High Power Switching Devices: Past, Present and Future
Professor Noel Y. A. Shammas
Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Advanced Technology
Staffordshire University

E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: Switching devices are key components in any power electronic circuit or system as they control and limit
the flow of power from the source to the load. Their power level requirements (current & voltage) and switching
frequency are continually increasing in the power electronic industry, and this demands larger and faster switching
devices.
This paper will focus on the development of high power switching devices and will present an up to date perspective
of switching device technology and materials. The most important material has been and still is silicon (Si) for solidstate semiconductor devices. It dominates the world market at present, particularly in its crystalline form. However,
silicon power device operation is generally limited to relatively low frequency and temperature.
Silicon Carbide, Gallium Nitride and Diamond offer the potential to overcome the frequency, temperature and power
management limitations of silicon. A large number of new concepts and materials are still in the research stage. At
present, Silicon Carbide is considered to have the best trade-off between material properties and commercial
maturity. Multilayer Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices being in development are promising devices
for the near future, but long term reliability, crystal degradation and forward voltage drift problems need to be solved
before commercialisation.

Current Research Trends and Applications in Urban Remote Sensing
Dr. Sunil Bhaskaran
Bronx Community College/CUNY
Dept of Chemistry & Chemical Technology
2155 University Ave, Bronx, NY 10453
USA
E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: The talk focuses on current trends in urban remote sensing, and discusses the importance of spectral and
object-oriented classification methods for mapping urban features from multispectral and hyperspectral remotely
sensed data. By giving examples from 2 projects undertaken in Sydney, Australia and New York, USA, importance
aspects of remote sensing applications for urban environments are presented. Decomposing the image pixel is the
main goal in urban remote sensing. However, extracting features from urban environment is challenging due to the
heterogeneity of urban features and limited spectral separability of certain urban features such as building roofs,
roads, open spaces. The importance of combining spectral and object-oriented classification is highlighted in this
presentation. An overview of object-oriented classification is also presented.

Plenary Lecture 3
Recent Progress in Satellite Image Processing based on Physical Principles
Professor Yoshikazu Iikura
Faculty of Science and Technology
Hirosaki University, Japan
E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract: Remote sensing has been expected to provide appropriate information for land cover classification and
multi-temporal monitoring of natural environment ( agriculture, forest, geology and etc.) as it can cover wide area
periodically. In order to utilize satellite images, however, we have to consider many kinds of measurement
uncertainty, which are categorized into systematic error and random error. The systematic error should be corrected
based on physical models and appropriate data if they are available, and remained uncertainty should be treated
statistically. In the case of optical sensor, we need geometric correction and radiometric correction. The light traveling
through the atmosphere is scattered and absorbed not only by molecules but also aerosols and clouds. Slopes facing
toward the sun receive more light and appear brighter than slopes facing away from the sun. In the case of rugged
terrain like most part of Japan, some topographic effects are entangled with atmospheric effects. Therefore, we first
have to precisely lay the images over the map by the geometric correction including ortho-rectification as the satellite
images are center-projected. Then atmospheric and topographic effects on radiance detected on board are corrected
to obtain ground surface reflectance based on the physical principles using the digital elevation model and
meteorological data.
Ten years ago, there were many obstacles to process and analyze the satellite images properly for users in
application fields. The images, both geometrically and radiometrically, were not so accurate as they are now
provided. The users were not given the ortho-rectified images, nor the information and the digital elevation model to
perform the ortho-rectification. There were some practical topographic correction methods, which were only
applicable to images over moderately rugged terrain and high sun elevation season. The parameters of the correction
were usually estimated statistically. The physical model of atmospheric effects were known as the radiative transfer
model, and the computer simulation code such as 6S were available, but they could not estimate the spatial variation
of sky light and reflected irradiance from the adjacent slope over rugged terrain. Although these effects were known
theoretically, their calculation was thought impossible to perform for the hardware and software at that time.
Since then, there have been much progress in the satellite imagery itself as well as methods and data for image
processing. Satellite position and attitude are well monitored and controlled by using GPS and star trackers. In order
to ortho-rectify satellite images easily, coefficients of rational polynomials are attached to some high resolution
satellite images. Computer improved in quality and efficient algorithms for calculating horizon and view-shed are
developed. In order to mitigate the random errors, spatial averaging over segmented regions seems useful. By
exploiting these progress, the ground reflectance and land cover class can be estimated much more accurately, but
the satellite image with low sun elevation over rugged terrain are still difficult to analyze.
Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Yoshikazu Iikura is a full professor with the Faculty of Science and Technology at Hirosaki University, Japan. His
current research interests are basic processing of satellite images : geometric correction, illumination correction, and
land cover classification. He received the BS, Ms, and Dr. Eng. degrees in instrumentation physics and mathematical
engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan. As a student, he studied statistics (discriminant analysis) and
information theory (rate distortion theory). He worked for National Institute for Environmental Studies (Japan) and was
engaged in a project for lidar monitoring of stratospheric aerosol. In order to retrieve aerosol concentration, he
developed some signal processing method: removing systematic noise caused by photomultiplier, calibration of the
signal using Rayleigh scattering profile of upper stratosphere, etc. In late 1980s, he moved to Iwate University and
began the study of satellite image processing. At first, he tried to apply the best linear discriminant function to the
image but found that atmospheric and topographic effects should be corrected beforehand. He also noticed the need
of digital elevation model and radiative transfer code. He invented the automatic geometric correction method using
simulated illumination image as a reference and improved the practical topographic correction method based on the
physical models. For these achievements (including lider signal processing), he won the best paper prize of the
Remote Sensing Society of Japan three times. He has been an IEEE GRSS member since 1990, and served as a
chair of the IEEE GRSS Japan Chapter (2008-2009). He is currently a director of the Remote Sensing Society of
Japan.
