Vegetation Parameter Derivation for Forest Health Measurement and Stress Detection in a Time SeriesBy Somnath Maiti, Rajat Satpathy, Jatisankar Bandyopadhyay, AT Jeyaseelan
Abstract: AbstractThe forest health of Jharkhand is declining for the reasons which includes heavy unscientific mining, climate change, air pollution and increased human activities. Vegetation plays a key role in reducing an ambient temperature, moisture and pollutant capture, energy use and subsequent ground level ozone reduction. There is an urgent need of detailed measurement and monitoring of forest’s health. Modern technological advancement in the field of remote sensing technology enables us …

ASTER Spectral Analysis Based Vegetation Species Identification of the Forest Areas Situated in Ghatsila, Musabani and DhalbhumgarhBy Somnath Maiti, Rajat Satpathy, Jatisankar Bandyopadhyay, Ayyeum Perumal Thillai Jeyaseelan
Abstract: Reflectance-converted imagery is a requirement for establishing remote sensing algorithms for mapping vegetation species using their specific absorption and reflectance spectra. The differences among the spectral signatures, the unique patterns of absorption and reflection of visible and infrared energy help the researcher to identify types of plants. During the last few decades remote sensing technology has become increasingly important tool for mapping and inventorying forest resources around the world. Jharkhand …

Forest Change Monitoring of Ghatsila, Musabani and Dhalbhumgarh Block of East Singbhum District, Jharkhand State using Image Subtraction, Image Ratioing and SAM Classification MethodBy Somnath Maiti, Rajat Satpathy, Jatisankar Bandyopadhyay, Ayyeum Perumal Thillai Jeyaseelan
Abstract: Forests and biodiversity is the key of all life forms. The richer the forest, greater the opportunity for economic development and adaptive responses to the challenge of climate change induced disasters. The forest area of Jharkhand is rapidly destroyed due to unscientific mining, industry induced air pollutants and human encroachment in forest area. This heavy deforestation activity has changed the ecosystem and environment. Recent advancement in remote sensing technology has …
