Using ENVI for Agriculture Research | Optical Remote Sensing of Sugarcane Development

Remote sensing is an effective tool for monitoring crop health and development when extensive field studies are not feasible. Using remote sensing to monitor development stages throughout the growing season (also called phenology) can help provide better estimates of productivity, yield forecasts, and biomass.

ENVI Automated Image Registration Solutions

Image registration is the process of aligning two or more images, by locating and matching feature points in the images. Those points are typically called tie points. The corresponding tie points are then used to compute the parameters of a geometric transformation between the two images. This white paper provides an introduction to the ENVI...

Optimizing a Global Satellite Constellation for AIS and Maritime Domain Awareness

Although relatively new, Satellite Automatic Identification System (S-AIS) technology has fundamentally changed the landscape for monitoring the maritime domain. Improving upon existing AIS technology already deployed aboard all large vessels and many smaller vessels around the globe, S-AIS is truly revolutionary in providing a complete and... Read More >

Accuracy Assessment of Passive Point Clouds

Passive point clouds have become a pervasive data modality for remote sensing analyses. A passive point cloud is a three-dimensional dataset representing the horizontal and vertical position of everything on the surface of an area. These points are generated using photogrammetric algorithms that take advantage of the parallax between the images...
