The construction of a course focused on remote sensing is important because it cultivates college students' geographic abilities and popularizes remote sensing technology. Using internet datasets, this article compares data from general undergraduate courses at almost 100 universities located in the United States and China with 3 years of experimental teaching data from the general undergraduat...

Evaluating ecological patterns and processes is crucial for the conservation of ecosystems [1]. In this view, remote sensing is a powerful tool for monitoring their status and change. This involves several tasks like biodiversity estimate, landscape ecology, and species distribution modeling, to name a few [2]. Due to the difficulties associated with field-based data collection [3], the use of ...

this study aims to quantify the impacts of land use changes on ecosystem service value during large scale land development, and to provide key information for both economic development and policy makers for eco-environmental protection. the study area locates in manas river watershed which is a typical land development region in northwest china. landsat mss/tm/etm+ images in 1976, 1989, 1999 a...

urban expansion model (uem) was adapted to simulate urbanization which implements geospatial information systems (gis), artificial neural networks (anns) and remote sensing (rs). two satellite imageries with specific time interval, socio-economic and environmental variables have been employed in order to simulate urban expansion. socio-economic and environmental variables were used as inputs wh...

water plays a vital role in the development of activities in an area. the surface water resources are inadequate to fulfill the water demand. productivity through groundwater is quite high as compared to surface water, but groundwater resources have not yet been properly exploited. keeping this view, the present study attempts to select and delineate various groundwater potential zones for the ...

abstract in the recent decades, application of geostatistic and remote sensing for mapping salinity and sodicity of surface soil and monitoring it's changes have been developed. the goal of this research was to compare the capability of geostatistic and remote sensing methods for mapping salinity-sodicity of soils in playa from sourthern mah valat county, in the khorasan razavi province. 88 sam...

It is a challenging problem to efficiently interpret the large volumes of remotely sensed image data being collected in the current age of remote sensing “big data”. Although human visual interpretation can yield accurate annotation of remote sensing images, it demands considerable expert knowledge and is always time-consuming, which strongly hinders its efficiency. Alternatively, intelligent a...
