Assessment of Temporal Features for Geographical Localisation of Satellite Images

Abstract

Abstract

Most of the geographical applications are dependent upon the frequent interpretation or analysis of satellite images captured at periodical manner. Consequently the observation is mainly due to the environmental or human based comprehensive changes in spatio-temporal information, which affect the overall process. Thus the past and present data are main sources in the various predictive investigations in remote sensing. While inherent spatial and spectral information are exploited severely, it is proposed that the temporal characteristics between images of the same scene some time apart should also be considered. Sequential image or data set which is taken some days apart varies in relative distributions depending on the seasonal effect such as; the solar radiation, illumination or reflectivity effects of the object and the conditions of the atmosphere. This paper mainly exploits the deviation in temporal characteristics for diverse geographical features. Mainly features for urban, forestry and coastal areas have been investigated.
