  1. 1. Development of Radon Detectors for Earthquake Prediction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Alma Partos; Astrid Schöldström; [2023]
    Keywords : Radon; earthquake; gamma ray spectroscopy;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project is to simulate the detection of γ-ray spectra emitted by radon isotopes and their daughters. This is done as a contribution to the development of radiation detectors to be used in a research project investigating the possibility of using increased amounts of the radioactive gas radon as an earthquake precursor.

  4. 3. Exploitation of Digital Surface Models from Optical Satellites for the Identification of Buildings in High Resolution SAR Imagery

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Rebecca Ilehag; [2016]
    Keywords : SAR; DSM; GeoRaySAR; nDSM; building detection;

    Abstract : Interpreting a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image and detecting buildings can be a difficult task visually. In order acquire an overview of an area that has been affected by a disaster, such as an earthquake, SAR is useful due to its independence of weather conditions and the time of the day. READ MORE

    Keywords : DOA estimation; spatial spectrum; MUSIC algorithm.;

    Abstract : Array signal processing is an important branch in the field of signal processing. In recent years, it has developed dramatically. It can be applied in such fields as radio detection and ranging, communication, sonar, earthquake, exploration, astronomy and biomedicine. READ MORE

  6. 5. Comparison and Fusion of space borne L-, C- and X- Band SAR Images for Damage Identification in the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake

    University essay from KTH/Geodesi och geoinformatik

    Author : SIN WAI LAU; [2011]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; SAR; image fusion; Sichuan earthquake; PALSAR; RADARSAT-1; TerraSAR-X;

    Abstract : Remote sensing has been widely used in disaster management. However, application of optical imageries in damage detection is not always feasible for immediate damage assessment. In the case of the Sichuan earthquake in 2008, the damaged areas were covered by cloud and fog for most of the time. READ MORE
