Triggered by earthquakes, rainfall, or anthropogenic activities, landslides represent widespread and problematic geohazards worldwide. In recent years, multiple remote sensing techniques, including synthetic aperture radar, optical, and light detection and ranging measurements from spaceborne, airborne, and ground-based platforms, have been widely applied for the analysis of landslide processes...

given the critical role played by urban green spaces and the emergence of remote sensing as avaluable natural resource management tool, this study sought to identify trends in green spaces within thecontext of south africa’s transition period (1990 - 2000). using the city of port elizabeth as a case study, threesets of landsat - 5 thematic mapper images (1990, 1995 and 2000) were geo-processed,...

nowadays the science of remote sensing and satellite data, constitute modern scientific tools,as they provide important information and make research easier in many scientific fields. this research articlepresents an integrated system for continuous monitoring of the vegetation and the human impact on the natura2000 protected areas of strofilia forest and kotychi lagoon (natura 2000 codes: gr 2...

this study was carried out to determine nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents of rangeland plants using spectral reflectance value. the measurements were made in 1 m2 area of different parts of a rangeland. a portable spectroradiometer capable of measuring the wavelength range of 325-1,075 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum was used to collect spectral data. spectral measurements were ma...

anomaly detection (ad) has recently become an important application of target detection in hyperspectral images. the reed-xialoi (rx) is the most widely used ad algorithm that suffers from “small sample size” problem. the best solution for this problem is to use dimensionality reduction (dr) techniques as a pre-processing step for rx detector. using this method not only improves the detection p...

snow cover area is one of the most important criteria to calculate snow melt runoff. this can have an effect on the biology of the plant and the environment of a region. using the catchment basin physical characteristic to calculate snow cover area is a conventional method, though its accuracy is not good enough. most of the useful methods in calculating snow cover area are based on satellite i...

the primary objective of the current study is to produce karstification potentiality maps in northeast of khuzestan province, iran, using both fuzzy logic and ahp models as an additional tool in hydrogeological research. geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) are used to create two maps depicting the development of the karstification, consisting of five classes, showing th...

because of large-scale dry regions, salt marsh monitoring is necessary using of remote sensing data's. the aim of this study is to monitor salt kashan using of satellite data's processing. therefore, the satellite images of lissiii sensor were used. initially, the technique of color composite images envi4.8 software was used to clearly distinguish salt. then, principal component analy...

remote sensing can be used as a powerful tool by using data from different sources and combine them for vegetation and land cover classification. pasture type classification provides key information for analysis of agricultural productivity, carbon accounting and biodiversity. the first data set that used in this study landsat tm (thematic mapper) optical image and the second envisat asar radar...
