The study involves segmentation of the image using the three segmentation modules of three software namely ERDAS Imagine, ENVI and eCognition to extract building features. The best parameters for segmenting buildings have been established. New method of evaluation has been presented for evaluating segmentation quality. The results of three segmentation modules are assessed using the proposed ev...

A semiautomated method for objectively interpreting and extracting the land-water interface has been devised and used successfully to generate multiple shoreline data for the test States of Louisiana and Delaware. The method is based on the application of tasseled cap transformation coefficients derived by the EROS Data Center for Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Data, and is used in conjunct...

This article presents an evaluation of the ERDAS IMAGINE Spatial Model Editor from perspective effective cognition. Workflow models designed in are used for automatic processing remote sensing data. The process steps as a chain operations workflow model. functionalities and visual vocabulary both important users. cognitive quality increases comprehension workflows during creation utilization. i...

In this study, an application was carried out to determine the Volcanic Soils by using remote sensing. The study area was located on the Golcuk formation in Isparta-Turkey. The thermal bands of Landsat 7 image were used for processing. The implementation of the climate model that was based on the water index was used in ERDAS Imagine software together with pixel based image classification. Soil...

Evapotranspiration estimation has benefitted from recent advances in remote sensing and GIS techniques particularly in agricultural applications rather than urban environments. This paper explores the relationship between urban vegetation evapotranspiration (ET) and vegetation indices derived from newly-developed high spatial resolution WorldView-2 imagery. The study site was Veale Gardens in A...

Land use mapping is fundamental for assessment, managing and protection of natural resources of a region and the information on the existing land use is one of the prime pre-requisites for suggesting better use of terrain. Advances in satellite sensor and their analysis techniques are making remote sensing systems realistic and attractive for use in research and management of natural resources....
