Future efforts will focus on (a) use of consistent methodology across years, (b) integration of multiple sensors to maximize images used, and (c) employing cloud-computing platforms for large scale processing capabilities.
In the absence of ground reference irrigated area information, we evaluated these maps with the irrigated areas classified from multiple snapshots of the landscape during the growing season from Landsat 5 optical and thermal sensor images.
Another project that enables the interconnection of multiple sensor networks is Sensor Web Enablement [30].
The Bayesian detector algorithm can be used for single sensor streams, or multiple sensor streams.
The current approach is designed to reduce the load on humans controlling UAVs by providing computerized interpretation of a set of images from multiple sensors.
The cognitive processes involved with utilizing information from multiple sensors may vary from the processing of one sensor image.
In the acquisition process, the depth information of an image is captured using multiple sensors such as the CCD and laser sensors in which case the latter provide much lower resolution than the former, and thus, registration to obtain 3D image becomes complex.
Up to now, multiple sensors or exposures were necessary to record such images [1 3].
