Performance evaluation of vegetation indices using remotely sensed data
Vegetation is one of the most important components of the ecosystems. Knowledge about variations in vegetation species and community distribution patterns, alternations in vegetation phonological (growth) cycles, and modifications in plant physiology and morphology provide a valuable insight in to the climate, geologic and physiographic, characteristics of an area, so mapping vegetation cover i...
متن کاملRemote sensing imagery in vegetation mapping: a review
Aims Mapping vegetation through remotely sensed images involves various considerations, processes and techniques. Increasing availability of remotely sensed images due to the rapid advancement of remote sensing technology expands the horizon of our choices of imagery sources. Various sources of imagery are known for their differences in spectral, spatial, radioactive and temporal characteristic...
متن کاملA model-based approach for mapping rangelands covers using Landsat TM image data
Empirical models are important tools for relating field-measured biophysical variables to remotely sensed data. Regression analysis has been a popular empirical method of linking these two types of data to estimate variables such as biomass, percent vegetation canopy cover, and bare soil. This study was conducted in a semi-arid rangeland ecosystem of Qazvin province, Iran. This paper presents t...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of SVM and RF Methods for Classification of Alteration Zones Using Remotely Sensed Data
Identification and mapping of the significant alterations are the main objectives of the exploration geochemical surveys. The field study is time-consuming and costly to produce the classified maps. Therefore, the processing of remotely sensed data, which provide timely and multi-band (multi-layer) data, can be substituted for the field study. In this study, the ASTER imagery is used for altera...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal analysis of remotely sensed Landsat time series data for monitoring 32 years of urbanization
The world is witnessing a dramatic shift of settlement pattern from rural to urban population, particularly in developing countries. The rapid Addis Ababa urbanization reflects this global phenomenon and the subsequent socio-economic and environmental impacts, are causing massive public uproar and political instability. The objective of this study was to use remotely sensed Landsat data to iden...
