Remote Sensing of the Planet Earth

My interests is in remote sensing using thermal infrared region. Multi-spectral thermal infrared remote sensing data is a useful tool for mapping earth surface composition.

My current projects list

Remote Sensing and GIS for agriculture and environmental application
Modeling surface emissivity variation
GOSAT P.I.

List of past research projects

Mapping and modeling surface emissivity in high accuracy and high spatial resolution using ASTER data (October 2001 - October 2003 in USDA/ARS)
- Developing the method for estimating broadband and window emissivity using spectral libraries
- Applied the method to ASTER data and create broadband and window emissivity maps over study areas. EOS/ASTER is the fist spaceborne sensor which has multi-bands in thermal infrared region with high spatial resolution (90m). This sensor is developed by MITI, Japan and is launched on December 18th, 1999.
Evaluation of weathering process using thermal infrared remote sensing (1994-1996, in Univ. of Tokyo)
Measurement of thermal infrared (8 to 12 micro meter) spectra of terrestrial materials (1994-1996, in Univ. of Tokyo)
Developing a tool for calculating emissivity from MicroFTIR data (1994-1996, in Univ. of Tokyo)
- The software EEM (->click here to download) has developed with Think C 5.0
- System requirements
  - OS: Macintosh System 7.1 or later (It also works on classic environment of OS X)
  - CPU: 68020 or later (including PowerPC, probably G3, G4)
My bibliography is available.
