Employing a MapReduce framework and readily available GIS data in the form of Open-
StreetMap data, the proposed parallelized approach enriches large laser scanning point
cloud metadata with detailed semantic information about the object type.

Evaluating the performance of four vegetation parameters including NDVI, EVI, LAI, and
FPAR for parameterizing the scattering and attenuation mechanisms of vegetation in
the coupled WCM and AIEM during soil moisture retrieval over the Central Plains of the
United States.

A novel method to detect individual trees from orthophotos and digital surface models
(DSM) derived from the multi-view satellite images with the 2D spectral and the 3D
structure information.

The multispectral-based normalized difference senescent vegetation index (NDSVI) and
brightness index (BI) were found to be combined with the selected NDVI, EVI, and OSAVI
to better estimate the fractional cover of photosynthetic, non-photosynthetic vegetation
and bare soil in this region.
