this study was carried out to determine nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents of rangeland plants using spectral reflectance value. the measurements were made in 1 m2 area of different parts of a rangeland. a portable spectroradiometer capable of measuring the wavelength range of 325-1,075 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum was used to collect spectral data. spectral measurements were ma...

anomaly detection (ad) has recently become an important application of target detection in hyperspectral images. the reed-xialoi (rx) is the most widely used ad algorithm that suffers from “small sample size” problem. the best solution for this problem is to use dimensionality reduction (dr) techniques as a pre-processing step for rx detector. using this method not only improves the detection p...

snow cover area is one of the most important criteria to calculate snow melt runoff. this can have an effect on the biology of the plant and the environment of a region. using the catchment basin physical characteristic to calculate snow cover area is a conventional method, though its accuracy is not good enough. most of the useful methods in calculating snow cover area are based on satellite i...

the primary objective of the current study is to produce karstification potentiality maps in northeast of khuzestan province, iran, using both fuzzy logic and ahp models as an additional tool in hydrogeological research. geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) are used to create two maps depicting the development of the karstification, consisting of five classes, showing th...

because of large-scale dry regions, salt marsh monitoring is necessary using of remote sensing data's. the aim of this study is to monitor salt kashan using of satellite data's processing. therefore, the satellite images of lissiii sensor were used. initially, the technique of color composite images envi4.8 software was used to clearly distinguish salt. then, principal component analy...

remote sensing can be used as a powerful tool by using data from different sources and combine them for vegetation and land cover classification. pasture type classification provides key information for analysis of agricultural productivity, carbon accounting and biodiversity. the first data set that used in this study landsat tm (thematic mapper) optical image and the second envisat asar radar...

Compressed sensing provides a new sampling theory for data acquisition, which says that compressible signals can be exactly reconstructed from highly incomplete sets of linear measurements. It is significant to many applications, e.g., medical imaging and remote sensing, especially for measurements limited by physical and physiological constraints, or extremely expensive. In this paper we propo...

We discuss a prototype multiplatform system to perform remote sensing and control of physical variables i.e. temperature, based on the use of the parallel port, application software developed on java and gnu software, working on old recycled computers Pentium II (now considered as computer garbage or e-waste). In this paper, we analyze the electronic circuit that allows sensing until sixteen mu...

abstract this research was conducted in the pegah - sorkh sub-catchments area, a semi-arid region in sw iran, using geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) to compare the erosion potential method (epm) and modified pacific southwest interagency committee (mpsiac) models in erosion-potential mapping and sediment yield assessment. the study area with approximately 4600 ha sho...
