A Comparative Study of SVM and RF Methods for Classification of Alteration Zones Using Remotely Sensed Data
Identification and mapping of the significant alterations are the main objectives of the exploration geochemical surveys. The field study is time-consuming and costly to produce the classified maps. Therefore, the processing of remotely sensed data, which provide timely and multi-band (multi-layer) data, can be substituted for the field study. In this study, the ASTER imagery is used for altera...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of vegetation indices using remotely sensed data
Vegetation is one of the most important components of the ecosystems. Knowledge about variations in vegetation species and community distribution patterns, alternations in vegetation phonological (growth) cycles, and modifications in plant physiology and morphology provide a valuable insight in to the climate, geologic and physiographic, characteristics of an area, so mapping vegetation cover i...
متن کاملA model-based approach for mapping rangelands covers using Landsat TM image data
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 t...
متن کاملMapping Forest Fuels through Vegetation Phenology: The Role of Coarse-Resolution Satellite Time-Series
Traditionally fuel maps are built in terms of 'fuel types', thus considering the structural characteristics of vegetation only. The aim of this work is to derive a phenological fuel map based on the functional attributes of coarse-scale vegetation phenology, such as seasonality and productivity. MODIS NDVI 250 m images of Sardinia (Italy), a large Mediterranean island with high frequency of fir...
