Generation and validation of DEM using SAR interferometry and differential GPS supported by multispectral optical data

Digital elevation model (DEM) and the derived terrain parameters e.g. contour, slope, aspect, drainage pattern, etc are required for natural resources management, infrastructure planning and disaster management. The present paper aims at generating DEM from ERS tandem pair using interferometric technique supported by differential GPS measurements (DGPS) and multispectral optical data. Validation of DEM has been carried out by DGPS measurements. Ground Control Points (GCP) established by DGPS measurements have been used to georeference the IRS-1D optical data that has finally been co-registered with SAR amplitude image. Optical data, co-registered with ERS - I SAR data has helped in locating the GCP’s and check points, precisely, for refinement of DEM and its validation.     

基于SIFT算法和马氏距离的无人机遥感图像配准

提出了一种基于SIUF和马氏距离的无人机遥感图像配准方法.该方法首先使用SIUF算法进行特征点的查找和匹配.由于SIFT算法只考虑点的局部特征信息,没有处理匹配后特征点对的几何分布信息.为了提高特征点对的精度,本文使用马氏距离对SIFT算法得到的结果进行再处理得到新的特征点对.最后,利用新的特征点对进行图像配准.较之以往,该方法可以得到更多的、正确的匹配点对.数值试验证明了该方法的有效性和鲁棒性.

An image engineering system for the inspection of transparent construction materials

This article presents a modular photogrammetric recording and image analysis system for inspecting the material characteristics of transparent foils, in particular Ethylen–TetraFluorEthylen-Copolymer (ETFE) foils. The foils are put under increasing air pressure and are observed by a stereo camera system. Determining the time-variable 3D shape of transparent material imposes a number of challenges: especially the automatic point transfer between stereo images and, in temporal domain, from one image pair to the next. We developed an automatic approach that accommodates for these particular circumstances and allows reconstruction of the 3D shape for each epoch as well as determining 3D translation vectors between epochs by feature tracking. Examples including numerical results and accuracy measures prove the applicability of the system.     

Integrated approach for demarcating the fracture zone for well site location : A case study near Gumla and Lohardaga,Bihar

In recent years satellite remote sensing techniques have greatly aided identification of fractures/joints/faults in connection with groundwater exploration. However, due to some constraints in filtering out the type of fracture i.e. shear fracture, tensional fracture, mineralised fracture etc. as to their “open or closed” nature from groundwater aspects, there is need of adding geophysical survey, particularly resistivity survey to further enhance the accuracy, and hence minimise drilling failures. The area under study is a part of Ranchi plateau and lithologically comprising of granite-gneiss. The present paper lays stress on an integrated approach for localising well sites through satellite data analysis and resistivity profiling along with vertical electrical sounding which is based on fracture patterns. With this combined effort i.e. firstly considering the surfacial features like drainage, geomorpho-logy, lithology and lineaments, and secondly taking into account geophysical survey aspects, i.e. depth and thickness of fracture zone, lateral extent, different layer parameter, etc., fairly accurate results are achieved. In the presnt study this type of an integrated survey has been carried out in Lohardaga and Gumla districts in Bihar, the results of which are highlighted in the paper.     

Consideration of time-correlated errors in a Kalman filter applicable to GNSS

An algorithm for considering time-correlated errors in a Kalman filter is presented. The algorithm differs from previous implementations in that it does not suffer from numerical problems; does not contain inherent time latency or require reinterpretation of Kalman filter parameters, and gives full consideration to additive white noise that is often still present but ignored in previous implementations. Simulation results indicate that the application of the new algorithm yields more realistic and therefore useful state and covariance information than the standard implementation. Results from a field test of the algorithm applied to the problem of kinematic differential GPS demonstrate that the algorithm provides slightly pessimistic covariance estimates whereas the standard Kalman filter provides optimistic covariance estimates.     

Land damage assessment - a case study

The paper discusses the land damage assessment and change detection analysis with reference to a mineral bearing zone in Manjhi, Manuni and Churan valleys. The area is located in environmentally sensitive and fragile region of Himalaya and constitutes of nearly 400 small-scale mines of slate, which were operative since last one hundred years and are stopped by court of law since 1995 on account of environment deterioration. The status of land degradation has been studied using IRS-1B satellite data of 1988,1992 and 1995. The geo-coded data on 1:50,000 scale has been interpreted and an increase in land degradation status was noticed. Finally, the management strategy for arresting the further land damage in a broader perspective is suggested.
