Generalized fractional integrals in advanced remote sensing

An application of fractional calculus related to filtering and remote sensing is here shown. Since several inputs are commonly used to perform an accurate estimation of sensed areas, a fractional calculus based model allows to tune easily the filtering for every single input. In fact, the filtering is tuned by means of the viscosity parameters (order of fractional integrals) involved in the model. Numerical experiments fitting in the framework of remote sensing for coal mining area mapping will be shown.
