Cloud/shadow segmentation based on global attention feature fusion residual network for remote sensing imagery
TL;DR: In this paper, cloud and cloud shadow segmentation of satellite imageries is a prerequisite for many remote sensing applications, due to the limited number of available spectral bands and the complexity of backgr...

Predicting habitat quality of protected dry grasslands using Landsat NDVI phenology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to predict habitat quality of protected dry grasslands in Switzerland and found that NDVI metrics were highly informative for the habitat qualities of abandoned sites, but grazing and mowing reduced or even cancelled their predictive power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest cover mapping in post-Soviet Central Asia using multi-resolution remote sensing imagery.
TL;DR: Multi-resolution imagery contributes to regionalized assessment of forest cover in the world’s drylands while developed CAFC maps aim to facilitate decisions on biodiversity conservation and reforestation programs in Central Asia.

Quantifying annual changes in built-up area in complex urban-rural landscapes from analyses of PALSAR and Landsat images.
Yuanwei Qin,Xiangming Xiao,Xiangming Xiao,Jinwei Dong,Bangqian Chen,Bangqian Chen,Fang Liu,Geli Zhang,Yao Zhang,Jie Wang,Xiaocui Wu +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pixel-and rule-based decision tree approach was proposed to identify and map built-up area at 30-m resolution from 2007 to 2010, using PALSAR HH gamma-naught and Landsat annual maximum Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVImax).

Impact of time on interpretations of forest fragmentation: Three-decades of fragmentation dynamics over Canada
Txomin Hermosilla,Michael A. Wulder,Joanne C. White,Nicholas C. Coops,Paul D. Pickell,Douglas K. Bolton +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the multi-temporal characterization of forest fragmentation across the forested ecosystems of Canada and characterize the past three decades of forest fragmented, providing useful context against which future analyses can be compared.

A Landsat surface reflectance dataset for North America, 1990-2000
Jeffrey G. Masek,Eric Vermote,Nazmi Saleous,Robert E. Wolfe,Forrest G. Hall,Karl F. Huemmrich,Feng Gao,J. Kutler,Teng-Kui Lim +8 more
TL;DR: Initial comparisons with ground-based optical thickness measurements and simultaneously acquired MODIS imagery indicate comparable uncertainty in Landsat surface reflectance compared to the standard MODIS reflectance product.

Discriminating clear sky from clouds with MODIS
Steven A. Ackerman,Kathleen I. Strabala,W. Paul Menzel,Richard A. Frey,Christopher C. Moeller,Liam E. Gumley +5 more
TL;DR: The MODIS cloud mask algorithm as discussed by the authors uses several cloud detection tests to indicate a level of confidence that the MEDIS is observing clear skies, which is ancillary input to MEDIS land, ocean, and atmosphere science algorithms to suggest processing options.

Calculation of radiative fluxes from the surface to top of atmosphere based on ISCCP and other global data sets: Refinements of the radiative transfer model and the input data
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used a more advanced NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) radiative transfer model and improved ISCCP cloud climatology and ancillary data sets.

Spectral signature of alpine snow cover from the Landsat Thematic Mapper.
Jeff Dozier,Jeff Dozier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral signatures of the Landsat TM images of the Sierra Nevada were analyzed to distinguish several classes of snow from other surface covers, and a number of TM images were used for automatic analysis of alpine snow cover.
