Author:Pillay, DL; Sebake, MDDate:Nov 2008The significant land-use change in South African metropolitan areas, due to urbanization, created challenges of spatial development planning, infrastructure and service provision. This paper outlines the change detection analysis method applied ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Olivier, JC; Kleynhans, W; Wessels, Konrad J; Van den Bergh, FDate:Jul 2010An automated land cover change detection method is proposed that uses coarse resolution hyper-temporal satellite time series data. The study compared two different unsupervised clustering approaches that operate on the short term Fourier ...Read more
Author:Singh, RG; Engelbrecht, Jeanine; Kemp, JDate:Jun 2015Identification and protection of areas that are vulnerable to erosion is essential for the conservation of the sensitive wetlands and estuarine ecosystems along the Xolobeni coastal strip. The forecasting of these erosion susceptible areas ...Read more
Author:Breytenbach, Andre; Eloff, C; Pretorius, EDate:Aug 2013Accessibility to higher resolution earth observation satellites suggests an improvement in the potential for fine scale image classification. In this comparative study, imagery from three optical satellites (WorldView-2, Pléiades and RapidEye) ...Read more
Author:Kleynhans, W; Salmon, BP; Olivier, JCDate:Oct 2015Recent times have seen a significant increase in the amount of readily available SAR data, with many current and historic SAR data holdings now adopting an open distribution policy. As more regular SAR observations are becoming available, the ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Kleynhans, Waldo; Olivier, JC; Schwegmann, Colin PDate:Jul 2017The well-being of the environment is one of the major factors that contributes to sustainability. Sustainable human settlements require local governance to plan, implement, develop, and manage human settlements expansions. This is important ...Read more
Author:Wessels, Konrad J; Van den Bergh, F; Scholes, RJDate:Oct 2012This paper demonstrates a simulation approach for testing the sensitivity of linear and non-parametric trend analysis methods applied to remotely sensed vegetation index data for the detection of land degradation. The intensity, rate and ...Read more
Author:Lück-Vogel, Melanie; Strohbach, MDate:Jul 2009Detection and quantification of degradation processes as a first step for understanding and development of prevention and mitigation actions is of international interest as the described processes are observed in semi-arid landscapes globally. ...Read more
Author:Kleynhans, W; Salmon, BP; Wessels, Konrad J; Olivier, JCDate:Aug 2015Recent development has identified the benefits of using hyper-temporal satellite time series data for land cover change detection and classification in South Africa. In particular, the monitoring of human settlement expansion in the Limpopo ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Kleynhans, Waldo; Olivier, JC; Schwegmann, Colin PDate:Jul 2015Regional monitoring of land cover conversion of natural vegetation to new informal human settlements is essential when investigating the migration of people to urbanized cities. Detecting these new settlements require reliable change detection ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Olivier, JC; Kleynhans, W; Wessels, Konrad J; Van den Bergh, F; Steenkamp, Karen CDate:Dec 2011This paper presents a novel land cover change detection method that employs a sliding window over hyper-temporal multi-spectral images acquired from the 7 bands of the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface reflectance ...Read more
Author:Machaka, P; Bagula, A; Nelwamondo, Fulufhelo VDate:Nov 2016This paper seeks to investigate the performance of the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) for mining big data and detection of DDoS attacks in Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The paper will investigate the tradeoff between ...Read more
Author:Machaka, Pheeha; McDonald, Andre M; Nelwamondo, Fulufhelo V; Bagula, ADate:Nov 2015The paper presents the threats that are present in Internet of Things (IoT) systems and how they can be used to perpetuate a large scale DDoS attack. The paper investigates how the Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) algorithm can be used to detect a DDoS ...Read more
