Author:Lück-Vogel, Melanie; Mbolambi, C; Adams, J; Rautenbach, KDate:Apr 2015The iSimangaliso Wetland Park in which the St Lucia estuary is embedded hosts the largest estuarine system in Africa (155 000 Ha). Remote sensing mapping of the composition of the otherwise largely inaccessible estuarine vegetation provides ...Read more
Author:Sivakumar, V; Sharma, Ameeth; Bollig, CDate:Jul 2011In this paper, the authors present the preliminary methods for detection of the boundary layer based on backscattered signals from a mobile LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) developed at Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) ...Read more
Author:Shikwambana, L; Sivakumar, V; Sharma, AmeethDate:Jul 2012LIDAR is an acronym for light detection and ranging, it is analogous to radar (radio detection and ranging), except that it is based on discrete light pulses and measured travel times. We report on the mobile LIDAR system developed at the ...Read more
