TL;DR: In this paper, an evaluation of fuzzy-based classifiers for specific crop identification using multi-spectral temporal data spanning over one growing season has been carried out, and the temporal data sets have been georeferenced with 0.3 pixel rms error.
Abstract: In this study, an evaluation of fuzzy-based classifiers for specific crop identification using multi-spectral temporal data spanning over one growing season has been carried out. The temporal data sets have been georeferenced with 0.3 pixel rms error. Temporal information of cotton crop has been incorporated through the following five indices: simple ratio (SR), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), transformed normalized difference vegetation index (TNDVI), soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) and triangular vegetation index (TVI), to study the effect of indices on classified output. For this purpose, a comparative study between two fuzzy-based soft classification approaches, possibilistic c-means (PCM) and noise classifier (NC), was undertaken. In this study, advanced wide field sensor (AWiFS) data for soft classification and linear imaging self scanner sensor (LISS III) data for soft testing purpose from Resourcesat-1 (IRS-P6) satellite were used. It has been observed that NC fuzzy classifier...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors aim at quantifying the urban sprawl process in Dehradun Urban Agglomeration (DUA), India, based on two criteria, viz. urban built-up density and open space fragmentation.
Abstract: The unregulated and scattered pattern of urban footprints is termed as urban sprawl. Urban sprawl being a dynamic phenomenon is facing many uncertainties with respect to methods for studying its dynamism. The present study aims at quantifying the urban sprawl process in Dehradun Urban Agglomeration (DUA), India, based on two criteria, viz. urban built-up density and open space fragmentation. On the basis of these two criteria, six structural classes, viz. urban, suburban and rural built-up, urbanized open space, captured open space and rural open land, were delineated. The spatio-temporal variation of these structural classes provided the basis for defining the urban sprawl patterns, i.e. infill, extension and leapfrog. The results revealed that urbanization patterns in DUA valley shifted from leapfrog to extension and then to infill pattern. The study thus attempts to develop a model for objectively defining the process of urban sprawl.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the functional relationship between the dielectric constant of soil-water mixture and penetration depth of microwave signals into the ground at different frequency (L&S) band and incidence angles.
Abstract: . We study the functional relationship between the dielectric constant of soil-water mixture and penetration depth of microwave signals into the ground at different frequency (L&S) band and incidence angles. Penetration depth of microwave signals into the ground depends on the incidence angle and wavelength of radar pulses and also on the soil properties such as moisture content and textural composition. It has been observed that the longer wavelengths have higher penetration in the soil but the penetration capability decreases with increasing dielectric behaviour of the soil. Moisture content in the soil can significantly increase its dielectric constant. Various empirical models have been proposed that evaluate the dielectric behaviour of soil-water mixture as a function of moisture content and texture of the soil. In this analysis we have used two such empirical models, the Dobson model and the Hallikainen model, to calculate the penetration depth at L- and C-band in soil and compared their results. We found that both of these models give different penetration depth and show different sensitivity towards the soil composition. Hallikainen model is more sensitive to soil composition as compared to Dobson model. Finally, we explore the penetration depth at different incidence angle for the proposed L- and S-band sensor of upcoming NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission by using Hallikainen empirical model. We found that the soil penetration depth of SAR signals into the ground decreases with the increase in soil moisture content, incident angle and frequency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on severe 2018 Kerala flood, and is done using various remote sensing data, geospatial tools and combination of hydrological/hydrodynamic/topographical models.
Abstract: . Remote sensing and hydrological models are one of the foremost tools for rapid and comprehensive study of flood hazards and disasters in any parts of the world. Current study is focused on severe 2018 Kerala flood, and is done using various remote sensing data, geospatial tools and combination of hydrological/hydrodynamic/topographical models. Flood mapping is done with pre and post floods remote sensing datasets. For pre-Flood analysis, Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) map was prepared on Google Earth Engine (GEE), using Sentinel-2 images for the period of Feb. 2017 to identify permanent water bodies. For post-Flood analysis, GEE was used to download the pre-processed and thermal noise removed Sentinel-1 SAR image for Aug. 9, 2018, Aug. 14 and Aug. 21, 2018 and flood maps were generated using this data. In addition to SAR data, probable flood inundation areas using topography-based flood inundation tool HAND (Height Above Nearest Drainage tool) was also utilized. Hydrological simulation was carried out for all 12 major river sub-basins of Kerala, where floods are reported. Indian Meteorological Department-Global Precipitation Measurement (IMD-GPM) gridded daily data is used as input meteorological data for hydrological simulations. The hydrological simulations results were verified using published Central Water Commission (CWC) reports and reservoirs data for India-WRIS. The hydrodynamic simulation was also performed for simulating the Idukki dam release data and flood condition in downstream areas. Overall, an integrated study and developed approach can be utilized by state and central water and disaster management agencies to develop flood early warning systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a separability analysis is used to optimise the date combination for each case of number of dates and vegetation index for classification of wheat crop, and the resolution parameter (δ) was optimised for the NC classifier and found to be a value of 1.6 × 104 for wheat crop identification.
Abstract: In this study, temporal MODIS-Terra MOD13Q1 data have been used for identification of wheat crop uniquely, using the noise clustering (NC) soft classification approach. This research also optimises the selection of date combination and vegetation index for classification of wheat crop. First, a separability analysis is used to optimise the date combination for each case of number of dates and vegetation index. Then, these scenes have undergone for NC soft classification. The resolution parameter (δ) was optimised for the NC classifier and found to be a value of 1.6 × 104 for wheat crop identification. Classified outputs were analysed by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis for sub-pixel detection. Highest area under the ROC curve was found for soil-adjusted vegetation index corresponding to the three different phenological stages data sets. From this study, the data sets corresponding to the Sowing, Flowering and Maturity phenological stages of wheat crop were found more suitable to identify ...
