, carried out within the national research program “Cofin2001”, on the potential use of high resolution satellite images for making digital orthophotos at a scale of 1:5000 and 1:10,000. Particularly, images from IKONOS II and QuickBird of four different types of areas were employed: the first area is the city of Palermo, a greatly urbanized area; the second area is the extra-urban territory near the town of Contessa Entellina in south-western Sicily; the third area is the famous tourist resort of Scopello, in the western Sicily; the last area is the Caselle Airport, a flat zone near Torino. The first three images were orthorectified by using…

Remote Sensing applications in archaeology

2011

In recent years Remote Sensing applications in archaeology have become increasingly frequent. This plurality of applications depends mostly on the rising interest of the scientific community in modern methods for surveying geographic data, which have become increasingly powerful, automatic and reliable. Remote Sensing, with its various techniques, offers the rapid acquisition of a huge quantity of metric and qualitative data in order to describe or to identify archaeological sites. For an appropriate and widespread use of these data, it is still necessary to have recourse to GIS techniques; as a matter of fact, only the combined use of both methodologies provides a full exploitation of thei…

SPIE Proceedings Vol. 8538 Earth Resources and Environmental Remote Sensing/GIS Applications III

2012

These proceedings contain 53 papers that were presented at the SPIE Conference “Earth Resources and Environmental Remote Sensing/GIS Applications” (Conference 8538A) formerly known under the title ‘Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring, GIS Applications, and Geology’. The Conference took place in Edinburgh, United Kingdom from 24 September to 27 September 2012. It was the twelfth Conference with this topic after its inauguration in Toulouse, France, in 2001. The Conference sessions with presented papers and interactive posters were grouped into the following themes: Processing Methodologies, Hazard Mitigation Geologic Application, Processing Methodologies, Infrastructures and Urban Ar…
