Key Design Issues with Visualising Images Using Google Earth
Using map visualisation tools and earth browsers to display images in a spatial context is integral to many photo-sharing sites and commercial image archives, yet little academic research has been conducted into the utility and functionality of such systems. In developing a prototype system to explore the use of Google Earth in the visualisation of news photos, we have elicited key design issue...
متن کاملVegetation Extraction from Free Google Earth Images of Deserts Using a Robust BPNN Approach in HSV Space
The high resolution and span diversity of colored Google Earth images are the main reasons for developing a vegetation extraction mechanism based on BPNN (Back Propagation Neural Networks) that can work efficiently with poor color images. This paper introduces a method based on neural networks that can efficiently recognize vegetation and discriminate its zone from the desert, urban, and roadst...
متن کاملFractional Vegetation Cover Estimation In Urban Environments
Quality of life in urban environments is closely related to vegetation cover. The Urban growth and its related environmental problems, planners are forced to implement policies to improve the quality of urban environment. Thus, vegetation mapping for planning and managing urban is critical. Given the spectral complexity of the urban environment and the sparse vegetation in these areas, to gener...
متن کاملEstimating Vegetation Coverage in Wheat Using Digital Images
No method exists to reliably predict percent vegetation coverage using indirect measures. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of digital image processing techniques applied to digital color, red-green-blue (RGB), images of crop canopies to estimate percent vegetation coverage and biomass. Two field experiments with winter wheat (Triticum aeslivum L.) "Tonkawa" were planted in October 1...
متن کاملA Flexible Method for Urban Vegetation Cover Measurement Based on Remote Sensing Images
Traditional methods use NDVI to investigate vegetation cover from remote sensing imagery. These methods provide per-pixel vegetation distribution, and cause a modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP), when a meaningful statistical result is issued. In this paper, a new method based on advanced segmentation techniques and classification is proposed for urban vegetation investigation extraction. This...
