Pre-processing of a sample of multi-scene and multi-date Landsat imagery used to monitor forest cover changes over the tropics

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

Indra, Radar Made in Indonesia

By
Wants to prove that Indonesia is not inferior to other nations, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Center Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI PPET) and a division of PT Solutions 247 Radar and Communications System (RCS) makes maritime radar. Since 2006, PPET LIPI has developed two versions of the radar. Namely radar coastal surveillance and navigation radar ship. In its development, the maritime radar to be named while Indonesian Radar (Indra). To distinguish, ship navigation radar developed by PT Solutions 247-RCS named Indra-1 and a coastal surveillance radar developed by PPET-LIPI named Indra-2. Both of these radar technology frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) so that the power consumption and size is much smaller than the radar radars in the market. Indra-1 managed to detect and measure the distance of a ship that was sailing with accuracy. We are proud of this result. This is proof that we can make the radar is built and functioning properly. Having escape...

Why Programmers Should Wear Framework (CodeIgniter or Yii)

By
The framework can be interpreted simply as a library containing a collection of functions / procedures and classes for specific purposes that are ready to be used so that it can facilitate and accelerate the work of a programmer, without having to create a function or class from the start. Advantages of using the framework are: provide a good structure in our program. Sometimes as programmers, we can create our program structure. the framework, we can make the program more structured, easy to manage, easy to develop. well for those that have been used to make the program itself, usually on their own to create a framework in the program can easily develop, that could be a problem is the use of this framework is the subjective easily according to our perspective. with a framework that is used by many people, it will provide the structure and way of working standards for our applications. The more people who use it, it means a lot of people who agree with the way the framework w...
