This book discusses the fundamentals of land use/land cover characterization and mapping using remote sensing technology. It covers basic concepts of land use/land cover mapping, outlines an overview and history, enumerates todaya (TM)s status and development, and determines the relationship between land cover and land use. It also considers the classification systems used with remotely sensed data, as well as state-of-the-art methods and techniques in data acquisition, pre-processing, classification, and accuracy assessment needed for land use/land cover characterization and mapping.…mehr

Synthesizing decades of research conducted by leading scientists in the field, the text presents a new perspective on the subject.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Chandra P. Giri, PhD, is a research physical scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)/Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, where he leads the International Land Cover and Biodiversity program. He is also a guest/adjunct faculty member at South Dakota State University. Prior to this, Dr. Giri worked for Columbia University in New York, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Asian Institute of Technology, and the Forest Department of Nepal. He has experience working in the private sector, academia, government, and international organizations at national, continental, and global levels in different parts of the world. He also serves as an expert in national and international working groups. Dr. Giri has more than 50 scientific publications to his credit and has received several awards from USGS, NASA, and other organizations.
