SAR-SIFT: A SIFT-Like Algorithm for SAR Images [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2015 The scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm and its many variants are widely used in computer vision and in remote sensing to match features between images or to localize and recognize objects. However, mostly because of speckle noise, it does not perform well on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images.

Journal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2021 Floods are triggered by water overflow into drylands from several sources, including rivers, lakes, oceans, or heavy rainfall. Near real-time (NRT) flood mapping plays an important role in taking strategic measures to reduce flood damage after a flood ...

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2004 Since its emergence in the first months of 2003, the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has been characterized by rapid spread among healthcare workers (HCWs). Uncertainty about the route of transmission of the virus suggests the use of respirators that can protect HCWs against both droplet nuclei and droplet transmission, rather than

Use of SAR and Optical Time Series for Tropical Forest Disturbance Mapping
Remote Sensing, 2020 Frequent cloud cover and fast regrowth often hamper topical forest disturbance monitoring with optical data. This study aims at overcoming these limitations by combining dense time series of optical (Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8) and SAR data (Sentinel-1 ...

Respirology, 2003 Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) originated in Southern China in November 2002, and was brought to Hong Kong in February 2003. From Hong Kong, the disease spread rapidly worldwide but mostly to Asian countries. At the end of the epidemic in June, the global cumulative total was 8422 cases with 916 deaths (case fatality rate of 11%).

The Impact of the SARS Epidemic on the Utilization of Medical Services: SARS and the Fear of SARS
American Journal of Public Health, 2004 Using interrupted time-series analysis and National Health Insurance data between January 2000 and August 2003, this study assessed the impacts of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic on medical service utilization in Taiwan. At the peak of the SARS epidemic, significant reductions in ambulatory care (23.9%), inpatient care (35.2 ...
