Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar
Author : Irena Hajnsek
Publisher : Springer Nature
Page : 304 pages
File Size : 19,44 MB
Release : 2021-03-24
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 3030565041
Book Description
This open access book focuses on the practical application of electromagnetic polarimetry principles in Earth remote sensing with an educational purpose. In the last decade, the operations from fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar such as the Japanese ALOS/PalSAR, the Canadian Radarsat-2 and the German TerraSAR-X and their easy data access for scientific use have developed further the research and data applications at L,C and X band. As a consequence, the wider distribution of polarimetric data sets across the remote sensing community boosted activity and development in polarimetric SAR applications, also in view of future missions. Numerous experiments with real data from spaceborne platforms are shown, with the aim of giving an up-to-date and complete treatment of the unique benefits of fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data in five different domains: forest, agriculture, cryosphere, urban and oceans.

Release : 1998
Category : Computers
ISBN : 0821810049
Book Description
A response to the exhaustion of fiber-optic cable network capacity for digital telecommunication and the resulting shift from time-division multiplexing (TDM) to wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) to add capacity, and the rapid sales of the new technology. Theorists and practitioners in computer science present 17 papers applying theoretical and algorithmic results to such practical problems as admissions control, routing and channel assignments, multicasting and protection, and fault-tolerance. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

ISBN : 9780821870907
Book Description
Time division multiplexing (TDM) has been the fundamental basis for adding capacity to digital telecommunications networks for decades. However, within the past two years, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has been emerging as an important and widely deployed complement to TDM. Sales of systems based on the new technology have risen at breathtaking speed. The driving force behind this sales explosion was the unexpected rapid exhaustion of long distance fiber network capacity. This fiber exhaust, combined with favorable economics for WDM, led to the use of this technology over other alternatives. The WDM deployment raises fundamental and challenging problems that require novel and innovative solutions. This volume presents papers from an interdisciplinary workshop held at DIMACS on multichannel optical networks. Leading computer science theorists and practitioners discussed admissions control, routing and channel assignment, multicasting and protection, and fault-tolerance. The book features application of theoretical and/or algorithmical results to practical problems and addresses the influence of practical problems to theoretical/algorithmic studies. The volume can serve as a text for an advanced course in computer science, networking, and operations research.

Foundations of Constraint Satisfaction
Author : Edward Tsang
Publisher : BoD – Books on Demand
Page : 446 pages
File Size : 16,47 MB
Release : 2014-05-13
Category : Computers
ISBN : 3735723667
Book Description
This seminal text of Computer Science, the most cited book on the subject, is now available for the first time in paperback. Constraint satisfaction is a decision problem that involves finite choices. It is ubiquitous. The goal is to find values for a set of variables that will satisfy a given set of constraints. It is the core of many applications in artificial intelligence, and has found its application in many areas, such as planning and scheduling. Because of its generality, most AI researchers should be able to benefit from having good knowledge of techniques in this field. Originally published in 1993, this now classic book was the first attempt to define the scope of constraint satisfaction. It covers both the theoretical and the implementation aspects of the subject. It provides a framework for studying this field, relates different research, and resolves ambiguity in a number of concepts and algorithms in the literature. This seminal text is arguably the most rigorous book in the field. All major concepts were defined in First Order Predicate Calculus. Concepts defined this way are precise and unambiguous.
