1. 1. Inferring Land Use from Remote Sensing Imagery : A context-based approach

   Författare :Michael Meinild Nielsen; Bo Malmberg; Anders Wästfelt; Douglas A. Stow; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; land use; remote sensing; urban remote sensing; image analysis; segmentation; spatial context; land cover; land cover configuration; farming types; bark beetle; dead trees; forest inventory; kulturgeografi; Human Geography;

   Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis investigates the potential of classification methods based on spatial context to infer specific forms of land use from remote sensing data. The problem is that some types of land use are characterized by a complex configuration of land covers that traditional per-pixel based methods have problems classifying due to spectral heterogeneity.

3. 2. Multitemporal Spaceborne Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Mapping

   Författare :Xin Niu; Yifang Ban; Paolo Gamba; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RADARSAT-2; spaceborne; polarimetric SAR; urban land cover; classification; Information technology; Informationsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Urban represents one of the most dynamic areas in the global change context. To support rational policies for sustainable urban development, remote sensing technologies such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) enjoy increasing popularity for collecting up-to-date and reliable information such as urban land cover/land-use.

4. 3. Ecological rehabilitation of degraded hill slopes in southern Wello, Ethiopia

   Författare :Kebrom Tekle; Ingvar Backéus; Eddy van der Maarel; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Classification; hillside closures; intercept lengths; land cover; land degradation; local participation; natural regeneration; ordination; permanent plots; soil seed banks; succession; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Ecological Botany; Ekologisk botanik;

   Sammanfattning : Clearing of vegetation has left large areas of southern Wello (Ethiopia) at a high risk ofland degradation. In this study, the causes, extent and consequences of land degradationproblems are reviewed. To see land cover changes, aerial photographs from 1958 and1986 were compared with the help of a GIS procedure. LÄS MER

5. 4. Urban Land-cover Mapping with High-resolution Spaceborne SAR Data

   Författare :Hongtao Hu; Yifang Ban; Johan Fransson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; High-resolution; RADARSAT-1 SAR; RADARSAT-2 SAR; Urban Land Cover; Object-based Classification; Neural Network; Support Vector Machines.; Remote sensing; Fjärranalys;

   Sammanfattning : Urban areas around the world are changing constantly and therefore it is necessary to update urban land cover maps regularly. Remote sensing techniques have been used to monitor changes and update land-use/land-cover information in urban areas for decades. Optical imaging systems have received most of the attention in urban studies. LÄS MER

7. 5. Land Degradation and Climate in Iceland - a spatial and temporal assessment

   Författare :Rannveig Olafsdottir; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spatial analysis; long-term analysis; Holocene; spatial simulations; Iceland; Geology; fysisk geografi; physical geography; Geologi; land cover; farmers perception; Land degradation;

   Sammanfattning : Degradation of vegetation and soil erosion has contributed to loss of biological productivity and land degradation in Iceland. This thesis focuses on spatial and temporal patterns of land degradation in Iceland from a geographical perspective both along short and long timescales. LÄS MER
