Landsat ETM+ and MODIS EVI/NDVI Data Products for ClimaticVariation and Agricultural Measurements in Cholistan Desert
نویسنده
چکیده
The Landsat ETM+ has shown great potential in agricultural mapping and monitoring due to its advantages over traditional receive procedures in terms of cost effectiveness and timeliness in availability of information over larger areas and ingredient the temporal dependence of multitemporal image data to identify the changing pattern of vegetation cover and consequently enhance the interpretation capabilities. Integration of multi-sensor and multitemporal satellite data effectively improves the temporal attribute and accuracy of the results. Since 2000, NASA's MODIS sensors (onboard Terra satellite) has provided composite data at 16days interval to produce estimates of gross primary production (GPP) that compare well with direct measurements. The MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which are independent of climatic drivers, also appears as valuable surrogate for estimation of seasonal patterns in GPP.

Spectral vegetation indices performance evaluated for Cholistan Desert
To enhance the vegetation signal in remotely sensed data and provide an approximate measure of live green vegetation, a number of spectral vegetation indices have been developed to estimate biophysical parameters of vegetation. The sensitivity of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to the soil background and atmospheric effects has generated an increasing interest in the developme...

This work modelled the spatial distribution of the rodent species that act as hosts in the transmission cycle of the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. The rodent distribution was modelled in relation to landscape characteristics in four ways, using (1) a Landsat ETM+ derived hard classification, (2) single-image Landsat ETM+ derived NDVI, (3) single-image MODIS 16-day composite ND...

Although several types of satellite data provide temporal information of the land use at no cost, digital satellite data applications for agricultural studies are limited compared to applications for forest management. This study assessed the suitability of vegetation indices derived from the TERRA-Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor and SPOT-VEGETATION (VGT) sensor for...

Medium Resolution NDVI( Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) from different sensor systems such as Landsat, SPOT, ASTER, CBERS and HJ-1A/1B satellites provide detailed spatial information for studies of ecosystems, vegetation biophysics, and land cover. Limitation of sensor designs, cloud contamination, and sensor failure highlighted the need to normalize and integrate NDVI from multiple sen...
متن کاملCo-registeration and Inter-sensor Comparison of Modis and Landsat 7 Etm+ Data Aimed at Ndvi Calculation
To evaluate accuracy of low resolution vegetation mapping for hydrological purposes, a comparative study of NDVI images derived from MODIS and Landsat 7 ETM+ data has been done. Main goal is to understand how effective MODIS images can be for vegetation characterization on large areas, as compared to the Landsat 7 ETM+ ones. In this paper a methodology is proposed with the aim of measuring the ...
