This paper reports results of an experiment LRVE (Leaf Area Index Retrieval and Validation Experiment) that was conducted over agricultural areas of Central India during winter season of 2001-02, aimed at relating field measurements of LAI to space borne IRS LISS-III data, preparation of site-level LAI maps and validation of MODIS-based 1 km LAI global fields,. Measurements of fieldlevel LAI, a...

The paper presents a hybrid fuzzy classifier for effective land use land cover mapping. It discusses a Bayesian way of incorporating spatial contextual information into the Fuzzy Noise Classifier (FNC). The FNC was chosen, as it detects noise using spectral information more efficiently than its fuzzy counterparts. The spatial information at the level of second order pixel neighbourhood was mode...

This study demonstrates the potentials of IRS P6 LISS-IV high-resolution multispectral sensor (IGFOV 6 m)-based estimation of biomass in the deciduous forests in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, India. Regression equations describing the relationship between IRS P6 LISS-IV data-based vegetation index (NDVI) and field measured leaf area index (ELAI) and estimated above-ground biomass (EAGB) were ...

In recent years, new methods such as microtube column agglutination methods and microplate methods using automated instruments have been used for blood typing, antibody screening testing and crossmatching testing. However, no precise comparison study of the performance of these methods and conventional tube methods has been done. In the present study, we performed a comparison study on sensitiv...

A computer-aided 3-dimensional (3D) visualization operation simulation system based on computer-aided design (CAD) Unigraphics NX and Mimics software was established to provide orthopedic surgeons with an actual and reliable system in treating of distal femoral fracture.According to the preoperative CT data, 3D reconstruction of the distal femoral fracture could be achieved by the Mimics softwa...

in order to evaluate capability of the landsat-etm and irs-p6-liss iv images for canopy cover mapping a case study was done on the forests of javanroud in kermanshah province. after evaluation of the geometric and radiometric quality of the data, the etm+ images, the etm+ images were geometrically corrected with gcps and the images were registered with rmse error 0.46 and 0.48 pixels, for x and...

Resourcesat-1 satellite offers a unique opportunity of simultaneous observations at three different spatial scales through LISSIV, LISS-III (improved LISS-III) and AWiFS sensors from a common platform. The sensors have enhanced capabilities in terms of spectral, spatial and radiometric resolution as compared to earlier Indian Remote sensing Satellite sensors. This paper summarizes the results o...
