The latest in the series of Landsat satellites the LDCM, Landsat Data Continuity Mission was launched today from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This satellite continues the four decades old legacy of the Earth Observation from space. The first Landsat satellite launched in 1972. The joint program between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey… Continue reading Landsat Data Continuity Mission Launched !
Introduction As per the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (1987), photogrammetry is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment by recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images. The word photogrammetry is derived from three Greek words: photos – meaning "light", gramma– meaning "drawing" and… Continue reading Concepts of Photogrammetry

Introduction Precision forestry is a method in which the characteristics of forests, treatments, biodiversity preservation, and recreational opportunities can be accurately determined, at the forest stand, plot, or individual tree level. Precision forestry requires a plethora of information and data which needs to be accurate, spatially detailed, up to date, and must characterize the… Continue reading Precision Forestry : A Revolution through Remote Sensing Technology
Precision agriculture integrates new innovative technologies with a fully grown agricultural industry. Several farm tasks have now become automated as GPS, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and robotics technologies advance. GIS is an essential component of automated field operations, also renowned as precision agriculture or satellite farming. Precision farming helps to improve the use of soil… Continue reading GIS-Based Precision Agriculture and Smart Farming
Agricultural insect pests cause crop yield loss which results in an imbalance between the food demand of the world population and the global agriculture output. Pest control can be more efficient if it becomes possible to identify the current status of the pest timely and take action immediately. In this regard, the application of the… Continue reading Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Pest Control Mapping Using GIS
Barely half an hour after a major earthquake on 23rd September, people of the Pakistani coastal town of Gwadar had another jolt when they saw a new island emerge in the sea, just over a kilometre from the shore. This island is made of sea mud. The mud island was created due to decompression of… Continue reading Pléiades Measures Earthquake born Island in Pakistan
Pléiades and SPOT 6/7 commercial offers have been enhanced with advanced radiometry and geometry image processing options: New Geometric processing: Projected The image acquired by the sensor is projected onto a terrestrial planethrough projection system. The plane inherits a constant altitude value which is the mean height value (with reference to ellipsoid). An embedded geometric… Continue reading Pléiades and SPOT 6/7 Enhanced with Advanced Radiometry and Geometry Image processing Options
