This paper presents a new nonlinear unmixing method. Based on relative distances which imply nonlinearity, the method introduces “fractional distance” as key variable that quantifies interactions between pixels and endmembers. Relationships fractional abundance fractions are built through networks. Because an equal spectral mixture of ground classes present surface sensed is likely impossible, proposed method, due to its mathematical concept, reveals unknown Three versions have been...

This work introduces a one of its kind labeled Earth Observation based benchmark dataset, Sen4AgriNet, for agricultural applications in Europe. The dataset is using farmer declarations the period 2016–2020, available as open data only very recently. Sen4AgriNet contains 42.5 million parcels hence significantly larger than existing archives and tailored to be used training source context deep learning. It consists two sub-datasets: Object Aggregated Dataset (OAD) Patches Assembled (PAD). OAD...

The paper presents a new method for estimating oil spill thickness using hyperspectral data. relies on the abundance fractions provided by spectral unmixing methods. Given that materials which compose signature of pixels presenting spills are and water, correlation functions between these endmembers were established artificial images. images created laboratory measurements spills. Thirteen different types used production relevant images, each one spread water surface with six levels...

Fronts, which are sharp boundaries between distinct water masses, play a substantial role in managing biodiversity of marine species and preserving resilient ecosystem. The overarching aim this study is to compare different methodologies for detecting fronts. Many fronts identifiable by their strong temperature gradient. For that reason, tests how two edge detection (Laplacian Canny) performs on once applied the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) product Sentinel-3 SLSTR instrument. In few words,...
