Developing Integrated Index for Evaluating the Urban Natural Environmental Quality from Remote Sensing Technology

Using Remote Sensing Technology for Environmental Pollution Detection in Iraq

In this article, the Environmental pollution in Iraq was studied by using the remote sensing techniques for the period (2010-2014). In general, the environmental pollution can be divided into three major parts: Air, Water, and soil pollutions. To overcome the problem, multi-satellite images with different resolution and bands at different dates were used to detect and quantize the source of pol...

Developing an Integrated System for Extracting the Sub-fields within Agricultural Parcels from Remote Sensing Images

An integrated system was developed to detect sub-fields within agricultural parcels from remote sensing images. The permanent field boundaries are known and stored in a database. The detection of the sub-fields is carried out on field-by-field basis. The fields are selected one-by-one through a database query. The remotely sensed image is filtered using the Canny edge detector. The detected edg...

evaluating quality seismic damage index for urban residential buildings

by identifying the damage index of a structure, in addition to a correct understanding from real behavior of the structure, the required criterion for strengthening would be given. researchers have given many relations for determination of damage index but such relations have been based upon laboratory methods which challenge their usage in a broad term. in this paper two new methods are given ...

Monitoring Urban Growth and Its Environmental Impacts Using Remote Sensing

Relationship between Environmental Quality and Economic Growth in Developing Countries (based on Environmental Performance Index)

In order to evaluate the development levels of countries, economic growth along with environmental quality account for important indices nowadays. The impacts of environmental quality (based on environmental performance index), the direct foreign investment, and trade openness on economic growth in selected developing countries have been scrutinized in the present study. In the present study th...
