High Performance Computing Applications In Remote Sensing Studies For Land Cover Dynamics, S. Kalluri, J. Jájá, D.A. Bader, Z. Zhang, J. Townshend, H. Fallah-Adl Apr 1998

High Performance Computing Applications In Remote Sensing Studies For Land Cover Dynamics, S. Kalluri, J. Jájá, D.A. Bader, Z. Zhang, J. Townshend, H. Fallah-Adl

Electrical & Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Global and regional land cover studies require the ability to apply complex models on selected subsets of large amounts of multi-sensor and multi-temporal data sets that have been derived from raw instrument measurements using widely accepted pre-processing algorithms. The computational and storage requirements of most such studies far exceed what is possible on a single workstation environment. We have been pursuing a new approach that couples scalable and open distributed heterogeneous hardware with the development of high performance software for processing, indexing, and organizing remotely sensed data. Hierarchical data management tools are used to ingest raw data, create metadata, and …

Natural Resource Data Analysis: Finding Comfort With Computers, James A. Stevens, Jeremy S. Fried Jan 1998

Natural Resource Data Analysis: Finding Comfort With Computers, James A. Stevens, Jeremy S. Fried

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

For the past six years Michigan State University Department of Forestry has offered a course, "Natural Resource Data Analysis," that has evolved as computer skills, there are three principle objectives in the course: identifying a natural resource problem and obtaining relevant data; conducting an objective, quantitative analysis of data; and presenting the analysis in a way that is clear to a non-technical audience. The course consists of a combined lecture/lab where fundamental concepts oral and written communication, quantitative analysis, and spatial analysis/cartography are introduced and a hands-on lab where students practice specific computer and analytic skills. The ultimate course objective …

User Response And Organisational Fit For Information Systems In Earth Observation, Jeff Kingwell Jan 1998

User Response And Organisational Fit For Information Systems In Earth Observation, Jeff Kingwell

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

A group of seventy six scientists and data managers in the Australian research agency CSIRO were surveyed to establish their needs and preferences in relation to information systems for Earth observation data. After study of available alternatives, three prototype Earth observation information management systems were installed and the user response was evaluated through interview of fifteen of the group. The prototypes consisted of web-based client servers which permitted users to interrogate databases of Earth observation datasets; to search for information about sensor or satellite performance, and to retrieve data and information products. The chosen systems were CILS, the CEOS (Committee …
