This paper addresses the problem of water extraction from high resolution remote sensing images (including R, G, B, and NIR channels), which draws considerable attention in recent years. Previous work on water extraction mainly faced two difficulties. 1) It is difficult to obtain accurate position of water boundary because of using low resolution images. 2) Like all other image based object cla...

Marshlands in arid and semi-arid areas are considered constantly changing environments due to unsecured water supplies as a result of high evapotranspiration limited highly variable rainfall. Classification marshlands these regions mapping their land cover is not an easy task maps need be upgraded frequently. Satellites provide enormous amounts information data for the continuous monitoring cha...

satellite data have been used for temperature modeling both in urban areas and water. this paperstudies viability of aster satellite images that provide high spatial and spectral resolution to model watersurface temperature, as a fundamental water quality parameter. this study is focused on dez dam reservoirresiding in khuzestan province, south west of iran. after the image corrections required...

water content plays an important role in the process of plant photosynthesis and biomass accumulation. many methods have been developed to retrieve canopy leaf water content from remote sensing data. however, the validity of these methods has not been verified, which limits their applications. this study estimates the leaf water content (lwc) of winter wheat with three most widely used indexes:...

Abstract Peatlands as natural carbon sinks have a major impact on the climate balance and should therefore be monitored protected. The hydrology of peatland serves an indicator storage capacity. Hence, we investigate question how suitable different remote sensing data are for monitoring size open water surface table depth (WTD) ecosystem. Furthermore, examine potential combining this purpose. W...
