Maps have been major sources of information for a long time. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use digital data, elevation models, satellite images, expert systems and related open source information for planning, detection, evaluation and decision making. Maps as well as GIS use spatial attributes of data in particular. Spatial Information derived is a feature of both data and language to c...

GRASS GIS (Geographical Resources Analysis Support System) is a free, open source software and has been used for Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) data analysis and visualization. Inside GRASS, different modules have been developed for processing satellite images. Currently, GRASS uses databases to handle large datasets and the performance and capabilities of GRASS for...

The most widely known remote-sensing data are satellite images (typically LANDSAT or other visible imagery), which are used in the geosciences for a multitude of applications, including landuse, urbanization, sea-ice expansion, to name only a few. Commonly, these remote-sensing data are analyzed with the help of commercial software systems (eg. ENVI, ERDAS-IMAGINE). Analysis methods employ the ...

Defined as any substance in the air that may harm humans, animals, vegetation, and materials, air pollution poses a great danger to human health. It has turned into a worldwide problem as well as a huge environmental risk. Recent years have witnessed the increase of air pollution in many cities around the world. Similarly, it has become a big problem in Iran. Although ground-level monitoring ca...

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...

nowadays, remote sensing comes under the title of management method for precision farming. for provision of the land cover and therefore land use map use must be made of satellite images. for an assessment of the type of agricultural crops it is required to have satellite images of high resolution. from specifications of the satellite images one is to produce maps with varied scales. in this re...
