Combining Estimation of Green Vegetation Fraction in an Arid Region from Landsat 7 ETM+ Data

Drought Effects on Vegetation Changes in Kashkan Basin of Lorestan Using ETM + and OLI Landsat Data

Background and objectives: Vegetation is one of the most important elements of an ecosystem, which is directly related to the moisture conditions of the land. Estimation of plant drought indices such as VCI, TCI, VHI is an effective tool to assess the effects of drought by calculating NDVI. In this regard, several studies have been conducted that explain how to calculate and use these indicator...

Comparison of the Continuity of Vegetation Indices Derived from Landsat 8 OLI and Landsat 7 ETM+ Data among Different Vegetation Types

Landsat 8, the most recently launched satellite of the series, promises to maintain the continuity of Landsat 7. However, in addition to subtle differences in sensor characteristics and vegetation index (VI) generation algorithms, VIs respond differently to the seasonality of the various types of vegetation cover. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of these variations on VIs...

Block Adjustement of Landsat-7 Etm Images

This research study shows the potential of large image-block adjustment with nadir viewing sensor images. The method uses the geometric correction system developed for multi-source images at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing. The results with 15 Landsat-7 ETM images show that the same accuracy can be obtained with a large image block than with a single image using the same number of ground c...
