Land cover plays a significant role in the earth system science, which reflects the influence of human activities and environmental changes (Sellers et al., 1997; IGBP, 1990; Aspinall et al, 2004). In China, Many land use/cover maps can be used in recent years derived from remote sensing observation. These data will be whether or how combined effectively to produce better land cover map that is...

Various classification methods have been applied for low resolution of the entire Earth's surface from recorded satellite images, but insufficient study has determined which method, for which satellite data, is economically viable for tropical forest land use mapping. This study employed Iterative Self Organizing Data Analysis Techniques (ISODATA) and K-Means classification techniques to classi...

This paper will show one way to generate land use maps from register data. The register data used here is the Danish Building and Dwelling Register (BBR). The thematic result map showing urban land use will be based on a regular grid net with cell size of 100 m by 100 m. Each cell will be classified, based on the information on the buildings falling inside that cell. This paper will also presen...

Changes in land use and land cover can lead to irreversible changes in forests that result in overall reductions in biodiversity and loss of elements of high ecological and cultural value. Land use and cover change models can be an important resource for scientists to develop a sustainable land management program. This paper presents a method to assess the accuracy of a forestation predictive m...

extended abstract 1. introduction land as habitat and place of having the highest importance in human life and the source of all human needs is. any planning requires having information about the phenomena on the land, trappings and paraphernalia land. this information collected is an issue that eventually will lead to the management of land information in one system. organization and operation...

According to the fundamental goal of remote sensing technology, the image classification of desired sensors can be introduced as the most important part of satellite image interpretation. There exist various algorithms in relation to the supervised land use classification that the most pertinent one should be determined. Therefore, this study has been conducted to determine the best and most su...

abstract many researchers have recently considered the use of data obtained from remote sensing (r.s) to reveal changes. in the present study, we have attempted to reveal the morphodynamic changes in taleghan river basin through image satellite and by analyzing the principal component analysis (pca) and fuzzy logic. the final map indicates the intensity of changes through, 15-years interval obs...

In this research the Preparation of Land use map of scanner LISS III satellite data, belonging to the IRS in the Aghche region in Isfahan province, is studied carefully. For this purpose, the IRS satellite images of August 2008 and various land preparation uses in region including rangelands, irrigation farming, dry farming, gardens and urban areas were separated and identified. Therefore, the ...
