Water plays a vital role in the development of activities in an area. The surface water resources are inadequate to fulfill the water demand. Productivity through groundwater is quite high as compared to surface water, but groundwater resources have not yet been properly exploited. Keeping this view, the present study attempts to select and delineate various groundwater potential zones for the ...

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 mahabad river watershed has been exposed to severe erosion as a result of landuse change. the aim of this study is to quantify the amount of sediment yield and the relationship between land use change and slope. different sources such as geologic and topographic maps, satellite images, hydrometric as well as meteorological data were used to extract and gather the information needed for this...

In this paper, the El-Hames empirical method was used to determine the peak runoff flow in Iranshahr catchment. The El-Hames method is based on morphological parameters and SCS Curve Number of the studied area. The implementing was processed by collecting the required data including soil type and vegetation cover, land use maps, digital elevation model and satellite images from the associated i...

Due to the effect of aerosols present in the atmosphere on the satellite images, the study of the effect of local aerosols distribution on the satellite images is important. On the other hand, the study shows that the effect of aerosols on the greenhouse gases and consequently on climate is also undeniable and as a result, this puts more emphasize on the necessity of this study. Lack of informa...

one of the most important information in urban forestry is acquaintance of urban landscape’s area or proportion. nowadays, in several countries variable methods are used to achieve this aim. since there is not any complete method to study urban forest’s status in iran, it is impossible to exert authentic management for these resources. hence, in this research, sampling methods and ikonos satell...

. Paraphrasing Olivier Faugeras in the foreword of [1], making a robot see is still an unsolved and challenging task after several decades of research. The traditional research has been based on the geometric models of multiple views of a scene, estimating a sparse 3D map of the scene and the camera pose. Recent advances have led to fully dense and real-time 3D reconstructions. Also, there are ...

the major aim of processing satellite images is to prepare topical and effectivemaps. the selection of appropriate classification methods plays an important role. amongvarious methods existing for image classification, artificial neural network method is ofhigh accuracy. in present study, tm images of 1987, and etm+ images of 2000 and 2006were analyzed using artificial fuzzy artmap neural netwo...
