Remote sensing from space: supporting international peace and security

‘Remote Sensing from Space – Supporting International Peace and Security’ provides the reader with an overview of the state-of-the-art EO related research in the most relevant topics of security research. Whilst focusing on remote sensing technologies the book follows an interdisciplinary approach. It comprises management aspects (Issues and priority of security research, crisis response), applied methodologies and process chains (Treaty monitoring, estimation ofpopulation densities and characteristics, border permeability models, damage assessment) and the latest developments in generic tools (feature recognition,change detection and visualization). Contributing authors are leading researchers from private companies, national research institutions and international organizations working together in a European research project GMOSS (Global Monitoring for Security and Stability). Representation of high-level European knowledge and expertise in EO technology and EO data applications in the field of civil security Coverage of a wide spectrum of civil security research issues: from the analysis of security threats to security applications and the generic tools needed for their implementation INDICE: Preface.- 1 Introduction.- 2 Security Concepts. 2.1 Dimensions andspatial concepts of security. 2.2 Security research in the scope of GMES and in particular by GMOSS. 2.3 Issues and Priorities for European Security. 2.4 ANovel Approach to Capacity Building for Security Applications.- 3 Tools and Applications. 3.1 Infrastructure and standards. 3.2 Respond to crisis. 3.3 Gameand Scenario Analysis. 3.4 Treaty monitoring. 3.5 Early warning and Alerts. 3.6 Can Earth Observation help to address the need for information on population? 3.7 Border monitoring: a permeability model. 3.8 Rapid Mapping and Damage Assessment. 3.9 Feature Recognition Techniques. 3.10 Change Detection Tools. 3.11 Data Integration and Visualization for Crisis Applications.- 4 Summary and outlook.- 5 Annex and Index.
