The aim of this study was to determine whether remotely sensed data could be used to identify rice-related malaria vector breeding habitats in an irrigated rice growing area near Niono, Mali. Early stages of rice growth show peak larval production, but Landsat sensor data are often obstructed by clouds during the early part of the cropping cycle (rainy season). In this study, we examined whethe...

The Ou River, a medium-sized river in the southeastern China, is examined to study estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) response rapidly varied discharge, i.e., peak discharge (PRD). This analyzes difference ETM and sediment transport mechanisms between low-discharge PRD during neap spring tides by using Finite-Volume Community Ocean Model. three-dimensional model validated in-situ measurements fr...

Based on canonical correlation analysis the iteratively re-weighted multivariate alteration detection (MAD) method is used to successfully perform unsupervised change detection in bi-temporal Landsat ETM+ images covering an area with villages, woods, agricultural fields and open pit mines in North RhineWestphalia, Germany. A link to an example with ASTER data to detect change with the same meth...

Information about an area and its distribution of planted and harvested paddy rice field is essential for food security management, water resource management, and for the estimation of gas emissions. Rice field has specific coverage characteristics throughout its life time. Its coverage is mixed proportionally in accordance with its age, between water, soil, and rice vegetation. Landsat ETM+ ha...

The broad development of integrated heat and electricity systems (IHES) improved the energy utilization efficiency, but it also increased risk cascaded accidents difficulty operation. security region that defines permitted operation range is efficient for planning control IHESs, while accurate formulation boundary renders its applications. To address this problem, article first proposes a novel...

Improvements in the protocols and approaches used for the inflight radiometric calibration and validation of imaging sensors using the reflectance-based method has led to the feasibility of this method for the intercomparison of multiple sensors. The philosophy presented here is different than the typical cross-calibration techniques used successfully since the 1980s in that it does not require...

The thematic maps derived from remotely-sensed images are invaluable sources of information for various investigations since they provide spatial and temporal information about the nature of Earth surface materials and objects. The robustness of classification techniques used to produce these thematic maps can be crucial especially for complex classification problems. This study aims to determi...

Landslides are one kind of slopes processes have been take place in some area at worldwide and Iran every year, and they are associated with damaged, many people are harmed and losses their properties. The aim of this research landslide hazard assessment in central zab basin in the southwest mountainsides of West-Azerbaijan province, Iran by using information layers and effective factors in lan...

In this paper, urban growth of Bangalore region is analyzed and discussed by using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat satellite images. Urban growth analysis helps in understanding the change detection of Bangalore region. The change detection is studied over a period of 39 years and the region of interest covers an area of 2182 km 2 . The main cause for urban growth is the increase in p...
