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...

remote sensing techniques are known as very useful methods for studying land use management in arid and semi arid areas, where undeveloped soils are dominant. these techniques can be used for determining different environmental characteristics including soil and vegetations. in this study etm+ band ratios and principal component analysis (pca) were used for monitoring of vegetation cover and it...

While in the field of hydrology remote sensing techniques are often applied and well accepted there is still a deficit in the use of remote sensing techniques in the field of planning, design and operation of water resources systems. It is the aim of this paper to overcome this deficit and encourage water managers to use remote sensing techniques more widely. In order to achieve this, several s...

In this paper different types of image classification will be studied. Decision level fusion, using a specific criterion or algorithm to integrate the classified results from different classifiers, has shown great benefits to improve classification accuracy of multi-source remote sensing images. Based on a survey to hyperspectral remote sensing classification techniques and decision level fusio...

abstract evapotranspiration (et) determination is a key factor for irrigation scheduling, water balance, irrigation system design and management and crop yields simulation. therefore many scientists have tried to estimate evapotranspiration in different spatial and temporal scales. remote sensing is a one of new technique in estimation of et in regional scales. so, in this study it’s tried to e...
