The project incorporated in the TREES-3 i.e. projects that cultivate more than 12,000 Landsat TM satellite image data and ETM + systematically distributed to tropical areas.

The purpose:


On paper it shows about the stages of different pre-processing's aims to produce the multi-volume set temporal data with a consistent geometric and radiometric, thus obtained statistical data on changes in forests which do not berbias to generate a reliable classification.

 Characteristics Data

  1. Satellite imagery Data is 20 x 20 Km from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM +)
  2. The reference year 1990 (1984-1997) and 2000 (1997-2003)
  3. A source from the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) http://glovis.usgs.gov
  4. Resolution of 30 meters
  5. Additional image Data of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) is used to replace in case of incomplete data from Landsat.

    Pre-Processing

    1. Visual Assessment
    2. Radiometric Calibration
    3. Remove The Cloud Cover
    4. Remove Fog
    5. Normalization of color density forests

    Visual Assessment

    In order for multiple-date image data with greater precision to the actual position on the Earth, then the required adjustment in visual (spatial registration) with the other image that has possess precise geo-location.

    1. Image ofthe year 2000serve as themaster,
    2. Image of1990as a slave,
    3. Thendoa linearshift inX and Ysopixelnyafit/fit.
    4. Thenthe newimagedatataken20 x 20 kmoftheseadjustmentsresults.

     Radiometric Calibration

    Radiometric calibration is the first step to reducing the differences that emerged as a result of changes in the lighting conditions and the mistakes of the equipment.

    1. Convert raw digital numbers (DN) to the Sensor Spectral Radiance 
    2. Change the sensor radiance to the top-of-atmosphere reflectance 
      Calculate the distance the reflection of light from the Sun.
      Then for sensor Thermal (temperature) is used to measure brightness temperature (T) in kelvins.

    Remove The Cloud Cover

    To perform the removal of the cloud, to do two stages of the process, namely:
    1. Detect all of the potential of cloud and its shadow pixel with Automatic Spectral approach to Rule-Based Preliminary proposed by Baraldi et al. (2006). The method is a system of classification with decision rule which is designed to map the results of the Landsat data have been calibrated to some categories of spectral kernel.
    2. The process consists of two sequential application of post-processing algorithm based on morphology and topology method that will clear a cloud based on size, width and shape.

    Remove Fog

    To get rid of fog can be done as follows: TC4 method Lavreau method (1991), using The Fourth Component of tasseled cap transformation (TC4). This method uses a 6 band reflection of the Landsat satellite

    Normalization of color density forests

    Find the median value of the density of the forest with the following stages:
    1. Createamask (caps) forestfor everysatellite image of1990-2000)based ona comparison ofthe determination of the thresholdonNDVIand bands4 and 5does not includethe existingpixelclouds.
    2. To reducethe variedforestsform, then the result ofmaskingin 1990-2000-iriskan(intersected).
    3. In addition,generallymaskingforestdiintersectionagain witha map ofthe forest thatwas derived from theproceeds oflandsustainablevegetation(VCF)discovered byHansenet al. (2003).

     Output 


    • a. Beforeremoval ofthe fog
    • b. The resultofmaskingTasseledCapTransformation(TC4)
    • c. Afterthe process ofde-hazing

10 Jalur Kereta Api Di Dunia yang Menegangkan dan Menakutkan untuk Dilewati

By
Bila anda jalan-jalan ke suatu tempat yang menyeramkan dan berbahaya pasti anda akan merasa takut, tetapi bagaimana bila anda jalan-jalan menggunakan kereta api dan melewati jalur yang menegangkan serta menakutkan bagaimana rasanya? 10 Jalur Kereta Api yang Menegangkan dan Menakutkan di Dunia 1. Kuranda Scenic Railway (Australia) Scenic pada namanya yang berarti “pemandangan yang indah” tetapi juga mempunyai jalur yang memusingkan. Terukir di hutan hujan tropis yang lebat sejak akhir 1800-an, mempunyai rangka bawah yang mencengangkan, dan melewati air terjun yang terkadang butiran-butiran air nya muncrat kearah kereta. Jalur kereta ini melintasi Barron Gorge National Park. 2. Argo Gede Train Railway (Indonesia) Selama 3 jam perjalanan dari stasiun Gambir Jakarta menuju Bandung anda akan melewati gunung yang berwarna kehijauan yang sangat indah, melewati lembah sungai yang dalam, dan yang paling mencengangkan anda akan melewati jembatan Cikurutug yang ting...

An Supervised Artificial Neural Network Method for Sattelite Image Segmentation

By
Image segmentation   is   an important   step   in image processing   ( image processing).   The main purpose   of   segmentation   is   to   simplify   and   or   to   change the   representation   of   an   image   into a form that   is easier   to   analyze.   Already there are   several   methods of   image segmentation   are   found ,   but   most of   these methods are not   suitable   for   satellite imagery   and   -Method   method   requires   a   knowledge of   the initial   ( a priori   knowledge) .   To   overcome these problems ,   a   satellite   image segmentation   method   is developed   using   an   artificial neural network method   without   learning   ( unsupervised )   called ...

10 Minuman Tradisional Khas Indonesia

By
1. Cendol  Merupakan minuman khas Indonesia yang terbuat dari tepung beras, disajikan dengan es parut serta gula merah cair dan santan. Rasa minuman ini manis dan gurih. Di daerah Sunda minuman ini dikenal dengan nama cendol sedangkan di Jawa Tengah dikenal dengan nama es dawet. Berkembang kepercayaan populer dalam masyarakat Indonesia bahwa istilah “cendol” mungkin sekali berasal dari kata “jendol”, yang ditemukan dalam bahasa Sunda, Jawa dan Indonesia; hal ini merujuk sensasi jendolan yang dirasakan ketika butiran cendol melalui mulut kala tengah meminum es cendol. Tepung beras diolah dengan diberi pewarna berwarna hijau dan di cetak melalui saringan khusus, sehingga berbentuk buliran. Pewarna yang digunakan awalnya adalah pewarna alami dari daun pandan, namun saat ini telah digunakan pewarna makanan buatan. Di Sunda cendol dibuat dengan cara mengayak kukusan tepung beras yang diwarnai dengan daun suji dengan ayakan sehingga diperoleh bentuk bulat lonjong yang lancip di ...
