Institutional issues affecting the integration and use of remotely sensed data and geographic information systems Institutional issues affecting the integration and use of remotely sensed data and geographic information systems
The developers as well as the users of remotely sensed data and geographic information system (GIS) techniques are associated with nearly all types of institutions in government, industry, and academia. Individuals in these various institutions often find the barriers to accepting remote sensing and GIS are not necessarily technical in nature, but can be attributed to the institutions...

Development of a land-cover characteristics database for the conterminous U.S. Development of a land-cover characteristics database for the conterminous U.S.
Information regarding the characteristics and spatial distribution of the Earth's land cover is critical to global environmental research. A prototype land-cover database for the conterminous United States designed for use in a variety of global modelling, monitoring, mapping, and analytical endeavors has been created. The resultant database contains multiple layers, including the source...

Monitoring grasshopper and locust habitats in Sahelian Africa using GIS and remote sensing technology Monitoring grasshopper and locust habitats in Sahelian Africa using GIS and remote sensing technology
Development programmes in Sahelian Africa are beginning to use geographic information system (GIS) technology. One of the GIS and remote sensing programmes introduced to the region in the late 1980s was the use of seasonal vegetation maps made from satellite data to support grasshopper and locust control. Following serious outbreaks of these pests in 1987, the programme addressed a...

Integration of remote sensing and GIS: Data and data access Integration of remote sensing and GIS: Data and data access
CT: Theintegration of remote sensing tools and technology with the spatial analysis orientation of geographic information systems is a complex task. In this paper, we focus on the issues of making data available and useful to the user. In part, this involves a set of problems which reflect on the physical and logical structures used to encode the data. At the same time, however, the...

Differentiator design and performance for edge sharpening Differentiator design and performance for edge sharpening
A two-dimensional differentiator is useful for edge sharpening in digital image processing. In the design of a differentiator, differentiator coefficients that satisfy the specification of frequency response must be approximated. Four mathematical techniques - the minimax method, least-squares method, nonlinear programming, and linear programming - can be applied to solve the...

An investigation of spectral change as influenced by irrigation and evapotranspiration volume estimation in western Nebraska An investigation of spectral change as influenced by irrigation and evapotranspiration volume estimation in western Nebraska
Retrospective satellite image data were evaluated for their ability to demonstrate the influence of center-pivot irrigation development in western Nebraska on spectral change and climate-related factors for the region. Periodic images of an albedo index and a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were generated from calibrated Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) data and used to...

Procedures for woody vegetation surveys in the Kazgail rural council area, Kordofan, Sudan Procedures for woody vegetation surveys in the Kazgail rural council area, Kordofan, Sudan
Efforts to reforest parts of the Kordofan Province of Sudan are receiving support from international development agencies. These efforts include planning and implementing reforestation activities that require the collection of natural resources and socioeconomic data, and the preparation of base maps. A combination of remote sensing, geographic information system and global positioning...
