in order to evaluate capability of the landsat-etm and irs-p6-liss iv images for canopy cover mapping a case study was done on the forests of javanroud in kermanshah province. after evaluation of the geometric and radiometric quality of the data, the etm+ images, the etm+ images were geometrically corrected with gcps and the images were registered with rmse error 0.46 and 0.48 pixels, for x and...

Watershed prioritization is considered as the most significant aspect in watershed resource management and development program. The present work attempts to prioritize seventeen sub-watersheds Ruparel of Alwar district Rajasthan, India. For sub-watersheds, morphometric land use/land cover (LULC) analysis were performed using remote sensing GIS. Base map study area has been derived from SOI topo...

A study was conducted at Kalamandari Tanda-1 micro-watershed, Karnataka, India, to assess the spatio-temporal variability of surface soil properties sampled from 23 varied soil-phase units, delineated using IRS P6 LISS-IV merged Cartosat-I imagery (2.5 m spatial resolution). Three sets samples (231 in each set) were collected, analyzed, and interpolated evaluate variability. Further soil-phase-...

Path radiance due to aerosols plays an important role over satellite derived reflectance due to higher aerosol optical depth and their seasonal variations. In addition, satellite data from high-resolution sensors are subjected to adjacency effect, which reduces apparent surface contrast by decreasing the top of the atmosphere radiance over bright pixels and increasing the brightness of the dark...

Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid with remarkable features such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses on fluid mechanics LISs, that is, interaction a flow field behavior drops surfaces. LISs can be characterized by an effective slip length is closely related to their drag reduction property, which makes them suitable for ...
