Ronald Eastman/Clark Labs/Clark University http://gis.synersys.org/2008/11/10/idrisi-andes-guide-to-gis-and-image-processing/ Abstract The productivity of forest sites has been indirectly determined with solo wood production objective in forest management. Forest site productivity should, however, be determined directly in order to implement ecosystem based multipurpose forest management philosophy. This article tackles the problem in distinguishing and mapping forest sites using both direct ... http://gis.synersys.org/2008/11/10/classification-and-mapping-forest-sites-using-geographic-information-system-gis-a-case-study-in-artvin-province/ A submission to Infrastructure Australia 15/10/2008 AUSTRALIAN SPATIAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATION The Australian Spatial Information Business Association represents the spatial information industry’s interests on issues specific to spatial businesses.

The aim of the study was to develop methods for moving vehicle tracking in aerial image sequences taken over urban areas. The first image of the sequence was manually registered to a map. Corner points were extracted semi-automatically, then tracked along the sequence, to ... http://gis.synersys.org/2008/11/07/3d-connected-components-analysis-for-traffic-monitoring-in-image-sequences-acquired-from-a-helicopter/ Remote sensing techniques to assess active fire characteristics and post-fire effects Introduction Fire is an important ecosystem process that significantly impacts terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric systems throughout the world. Over the past few decades, wildfires have received significant attention because of the wide range of ecological, economic, social, and political values at ... http://gis.synersys.org/2008/11/07/remote-sensing-techniques-to-assess-active-fire-characteristics-and-post-fire-effects/ REMOTE SENSING OF RICE-BASED IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE: A REVIEW The ‘Green Revolution’ in rice farming of the late 1960’s denotes the beginning of the extensive breeding programs that have led to the many improved rice varieties that are now planted on more than 60% of the world’s riceland (Khush, 1987).

We examined ... http://gis.synersys.org/2008/10/21/inter-field-cooperation-in-gis-education-in-the-us/ This article recounts the development of radar signal processing at Lincoln Laboratory. The Laboratory’s significant efforts in this field were initially driven by the need to provide detected and processed signals for air and ballistic missile defense systems. The first processing work was on the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) air-defense ... http://gis.synersys.org/2008/10/15/radar-signal-processing/ ABSTRACT Consequently, GS-25 N applications are critical for remediating thin wheat Studies have shown that winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) tiller density at growth stage 25 (GS 25) can be used to determine when a GS-25 N application is needed. However, determining GS-25 tiller is difficult and time consuming. ... http://gis.synersys.org/2008/10/13/field-validation-of-a-remote-sensing-technique-for-early-nitrogen-application-decisions-in-wheat/ The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology The Institute has changed considerably over the last few years and the past three Presidents have aptly captured the scenarios in their messages: ‘Gathering speed’, ‘Diligence, learning and patience’, and ‘Change, progress – the future’.
