In the last few years the scientific community has realized that obtaining a better
understanding of interactions between natural systems and the man-made environment …

Land-cover change, a major driver of the distribution and functioning of ecosystems, is
characterized by a high diversity of patterns of change across space and time. Thus, a large …

Modelling land cover change from existing land cover maps is a vital requirement for anyone
wishing to understand how the landscape may change in the future. In order to test any land …

Monitoring water quality on a near-real-time basis to address water resource management
and public health concerns in coupled natural systems and the built environment is by no …

The aim of this paper is to show some recent developments of computational Gestalt theory,
as pioneered by Desolneux, Moisan and Morel. The new results allow to predict much more …

Global land cover mapping activities are of great important for retrieving the environment we
are living in. However, the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution makes it difficult …

Agricultural production is part of a long chain of activities that starts from seeding (or even
earlier) and stretches all the way to the consumer. It should meet consumer expectations in …

Land cover classification using remotely sensed data is a critical first step in large-scale
environmental monitoring, resource management and regional planning. The classification …

Remote sensing can be used to rapidly generate land use maps for assisting emergency
response personnel with resource deployment decisions and impact assessments. In this …

Precision agriculture addresses the variability in crop growth and its underlying causes to
achieve the optimal plant behavior or yield (quantity as well as quality). The physiological …
