Pictures are the most effective means of conveying information. A picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures concisely convey information about positions, sizes and interrelationships between objects. Human beings are good at deriving information from such images, because of our innate visual and mental abilities. About 75% of the information received by human is in pictorial form. The paper d...

ISSN 2277 – 503X | © 2012 Bonfring Abstract--The Remote sensing technology is measured or observed reflected energy to construct an image of the landscape beneath the platform passage in a discrete pixel format. The geometric and radiometric characteristics of remotely sensed image provide information about earth’s surface. In the present study, the primary data product obtained from IRS P6 sat...

Monitoring and tracking vegetation changes in vast and remote areas is a difficult task. Accurate extraction of existing vegetation is the primary step for better statistical assessment. An approach for vegetation mapping is proposed which automatically explores spectral characteristics of connected components in an image. Different frames of multi-spectral Indian Remote sensing IRS-1C LISS III...

Monitoring changes in landscape cover types has been a great concern for forest and wildlife managers. Both managers find it very important to know how much area is suitable for wildlife species and what areas are affected due to anthropogenic pressure. To address these concerns, evaluation of Chandoli National Park was done to see the changes that have taken place over the past 28 years. The N...

Soil erosion is one of the most critical environmental hazards of recent times. A large area suffers from soil erosion, which in turn, reduces productivity. Methods such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation or Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation are widely used for the estimation of soil erosion from catchment areas. The paper deals with the estimation of soil erosion using Universal Soil Loss ...

estimation of vegetation cover attributes, such as the leaf area index (lai), is an important step in identifying the amount of water use for some plants. the goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using irs liss-iii data to retrieve lai. to get a lai retrieval model based on reflectance and vegetation index, detailed field data were collected in the study area of eastern iran....

This paper reports results of an experiment LRVE (Leaf Area Index Retrieval and Validation Experiment) that was conducted over agricultural areas of Central India during winter season of 2001-02, aimed at relating field measurements of LAI to space borne IRS LISS-III data, preparation of site-level LAI maps and validation of MODIS-based 1 km LAI global fields,. Measurements of fieldlevel LAI, a...

A key factor in the implementation of productive and sustainable cultivation procedures is the frequent and area-wide monitoring of cropland and grassland. In particular, attention is focused on assessing the actual status, identifying basic trends and mitigating major threats with respect to land-use intensity and its changes in agricultural and semi-natural areas. Here, multi-seasonal analyse...
