Forest Biomass Estimation

Introduction Nowadays forests resources play an important role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon in their Forest biomass estimation. Biomass (B) is an assessment of how much living tissue mass is present in a population at one point in time. The health and environmental conditions of a forest ecosystem are reflected in biomass. Biomass… Continue reading Forest Biomass Estimation

UAV FOR LANDPARCELS SURVEY AND MAPPING

Introduction Modeling using satellite imagery however has been identified as a significant approach for tracing larger parcels, such as farmland or forest plots. Earth observation satellites have a much large field of view than manned aerial imagery and much higher temporal resolutions, with performing frequent revisits during that same area on earth. Besides large regions, manned… Continue reading UAV FOR LANDPARCELS SURVEY AND MAPPING

GIS-BASED AI AND LOCATION INTELLIGENCE FOR BUSINESS AUTOMATION

Introduction Artificial Intelligence took a significant step that was emerging independently in GIS. GIS and AI have converged substantially over the last decade. GIS is a renowned technology that provides large data sets and a diverse range of AI applications. Companies are better prepared to achieve growth strategies, strong customer interactions, effective asset management, and… Continue reading GIS-BASED AI AND LOCATION INTELLIGENCE FOR BUSINESS AUTOMATION

Bathymetry Estimation and Marine Mapping

Bathymetry is recognized as an essential component in marine applications because it is used in many coastal erosions tracking and engineering projects. Traditionally, it was obtained via shipboard echo sounding, but nowadays, multispectral satellite imagery is also commonly used with various remote sensing-based algorithms. The surface reflectance of shallow coastal waters is related to the… Continue reading Bathymetry Estimation and Marine Mapping

GIS-Based Precision Agriculture and Smart Farming

Precision agriculture integrates new innovative technologies with a fully grown agricultural industry. Several farm tasks have now become automated as GPS, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and robotics technologies advance. GIS is an essential component of automated field operations, also renowned as precision agriculture or satellite farming. Precision farming helps to improve the use of soil… Continue reading GIS-Based Precision Agriculture and Smart Farming

Using Remote Sensing for Mapping and Counting Animals

The GIS and Remote Sensing data have been brought to use for wildlife observation in particularly for geological mapping of animals’ count in remote locations, in the raising concerns over endangered animal and bird species’ population. The use of low cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and highly accurate aerial LiDAR mapping services and digital terrain… Continue reading Using Remote Sensing for Mapping and Counting Animals

Spatial and Temporal GIS Analysis Using Change Detection

Nowadays, remotely sensed images are used for various purposes in different applications. One of them is change detection using high resolution satellite imagery of city areas. Urbanization with rapid land use and land cover change has taken place in many cities of the world in the last 50 years. In this context, comparison of extraction… Continue reading Spatial and Temporal GIS Analysis Using Change Detection

Delineating groundwater prospect zones using Multi Criteria Analysis ( MCA)

Spatial decision problems typically involve a large set of feasible alternatives & multiple evaluation criteria most of the time, these are conflicting. Alternatives & criteria are often evaluated by a number of individuals (decision-makers, managers, stakeholders, interest groups). Most of the time, they also have conflicting ideas, preferences, objectives, etc.  GIS  techniques & procedures have an important… Continue reading Delineating groundwater prospect zones using Multi Criteria Analysis ( MCA)

Mapping Soil Erosion using USLE

Due to inappropriate land use, erosion has become one of the most dangerous forms of soil degradation leading to significant reduction of soil fertility and crop yields. The implementation of appropriate measures is strongly needed in order to prevent further degradation of soil. For this reason, GIS and Remote Sensing have been used extensively for… Continue reading Mapping Soil Erosion using USLE

Role of Global Positioning System (GPS) / Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in Precision Farming

Agriculture is undergoing a revolution with increased producer acceptance of an improved management concept called Precision Farming. Simply stated, precision farming promotes greater yields and reduced input costs by ensuring that the right things are done at the right time at right place and in right amount in the field. Precision farming is a knowledge-based… Continue reading Role of Global Positioning System (GPS) / Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in Precision Farming
