چکیده

empirical models are important tools for relating field-measured biophysical variables to remotely sensed data. regression analysis has been a popular empirical method of linking these two types of data to estimate variables such as biomass, percent vegetation canopy cover, and bare soil. this study was conducted in a semi-arid rangeland ecosystem of qazvin province, iran. this paper presents the development of a regression model for predicting rangeland biophysical variables using the original image data of landsat tm nonthermal bands. the biophysical variables of interest within the rangeland ecosystem were percent vegetation canopy cover, bare soil extent, and stone and gravel which their correlations were analyzed in relation to landsat tm original data. the results of applying stepwise multiple regression showed that there is a significant correlation between landsat tm band 2 reflectance values and biophysical variables. the developed models were applied to landsat tm band 2 and relevant maps were generated. we concluded that such problems as an inexact location of field samples on the image, small size of samples, vegetation heterogeneity may significantly affect the modeling of real rangeland landsat tm data relationships.

Using Landsat Tm Data for Mapping of the Quaternary Deposits in Central Sweden

This paper summarises the use of digital remotely sensed data for Quaternary deposits mapping in central Sweden. Landsat TM scene of the beginning of May 1985 was applied. Only six groups of quaternary deposits were distinguished. The classification accuracy of the resultant map was about 50 % in average. Comparison was done with the existing map of Quaternary deposits.

Soil Clay Content Mapping Using a Time Series of Landsat TM Data in Semi-Arid Lands

Clay content (fraction < 2 μm) is one of the most important soil properties. It controls soil hydraulic properties like wilting point, field capacity and saturated hydraulic conductivity, which in turn control the various fluxes of water in the unsaturated zone. In our study site, the Kairouan plain in central Tunisia, existing soil maps are neither exhaustive nor sufficiently precise for water...

A Hierarchical Classificaton of Landsat Tm Imagery for Landcover Mapping

Information about current land-cover in forests is important for management and conservation of these areas. Up to the last decade traditional per pixel classification algorithms were used to be utilized in extracting land-cover information. However, they are poorly equipped to monitor land-cover in images acquired by current generation of satellite sensors with adequate accuracy. A good unders...

Image Restoration Using A PDE-Based Approach

 Image restoration is an essential preprocessing step for many image analysis applications. In any image restoration techniques, keeping structure of the image unchanged is very important. Such structure in an image often corresponds to the region discontinuities and edges. The techniques based on partial differential equations, such as the heat equations, are receiving considerable attention i...
