3D modelling of urban areas is an attractive and active research topic, as 3D digital models of cities are becoming increasingly common for urban management as a consequence of the constantly growing number of people living in cities. Viewed as a dig...

Reliable estimation of the atmospheric boundary layer height (ABLH) is critical for a range of meteorological applications, including air quality assessment and weather forecasting. Several algorithms have been proposed to detect ABLH from aerosol Li...

As one type of object detection, small object detection has been widely used in daily-life-related applications with many real-time requirements, such as autopilot and navigation. Although deep-learning-based object detection methods have achieved gr...

Calibration using corner reflectors is an effective way to estimate the distortion parameters of hybrid compact polarimetric (HCP) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. However, the existing literature lacks a discussion on the inconsistency of the...

Since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, China’s air pollution has been significantly affected by control measures on industrial production and human activities. In this study, we analyzed the temporal variations of NO2 concentrations during the CO...

As natural wetlands are degrading worldwide, artificial wetlands can operate as a substitute to provide waterbirds with refuge, but they cannot replace natural wetlands. Reservoirs, one of the most common artificial wetlands in China, can be of great...

The paper presents a concept of an air pollution monitoring system with prediction abilities, based on wireless smart sensors, that takes into account local conditions (microclimate) prevailing in particular areas of the city. In most cases reported...

The leaf area index (LAI), a valuable variable for assessing vine vigor, reflects nutrient concentrations in vineyards and assists in precise management, including fertilization, improving yield, quality, and vineyard uniformity. Although some vegeta...

In this paper, we deal with the problem of retrieving maps of tropospheric Water Vapor (WV) concentration by means of a set of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites orbiting in the same plane and along the same direction. It is assumed that a number of mi...

Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data have been widely used to analyze extreme precipitation, but the data have never been validated for the Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC). This study evaluated the capability of IMERG Early...
