Digital image processing
The department specializes in a range of tasks related to digital image processing and satellite imagery analysis. One of its primary functions is to provide training and consulting services in the field of digital image processing. This includes identifying areas at risk of soil erosion, forest depletion, and water resource depletion. By utilizing satellite image data, the department aims to mitigate negative impacts on natural resources and promote sustainable practices.
Research within the department focuses on developing and refining satellite image data analysis techniques. This involves image enhancement, transformation, and classification, which are essential for creating accurate land cover and land use maps. The department also engages in environmental monitoring, employing advanced image classification and analysis methods to track changes in the environment over time. These capabilities allow for comprehensive assessments of various natural resources, aiding in effective resource management.
To ensure the reliability of the data, the department conducts geometrical and radiometric corrections on information obtained from the institute’s image reception stations and various satellite image sources. This process is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the data and ensuring that analyses yield accurate results.
The department’s areas of research and collaboration encompass several key initiatives:
- Provision of product and service.
- High-resolution Earth observation satellite imagery data sharing.
- Software and digital solutions used for remote sensing and image processing.
- Education and training.
- Advanced remote sensing techniques.
- Algorithms for processing remote monitoring data.
- Automatic detection of changes, such as those occurring in forest reserves.
