Classifying scenes (such as mountains, forests) is not an easy task owing to their variability, ambiguity, and the wide range of illumination and scale conditions that may apply. Bag of features (BoF) model have achieved impressive performances in many famous databases(such as the 15 scene dataset). A main drawback of the BoF model is it disregards all information about the spatial layout of th...

Tree height is a fundamental parameter for describing the forest situation which can be determined by different means. In this paper a novel region based forest change detection method is proposed using panchromatic CARTOSAT-1 stereo imagery. In the first step, DSMs from two dates are generated based on a new dense matching methodology called semi-global matching. To achieve reliable change det...

abstract recognition of effective factors on landslide occurrence and so high and low hazard region is one of the most important and necessary works for mitigation of landslide damages. in this study, from all of the effective factors on landslide occurrence, land use changes and road construction, into a parts of tadjan watershed with area about 708.08 square kilometers in south of sari, was s...

Dams have been always considered as the important infrastructures and their critical values are counted. Hence, evaluation and avoidance of dams’ destruction have a specific importance. Seepage occurrence in dams is an inevitable phenomenon. Despite all the progress in geotechnical engineering, up to now, seepage problem is the main conflict which occurs in dams. This study tried to estimate se...

climate change phenomenon is an important environmental challenge of the world. increasing extension of greenhouse gases and remote relationship phenomena accelerate the speed f climate change. changes in precipitation level, drought occurrence and changes in the level of surface and groundwater resources are the recognized consequences of climate change. in order to study consequences of clima...
