The Change of Land Cover/Land Use in Ejina Oasis over 20 Years

Land use and land cover change have been of great concern in global change research in recent years. Base on comparison with the remote sensing data in1982 and 2000 and field investigation, the results of land cover and land use change were obtained by the method of landscape analysis. Ten types of land use were identified: riparian woods, riparian shrubbery, desert shrubbery, desert grassland,...

Land cover validation game

Land cover data constitutes highly useful information to monitor the extension and status of land resources, hence it has been realized how important it is to have accurate land cover data. Here, an interactive WebGIS is built in order to validate GlobeLand30 global land cover data. The Game with a Purpose (GWAP) human-based computation technique is adopted. The system is based on crowdsourcing...

Sequential Land Cover Classification

Land cover classification using remotely sensed data is a critical first step in large-scale environmental monitoring, resource management and regional planning. The classification task is made difficult by severe atmospheric scattering and absorption, seasonal variation, spatial dependence, complex surface dynamics and geometries, and large intra-class variability. Most of the recent research ...

Land Cover of Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Initiative for Statewide Cooperation on Landscape Analysis and Data (WISCLAND) is a consortium of government and private organizations formed in 1993 to promote development of digital geographic data for the state. The initial focus of the consortium was to acquire funding and resources to develop a land cover classification. That effort has now been completed statewide. This docu...
