Landscape Classification of Sariska National Park (India) and its Environments using Geospatial Technology
Abstract: The relationship between land use/land cover (LULC) changes and land degradation over a period of 20 years (1989–2009) at Sariska National Park (India), and its environment was investigated using remotely sensed and ancillary data. The study analyzed the magnitude and direction of temporal LULC changes for two consecutive periods; 1989–2009. The temporal change patterns of LULC were analyzed through interpretation of LANDSAT imagery. Final land cover maps produced under four …

Assessment of Soil Erosion Using USLE Technique: A Case Study of Mysore District, Karnataka, India
Abstract: The present study has been conducted to assess the soil erosion in Mysore district in Karnataka, India. The most widely used Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) method has been adopted for the analysis. The USLE method performs based on the five parameters such as, rainfall factor, soil factor, length and slope factor and conservation practice factor. Each necessary numerical data have been obtained from the concerned organization and satellite images …

Knowledge-based, Automated Land Use/Land Cover Mapping Using Resourcesat-1 AWiFS
Abstract: The availability of large quantity of data from high-resolution space-based sensors along with the existing archives surpassed our ability to extract information from all the data using supervised image analysis techniques. Hence there is a need for automated image classifier with high throughput. Knowledge-based, modular, hierarchical decision-based classifier suitable for the analysis and extraction of major land use/land cover classes from IRS Resourcesat AWiFS data has been developed and the …
