The paper introduces a method of digital mapping of spatial distribution of soil typological units. It implements fuzzy k-means to classify the soil profile data (study area from the Považský Inovec Mountains, Slovakia) and regression-kriging with the selected digital terrain and remote sensing data to draw membership maps of soil typological units. Totally three soil typological units were ide...

abstract nowadays, fuzzy technique is used to prepare the map in different sciences, extensively. with due attention to important role of soil fertility in modern agriculture, the preparation of soil fertility map seems to be necessary to plan for appropriate using of fertilizers for crops. this study was conducted to prepare a distinct map for evaluating soil fertility according to soil availa...

a watermarking scheme for grayscale image isproposed based on a family of the chaotic maps and discretecosine transform. jacobian elliptic mapis employed to encrypt ofwatermarked logo. piecewise nonlinear chaotic map is also usedto determine the location of dct coefficients for the watermarkembedding. the purpose of this algorithm is to improve theshortcoming of watermarking such as small key s...

It is a fact that crops growth conditions vary greatly in the same field. Provisionally actual growth conditions are made up of many components, i.e. variation of natural conditions (climate & soil), results of effect of machinery on soil ( soil compaction) and unfavourable conditions for plant growing. In Estonia rather widely used ATV are causing remarkable damage to landscapes. All collected...

Satellite remote sensing and numerical modelling are important tools to quantify trends in the environment across Canada. This paper describes methodology and initial results for the production of a new 1-km resolution map of waterbody fraction and 10-km resolution maps of forest cover type (hardwood/softwood) required as input parameters to these approaches. The waterbody fraction map is deriv...

Planning for land use development, protection of good quality agricultural land, land degradation management and many other resource management issues requires reliable land resource information. Enhanced Resource Assessment (ERA) techniques were employed to rapidly assess and predict soil and landscape attributes throughout Cooloola Shire in South East Queensland. ERA uses landscape modelling ...
