Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
A data processing and analyzing system was designed and made operational with free software to process the big data over the South China Sea (SCS), which are provided by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi-NPP) to monitor the light distributions in the night. The VIIRS data are processed from the raw data (level-0) to geophysical data (level-3) using the International Polar Orbiter Processing Package (IPOPP), which are freely available from NASA. The Day Night Band (DNB) of VIIRS is extracted from the level-3 data and is geospatially projected for our region of …

This study aims to examine the relationship between temperature and precipitation as climatic factors and the vegetation characteristics in Forêt Classée de la Mondah (Gabon). A pixel based spatial analysis procedure with QGIS was used to extract vegetation characteristics from MODIS on Terra, NDVI band, data from February 2000 to December 2015, while temperature and precipitation were monitored from January 1980 to December 2015 to highlight climate fluctuations in the study area. Two regression analyses were conducted : one between temperature and NDVI and the other one between precipitation and NDVI. Results showed that temperature and precipitation did not vary …
Peranan Penginderaan Jauh Dalam Menyokong Kajian Pemetaan Batas Wilayah Darat (Studi Kasus: Desa Baturetno, Kecamatan Banguntapan, Kabupaten Bantul, Diy), A G. Ahmad
Jurnal Geografi Lingkungan Tropik (Journal of Geography of Tropical Environments)
Border mapping is an activity which could be done continuously as the region develops. Many kinds of methods in border mapping have been done, and each has strength and weakness. Technology of remote sensing which continues to develop can be used to optimize border mapping to be more efficient. Remote sensing is one of the way to know the condition of earth surface, which in border mapping uses high resolution image, Quickbird image. The spatial accuracy of Quickbird image which reaches 2.4 meters per pixel can be used to monitor land use, to be created into a map which gives …
Sensors Everywhere: Using Satellites And Mobile Phones To Reduce Information Uncertainty In Human Rights Crisis Research, Christoph Koettl
Sensors Everywhere: Using Satellites And Mobile Phones To Reduce Information Uncertainty In Human Rights Crisis Research, Christoph Koettl
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
This article critically reviews the use of ICTs for human rights crisis research. While focusing on two specific technologies—satellite imagery and mobile phone technology—it proposes a general framework for analyzing the added value of ICTs. The author suggests that their added value in mass atrocities research arises from their ability to reduce information uncertainty, a challenge that is exacerbated in the digital age. This is different from delivering “truth”, an inaccurate description that only leads to unfulfilled expectations and hopes. The article is written from a practitioner’s perspective, drawing from the work of a global human rights watchdog, thus avoiding …
