Classifying remote sensing imageries to obtain reliable and accurate land use and land cover (LULC) information still remains a challenge that depends on many factors such as complexity of landscape, the remote sensing data selected, image processing and classification methods, etc. The aim of this paper is to extract reliable LULC information from Landsat imageries of the Lower Hunter region o...

Classification-based applications of remotely sensed data have increased significantly over the years. Very often, these data are gathered from different sources and in different formats causing the classification process to be scenespecific. Alternatively, spectral band indices have been developed to emphasize some elements based on spectral characteristics and therefore improving the final cl...

This paper presents an approach in extracting multi-temporal land-cover information (years 1976-2001) from cloud-contaminated remotely-sensed images acquired by the Landsat Multi-Spectral Scanner (MSS) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) sensors in order to detect and analyze deforestation and other types of land-cover change (LCC) in two forest resource-rich provinces of Agusan del Norte ...

SKYLAB and LANDSAT MSS data were analyzed using computer-aided analysis techniques (CAAT) developed at LARS. Results indicated that the middle infrared wavelength bands of the SKYLAB S-192 scanner would allow effective discrimination between snowcover and water-droplet clouds, whereas the limited spectral response of the LANDSAT-1 or 2 scanners do not allow such spectral discrimination. In the ...

In this paper, urban growth of Bangalore region is analyzed and discussed by using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat satellite images. Urban growth analysis helps in understanding the change detection of Bangalore region. The change detection is studied over a period of 39 years and the region of interest covers an area of 2182 km 2 . The main cause for urban growth is the increase in p...

Polymeric microspheres (MSs) have received attention for their potential to improve the delivery of drugs with poor oral bioavailability. Although MSs can be absorbed into the absorptive epithelium of the small intestine, little is known about the physiologic mechanisms that are responsible for their cellular trafficking. In these experiments, nonbiodegradable polystyrene MSs (diameter range: 5...
