SATSTAT: Exploratory Analysis of Envisat-MERIS Data for Land Cover Mapping of Portugal in 2003
نویسندگان
چکیده
SatStat – Satellite derived Statistical data on forest-change area – project is being developed under the framework of the European Space Agency (ESA) Announce of Opportunities (AO) for Portugal. The goals of this AO are the promotion of Earth Observation (EO) data usage and the contribution to the development of applications for Global Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES). SatStat accomplishes both goals: producing a methodology to update land cover forest areas on an annual basis, with Envisat MERIS data.

Comparing pixel vs. object based classifiers for land cover mapping with Envisat- MERIS data
The work presented in this paper is part of SatStat project, which is being developed in e-Geo – Geography and Regional Planning Research Centre of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, under the framework of the European Space Agency (ESA) Announce of Opportunities for Portugal. The main goal of SatStat is to annual monitor forest areas using low resolution images. The imagery dataset includes an E...
متن کاملUsing Meris on Envisat for Land Cover Mapping
This paper describes the results of a study towards the use of MERIS for land cover mapping at a national scale, using the Netherlands as a test site. Full resolution MERIS data of February 18 2003, April 16 2003, June 16 2003 and July 14 2003 were used in this study. The Dutch land use database LGN was used as a reference by aggregating the database from 25 m to 300 m. Results showed very good...
متن کاملUse of Meris Data for Land Cover Mapping in the Netherlands
The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) is a payload component of Envisat-1. MERIS is operated over land with a standard 15 band setting acquiring images in the VIS and NIR part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Data are acquired at 300 m (full resolution) and 1200 m (reduced resolution) spatial resolution over land, thus vegetation can be monitored at regional to global scales. Major...
متن کاملUsing MERIS on Envisat for land cover mapping in the Netherlands
This paper describes the results of a feasibility study to test the usefulness of MERIS for land cover mapping. The Netherlands was used as a test site because of its highly fragmented landscape. Results showed that the geometric and radiometric properties of the studied MERIS images of the Netherlands are suitable for land applications. Calculation of principal components and correlation coeff...
متن کاملModeling Forest Productivity Using Envisat MERIS Data
The aim of this study was to derive land cover products with a 300-m pixelresolution of Envisat MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) to quantify netprimary productivity (NPP) of conifer forests of Taurus Mountain range along the EasternMediterranean coast of Turkey. The Carnegie-Ames-Stanford approach (CASA) was usedto predict annual and monthly regional NPP as modified by temperature...
