A DEFINITION OF VISUAL INTERPRETATION CRITERIAS TO MAPPING LAND-USE AND LAND-COVER IN THE BRAZILIAN BIOMES

Land-cover and Land-use Mapping

Land cover land use mapping and change detection analysis using geographic information system and remote sensing

Land cover/land use categories are relevant components in land management. Understanding how land cover/land use change over time is necessary to assess the consequences of humans and natural stressors on the earth’s environment and resources. The aim of the study was to map and monitor the spatial and temporal change in land cover/land use for the periods of 1977, 1991 and 2016 and to predict ...

Land Use/land Cover Mapping in Brazilian Amazon Using Neural Network with Aster/terra Data

The objective of this study is to show the applicability of the genetic synthesis of the unsupervised artificial neural network ART2 (Adaptive Resonance Theory) in the classification of ASTER image for land use/land cover mapping. The area under study is located in northern Mato Grosso State, Brazil, and is characterized by a strong human occupation process, which caused intensive changes at th...

Satellite Image Processing for Land Use and Land Cover Mapping

In this paper, urban growth of Bangalore region is analyzed and discussed by using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat satellite images. Urban growth analysis helps in understanding the change detection of Bangalore region. The change detection is studied over a period of 39 years and the region of interest covers an area of 2182 km 2 . The main cause for urban growth is the increase in p...

Collect Earth: Land Use and Land Cover Assessment through Augmented Visual Interpretation

Collect Earth is a free and open source software for land monitoring developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Built on Google desktop and cloud computing technologies, Collect Earth facilitates access to multiple freely available archives of satellite imagery, including archives with very high spatial resolution imagery (Google Earth, Bing Maps) and those ...
