Interferometric ALOS PALSAR Fine Beam Single/Dual, multi-temporal ENVISAT ASAR Alternating Polarization, and Landsat-5 TM/-7 ETM+ data are used for the generation of land cover and change maps. In synthesis, the product generation foresees two main steps: The first one consists in a rigorous data pre-processing, including interferometric processing (PALSAR), geometric / radiometric calibration ...

The objective of this study was to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of burned areas in Rondônia State, Brazil during the years 2000 to 2011 and evaluate the burned area maps. A Linear Spectral Mixture Model (LSMM) was applied to MODIS surface reflectance images to originate the burned areas maps, which were validated with TM/Landsat 5 and ETM+/Landsat 7 images and field data acquir...

River islands are sandbars formed by scouring and silting. Their evolution is affected by several factors, among which are runoff and sediment discharge. The spatial-temporal evolution of seven river islands in the Nanjing Section of the Yangtze River of China was examined using TM (Thematic Mapper) and ETM (Enhanced Thematic Mapper)+ images from 1985 to 2015 at five year intervals. The followi...

The analysis of climate regions is very important for designers and architects, because the increase in density and built up spaces and reduction in open spaces and green lands induce the increase of heat, especially in an urban area, deteriorating the environment and causing health problems. This study analyzes the Land Surface Temperature (LST) differences in the region of Dobrogea, Romania, ...

Abstract: As long as the effective contributions of satellite images in the continuous monitoring of the wide area and long range of time period, Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+ satellite images are surveyed. After quantization and classification of the deviations between TM and ETM+ images based on approved thresholds such as gains and biases or offsets, a correlation analysis method for the compa...

The objective of this study was to identify the Spatio-temporal variation in landcover Dhaka city, capital Bangladesh. conducted highlight issues changing land-cover mega cities Bangladesh and its future environmental consequences. Land cover changes temporal maps for selected areas were developed by using multi-temporal information data sets Multispectral Scanner (MSS), Thematic Map (TM), Enha...
