Brownfields, idle or under-utilized urban areas, were identified in three parts of the Phoenix metropolitan area using a supervised classification technique using ERDAS Imagine. The brownfields were first evaluated in an area of south Phoenix used as a control site to establish sample training sites. These sites provided the basis for the supervised classification of an ASTER satellite image, w...

India being an agro-based economy, farmers experince alot of problem in detecting andpreventing diseases in fauna. So there is a necessacity in detecting diseases in fauna which proves to be effective and conviennent for researchers. Relying on pure naked-eye observation to detect and classify diseases can be very unprecise and cumbersome. The color and texture features are used to recognize an...
