the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessitiescreates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) i...

quantitative identification of physical changes, developments and dynamic position of urban green space is considered as the first step in its planning. by means of the aerial photos taken in 1956, 1974, and 1994 as well as the quick bird satellite image captured in 2006, this study has dealt with changes in per capita green space in khorramabad during these years. first, geometric corrections ...

in recent years, acquiring information of remote sensing data, especially satellite data has excessively increased and several methods are presented in order to improve the quality of remote sensing studies in earth sciences. it is possible to manage many projects and provide different types of thematic maps in a short period of time, and a low cost by utilizing satellite data and gis method. r...

Assessing species richness and diversity on the basis of standardised field sampling effort represents a cost- and time-consuming method. Satellite remote sensing (RS) can help overcome these limitations because it facilitates the collection of larger amounts of spatial data using cost-effective techniques. RS information is hence increasingly analysed to model biodiversity across space and tim...

Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...

Sharing and integrating Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System/Science (GIS) models are critical for developing practical application systems. Facilitating model sharing and model integration is a problem for model publishers and model users, respectively. To address this problem, a framework based on a Web service for sharing and integrating RS and GIS models is proposed in this...

Plant water use is an important function reflecting vegetation physiological status and affects plant growth, productivity, crop/fruit quality. Although hyperspectral indices have recently been proposed to assess use, limited sample sizes for established models greatly astricts their wide applications. In this study, we managed gather a large volume of continuous measurements canopy spectra thr...
