Evaluation of the Wetland Mapping Methods using Landsat ETM + and SRTM Data
Overarching goal of this paper was to evaluate automated and semi-automated methods of mapping wetlands using Landsat ETM+ and SRTM data. Automated methods consisted of: (a) slope derived from SRTM, (b) Tasseled cap Wetness Index (TCWI), (c) Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), (d) multi-band vegetation indices (MBVIs), (e) two band vegetation indices (TBVIs), (f) normalized difference veg...
متن کاملMultisensor earth observations to characterize wetlands and malaria epidemiology in Ethiopia
Malaria is a major global public health problem, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. The spatial heterogeneity of malaria can be affected by factors such as hydrological processes, physiography, and land cover patterns. Tropical wetlands, for example, are important hydrological features that can serve as mosquito breeding habitats. Mapping and monitoring of wetlands using satellite remote sensi...
متن کاملA Remote sensing approach for monitoring debris-covered glaciers in the high altitude Karakoram Himalayas
Debris-covered glaciers, unlike other types of glaciers, are difficult to map using visible and infrared imagery. Moreover, high altitude glaciers are difficult to map using fieldwork data due to the inaccessibility. In this study, supraglacial debris cover is mapped using Landsat TM and ETM+ images acquired from 1990 to 2010 and a digital elevation model (DEM) which is derived from Shuttle Rad...
متن کاملLULC Classification and Topographic Correction of Landsat-7 ETM+ Imagery in the Yangjia River Watershed: the Influence of DEM Resolution
DEM-based topographic corrections on Landsat-7 ETM+ imagery from rugged terrain, as an effective processing techniques to improve the accuracy of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) classification as well as land surface parameter retrievals with remotely sensed data, has been frequently reported in the literature. However, few studies have investigated the exact effects of DEM with different resolution...
متن کاملTowards Automated Dem Generation from High Resolution Stereo Satellite Images
High resolution stereo satellite imagery is well suited for the creation of digital surface models (DSM). In this paper, a system for highly automated DSM and orthoimage generation based on CARTOSAT-1 imagery is presented. The proposed system processes photometrically corrected level-1 stereo scenes using the rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) universal sensor model. The RPC are derived fro...
