A Geographical Information System (GIS) based method is proposed and demonstrated for the identification of sediment source areas and the prediction of storm sediment yield from catchments. Data from the Nagwa and Karso catchments in Bihar (India) have been used. The Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS) GIS package has been used for carrying out geographic analyses.

Analysis of multi/hyperspectral imagery necessitates a selection of an optimal subset of bands in order to avoid the Hughes phenomena and parameter estimation problems due to interband correlation. This can be achieved by employing feature extraction techniques for significant reduction of data dimensionality. From the perspective of statistical pattern recognition, feature extraction refers to...
