Lineament mapping in a tropical environment using Landsat imagery

Lineament Mapping in Northern Sweden from Landsat Images Using Orthogonal Image Transforms

Interpretation of Tropical Vegetation Using Landsat Etm+ Imagery

Monitoring of tropical forest is important as it plays a vital role in Global biodiversity and terrestrial carbon dynamics. Remote sensing can be effectively used to monitor the tropical vegetation. However, an operational tool for interpretation and monitoring of tropical forest has not yet well developed. Therefore, the current study aimed to generate an interpretation key and a spectral libr...

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....

Automated 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 ...

Phenology-Based Method for Mapping Tropical Evergreen Forests by Integrating of MODIS and Landsat Imagery

Updated extent, area, and spatial distribution of tropical evergreen forests from inventory data provides valuable knowledge for research of the carbon cycle, biodiversity, and ecosystem services in tropical regions. However, acquiring these data in mountainous regions requires labor-intensive, often cost-prohibitive field protocols. Here, we report about validated methods to rapidly identify t...
