Mapping the Philippines’ Mangrove Forests Using Landsat Imagery
Current, accurate, and reliable information on the areal extent and spatial distribution of mangrove forests in the Philippines is limited. Previous estimates of mangrove extent do not illustrate the spatial distribution for the entire country. This study, part of a global assessment of mangrove dynamics, mapped the spatial distribution and areal extent of the Philippines' mangroves circa 2000....
متن کاملMapping Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau with Landsat Imagery and Object-based Image Analysis
The Tibetan Plateau, the world’s largest orogenic plateau, hosts thousands of lakes that play a prominent role as water resources, environmental archives, and sources of natural hazards such as glacier lake outburst floods. Previous studies reported that the size of the lakes on the Tibetan Plateau has been changing rapidly in recent years, possibly because of contemporary global warming. Track...
متن کاملAutomated Crop Type Mapping from Landsat Imagery
Knowledge of the spatial distribution of crop types is important for many environmental and human health research studies. These studies may require crop type maps over large geographical regions for multiple years, which can be derived only from satellite images. Interpretation of Landsat images using traditional image classification techniques is not feasible for such applications because of ...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Classificaton of Landsat Tm Imagery for Landcover Mapping
Information about current land-cover in forests is important for management and conservation of these areas. Up to the last decade traditional per pixel classification algorithms were used to be utilized in extracting land-cover information. However, they are poorly equipped to monitor land-cover in images acquired by current generation of satellite sensors with adequate accuracy. A good unders...
متن کاملMapping burn severity in a disease-impacted forest landscape using Landsat and MASTER imagery
Global environmental change has increased forest vulnerability to the occurrence of interacting disturbances, including wildfires and invasive diseases. Mapping post-fire burn severity in a disease-affected forest often faces challenges because burned and infested trees may exhibit a high similarity in spectral reflectance. In this study, we combined (preand post-fire) Landsat imagery and (post...
