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...

The main aim of the present study was to map of Urmia Lake water surface diminishing rates over a long-term period, and demonstrating the most recent surface of emerged salty alluvial plains. For this purpose, Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI imageries, observing from 1984 to 2015, were progressively processed to generate most of the thematic models in tempo-spatial context. All multi-date satellite da...

employing recent technological advances in surveying and mapping soil salinity is a step forward in controlling saline soils. the aim of this study was to map the topsoil salinity, the depth of 0-5 cm, using different methods within the environmental context of the area around tashk & bakhtegan lake, with the area of 8062 ha, that in this region soil salinity appears to be a major threat to agr...

Multi-sensor image fusion using the wavelet approach provides a conceptual framework for the improvement of the spatial resolution with minimal distortion of the spectral content of the source image. This paper assesses whether images with a large ratio of spatial resolution can be fused, and evaluates the potential of using such fused images for mapping the Brazilian Savanna. Three types of wa...

Soil Salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. Preparation of such maps is useful for Natural resource managers. Old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. Multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. This investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...

the changes in time and location of surface temperature from a water body has an important effect on climate activities, marine biology, sea currents, salinity and other characteristics of the seas and lakes water. traditional measurement of temperature is costly and time consumer due to its dispersion and instability. in recent years the use of satellite technology and remote sensing sciences ...

An autonomous navigation algorithm using the sensor that integrated the star sensor (FOV1) and ultraviolet earth sensor (FOV2) is presented. The star images are sampled by FOV1, and the ultraviolet earth images are sampled by the FOV2. The star identification algorithm and star tracking algorithm are executed at FOV1. Then, the optical axis direction of FOV1 at J2000.0 coordinate system is calc...

The increased demand for natural resources, economic growth and graph can influence the reduction of individual land use coverage, which makes water infiltration difficult. objective was to evaluate, through morphometric parameters land-use occupation, flooding susceptibility in Campestre creek watershed. An analysis indexes performed with help tools presented SPRING 5.4.3 software. characteris...

the purpose of this study was to determine the plant density of sugar beet fields in qazvin region using satellite images and remote sensing techniques. the plant density can be used to estimate the pre-harvest sugar beet yield and as a result the proper management of agricultural and industrial processes involved in sugar production. satellite data can be used to remove the cost and time of co...
