study of terrain including vegetation, water resources, land types including soil texture and classification are cases that require data with high precision. accurate and high quality data can lead us to a better, more accurate results.in this context, remote sensing data is a great tool for the detection and identification of patterns. sebal (surface energy balance algorithm) is a relatively n...

Today more than ever, archeological research is interdisciplinary: environmental sciences, pollen analysis, botany, soil science, and hydrology. In fact, the impacts of human behaviors on environment and environment on human behaviors can be studied through use of remote sensing technology. The use of this important technique gives archaeologists the opportunity to understand these impacts, whi...

For mapping, quantifying and monitoring regional and global forest health, satellite remote sensing provides fundamental data for the observation of spatial and temporal forest patterns and processes. While new remote-sensing technologies are able to detect forest data in high quality and large quantity, operational applications are still limited by deficits of in situ verification. In situ sam...

The studied region in this research (Alborz province) is structurally located in Alborz poly_orogenic system of northern Iran. The purpose of this research is combining the remote sensing and geology sciences to show fault lineaments by analyzing satellite data in a vast region and also comparison between lineaments layer and recognized faults in geology maps. Firstly, two scenes of Landsat ETM...

Advantages of Computer Visualization Varying scales and map space • Zoom-in, zoom-out, pan (roam) tools Increased capability and flexibility • Can show continuous gradations of color, texture, tone; • Can show 3-D using stereoscopic technology and pairs of images; • Increased speed and flexibility for visualization; Multi-medium maps are possible • Sounds • Video chips • Smell? • Query & answer...

This chapter deals with the integration of remote sensing data for national forest inventories. It will give a basic understanding of how remote sensing can be integrated in national forest inventories (NFA) and what aspects are important. It will give an overview of different remote sensing systems, data types, the advantages and disadvantages as well as future developments. Remote sensing dat...

To determine the suitable indices for vegetation cover and production assessment based on the remote sensing data, simultaneous digital data with field data belonging to the spring rangeland of the Semirom-Isfahan province were analyzed. During two years of monitoring the annual, grass, forb, and shrub vegetation cover and the total production data from 86 were collected. The Global Positioning...

drought is a natural disaster. because a significant impact on the agricultural and economy sector, it affects the lives of local residents. with using of the remote sensing, drought can be studied through its effects on plants and agriculture resulting in more accurate and effective results found for modeling drought. in this study, the efficiency of agricultural drought indicators for estimat...

one of the influential tools concerning the rangeland and vegetation sciences isthe technology of remote sensing and satellite data. satellite data have played essentialroles in preparing the needed information for studying the vegetation. vegetation has beenwidely recognized as one of the best indicators for determining the land conditions. usingvegetation indices is one of the techniques of r...
