With ever growing population and shrinkage of agricultural land, food security is an extremely important research topic. Besides human activates, natural disasters such as flood, drought also play adverse effect on food productivity. Understanding impact of these disaster on crop yield and making early estimation could help planning for any global food crisis. Among various available crop yield estimation...
Climate change has become a hot topic in recent years. Flood is one of the most common natural hazards caused from extreme climate change. Scientists have spent a lot of money and time on monitoring flood in past decades. The development of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) brings new ways for scientists to analyze, monitor, and predict floods. Remote Sensing provides an alternative...
The Remote Sensing Flood Crop Loss Assessment (RF-CLASS) is a system of geospatial Web services that provide comprehensive services to decision makers in assessing flood-induced crop loss. It serves a series of vector-based geospatial data. Traditionally, these data are visualized on the Web through a open Web Map Service (WMS) while the geospatial data are kept in either a geo-database or a vector-feature...
Agricultural drought greatly impacts the crop yield. Monitoring agricultural drought can deliver critical information to farmers on when, where and how much to irrigate. However, precisely monitoring which requires many kinds of data sources and data fusion and mining is still a huge challenge for scientists. In recent years, many data sources like remote sensed hyperspectral images are released online...
Agriculture is one of the most affected sectors by the flood. Spaceborn remote sensing is widely used for flood mapping and monitoring in recent decades. Some applications such as flood crop loss assessment require data with fine temporal resolution to monitor short-lived flood. MODIS is providing remote sensing data with 1–2 days temporal resolution which has frequently been used for flood mapping...
The Pub/Sub, short for Publish-Subscribe, is a flexible mechanism perferred by many users who'd like to passively know the changes of situation. Once a new message is published by a provider, all the subscribers to the specific kind of messages will receive the message and make corresponding responses. In agricultural crop monitoring, such mechanism is very helpful in enhancing the efficiency of message...
The timely retrieval of remote sensing imagery by farmers and decision makers is very important for current agricultural activities. Through the various kinds of imageries of agricultural fields, people can conclude the status of the fields and figure out what kind of crops are suitable and how to cultivate and irrigate the fields. This paper demonstrates how to take advantage of open web service...
Flood is defined as water that temporarily submerges land. In the United States, flood is being considered as an event only if it last over 72 hours, but the time frame is much longer in the Europe. The information of water bodies is an important source when examining floods. However, this data is not always available or accurate by traditional survey since water surface changes frequently. Remote...
In order to demonstrate that silicate (SiO 3 -Si) can be used as an indicator to study upwelling in the northern South China Sea, hierarchical cluster analysis (CA) and principle component analysis (PCA) were applied to analyse the metrics of the data consisting of 14 physical-chemical-biological parameters at 32 stations. CA categorized the 32 stations into two groups (low and high nutrient...
The information of instream biotype, i.e., types, location, distribution, etc, are important for estuary environment management. Field observations carry out by ecology surveyor is the standard procedure to gather that information, which is time consuming and difficult to be applied to a large spatial extend. In this research, we propose using airborne for instream biotype classification. Texture...
