The study was realised in the Mau Forest of Central Kenya, where extensive deforestation over the past 20 years has caused changes in climate and hydrology. The analyses are based on processing of Landsat satellite images. Field observations during the 'dry' rainy season in October 2008, and testimonies of local people and scientists, confirm the ...
The aim of the study was to develop automated and repeatable digital image processing methods for woody vegetation classification and mapping using aerial photograph or high-resolution satellite images and GIS. Parallelepiped classification or density slice method was used to classify woody and non-woody vegetation, and ancillary ...
This paper describes a methodology that relies upon digital processing of remotely sensed satellite images to detect coastline changes in Cukurova Deltas, south east Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Two winter images of Landsat MSS and ETM+, acquired in 1972 and 2002, were clustered into "water" and "non-water" classes using the ...
