Author:Salmon, BP; Holloway, DS; Kleynhans, Waldo; Olivier, JC; Wessels, Konrad JDate:Sep 2017In this paper, we propose a new method for extracting features from time-series satellite data to detect land cover change. We propose to make use of the behavior of a deterministic nonlinear system driven by a time-dependent force. The driving ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Kleynhans, Waldo; Olivier, JC; Van den Bergh, Frans; Wessels, Konrad JDate:May 2018Humans are transforming land cover at an ever-increasing rate. Accurate geographical maps on land cover, especially rural and urban settlements are essential to planning sustainable development. Time series extracted from MODerate resolution ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Kleynhans, W; Olivier, JC; Schwegmann, CP; Olding, WCDate:Jul 2015In this paper the authors present a 2-tier higher order Conditional Random Field which is used for land cover classification. The Conditional Random Field is based on probabilistic messages being passed along a graph to compute efficiently ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Kleynhans, W; Schwegmann, CP; Olivier, JCDate:Jul 2015An important aspect of research in the remote sensing field is to objectively compare different classifiers. This is the foundation of hundreds of research projects and in this paper we will address some raising concerns when evaluating ...Read more
Author:Vhengani, L; Lubbe, M; Griffith, D; Lysko, MDate:Oct 2010The success or failure of any earth observation mission depends on the quality of its data. Data quality is assessed by determining the radiometric, spatial, spectral and geometric fidelity of the satellite sensor. The process is termed calval. ...Read more
Author:Du Preez, WDate:Oct 2010This presentation deals with South Africa’s Space Programme from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, and discussed the South African Titanium Industry in particular. The talk shows how the SA Titanium Industry supports the current South African Space ...Read more
