Satellite imagery detection of land destruction in Klapanunggal Karst Landscape induced by limestone surface mining

assessment of land-cover change in South part of Lake Urmia using satellite imagery

Study of land use/cover changes is widely used in environmental planning. During the last decade, growing increase of aridity in Uromiyah Basin has become a major regional and even national problem. The purpose of this study is to reveal the changes in land use/cover in the southern and southeastern parts of the basin with using 2 images for month of July of 2000 to 2017. Landsat TM and OLI dat...

PLATO for Information Mining in Satellite Imagery

Satellite images are numerous and weakly exploited: it is urgent to develop an efficient and fast indexing/retrieval system to easy their access. Content-Based Image Retrieval systems (CBIR) are known to provide an efficient framework. We thus propose to associate a CBIR approach with text-based queries to adapt to these big (12000×12000 pixels) and semantically rich images. The presented syste...

Evaluation of land degradation trend using satellite imagery and climatic data (Case study: Fars province)

Introduction: Climate change and human activities have a direct impact on land vegetation. Decreased rainfall and increased temperature are among the climate change factors leading to significant changes in water resources and energy balance in affected areas. On the other hand, human activities such as growing population, overgrazing and land use changes that make change in land conditions, al...

Population Estimation Mining Using Satellite Imagery

Many countries around the world regularly collect census data. This census data provides statistical information regarding populations to in turn support decision making processes. However, traditional approaches to the collation of censes data are both expensive and time consuming. The analysis of high resolution satellite imagery provides a useful alternative to collecting census data which i...
