Al-Tameemi R. Methods of comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic pollution using space surveillance systems

The thesis is dedicated to solving of important scientific and practical problems of complex methods development of technological environment pollution estimation based on processing and application of multi-spectral space images. The object of the research is to preform complex estimation process of technological pollution of the environment with use of space surveillance systems. The aim of the study is to increase reliability of environment technological pollution estimation and information system capabilities for environmental monitoring based on the processing and utilization of multi-spectral images for space surveillance. Methods of the research are analysis and synthesis of complex systems theory, probability theory, remote sensing for environmental monitoring, statistical processing, multi-spectral and graph-analytical methods of data processing. A specialized software ENVI 5.2 was used. Scientific novelty: environment technological pollution estimation methods were further developed; multi-spectral images information capacity estimation by pixel-by-pixel processing of space images idea was proposed for the first time; method of building environmental maps of anthropogenic nature was improved. The practical importance lies in advanced scientific and methodological apparatus for processing of multi-spectral images for comprehensive evaluation of anthropogenic impact on the environment, environmental mapping of technological nature. The results of the dissertation research is implemented and can be used for environmental monitoring and environment control, assessment of anthropogenic impact on the environment and education.
