Military Terrain Trafficability Analysis for North-East Nigeria: A GIS and Remote Sensing-Based Approach

Remote Sensing of Soil Trafficability Factors

Analyzing Land Use/Land Cover Changes Using Remote Sensing and GIS in Rize, North-East Turkey

Mapping land use/land cover (LULC) changes at regional scales is essential for a wide range of applications, including landslide, erosion, land planning, global warming etc. LULC alterations (based especially on human activities), negatively effect the patterns of climate, the patterns of natural hazard and socio-economic dynamics in global and local scale. In this study, LULC changes are inves...

Terrain Trafficability Characterization with a Mobile Robot

Most research on off-road mobile robot sensing focuses on obstacle negotiation, path planning, and position estimation. These issues have conventionally been the foremost factors limiting the performance and speeds of mobile robots. Very little attention has been paid to date to the issue of terrain trafficability, that is, the terrain’s ability to support vehicular traffic. Yet, trafficability...

Remote Sensing and GIs for Urban Growth Analysis in China

The progress of urban remote sensing and GIS in China since the early 1980s is reviewed. The first section introduces the early applications of remote sensing to environmental monitoring and resources investigation, and outlines its achievements. The second section focuses on further analysis of urban expansion from the point of view of spatial distribution patterns and temporal change, taking ...

Large Databases for Remote Sensing and GIS

The utilization of remotely sensed data from aircraft and satellites have evolved over the years. Broadly, the steps involve image analysis. mapping. co-registration with other spatial and aspatial data sources and information extraction for decision support systems. InitialIy, each of these steps were independent activities. involving manual manipulation of analog data. However, with the adven...
