Since warning of the global warming by carbon dioxide, the biomass distribution of forest has been concerned and its study has been requested. Much expectation has focused on the remote sensing corresponding to wide area. We noticed small area and estimated the spatial distribution of the forest volume using the actual GIS and remote sensing data. We comprehended the spatial distribution of the...

In response to the major changes taking place across the Arctic climatic, environmental, economic, social, industrial there is an increasing need for improved land cover/land use change information, especially remotely sensed data, by indigenous reindeer herders on the characterization of pasture quality and migratory routes, such as vegetation distribution, snow cover, infrastructure developme...

We have used cellular automata integrated with GIS and remote sensing to analyze urban sprawl aiming at analyzing expansion of potential unauthorized land uses for residential, commercial and industrial based on spatial factor deriving from remote sensing high resolution data. The spatial factors considered are used as parameter to measure either land use in these expansion process develop as u...

The progress of remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS) and global position system (GPS) in China since the early 1980s.The first section introduces the applications of remote sensing to environmental monitoring and resources investigation in tourism. The second section focuses on further analysis of the applications of geographic information system from the point of view of vi...

Change detection is the measure of the distinct data framework and thematic change information that can guide to more tangible insights into underlying process involving land cover and land use changes than the information obtained from continuous change. Digital change detection is the process that helps in determining the changes associated with landuse and land cover properties with referenc...

The use of remote sensing imagery to obtain land cover and land use maps is a common task in GIS applications. Segmentation techniques identify closed regions in images, producing vector datasets composed by polygons. Since segmentation is a bottom-up technique, the resulting vector datasets are often too detailed. Thus, we need to use generalization techniques to reduce data storage and genera...
