capability assessment of ikonos images for urban vegetation mapping

high-resolution imagery such as ikonos satellite can produce useful information for many resource management applications. we investigated the capability of pan and multi spectral ikonos imagery of one region of tehran dated from 2005 in urban vegetation management and mapping of green cover. after data quality of images for radiometric noises, the images were geometrically corrected by polynom...

Remote sensing technology for mapping and monitoring vegetation cover (Case study: Semirom-Isfahan, Iran)

To determine the suitable indices for vegetation cover and production assessment based on the remote sensing data, simultaneous digital data with field data belonging to the spring rangeland of the Semirom-Isfahan province were analyzed. During two years of monitoring the annual, grass, forb, and shrub vegetation cover and the total production data from 86 were collected. The Global Positioning...

Mapping and Monitoring of Vegetation using Airborne Laser Scanning

In this thesis, the utility of airborne laser scanning (ALS) for monitoring vegetation of relevance for the environmental sector was investigated. The vegetation characteristics studied include measurements of biomass, biomass change and vegetation classification in the forest-tundra ecotone; afforestation of grasslands; and detection of windthrown trees. Prediction of tree biomass for mountain...
