The application of a remotely-sensed diversity index to monitor degradation patterns in a semi-arid, heterogeneous, South African landscape
Frank Tanser,Anthony R. Palmer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a remotely-sensed degradation assessment technique based on the measurement of landscape heterogeneity (a key determinant of degradation status) is presented. And the Moving Standard Deviation Index (MSDI) is derived by passing a moving standard deviation filter across the Landsat TM band 3 (red band).

Segmentation and morphology of open water bodies from multispectral images
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new methodology to segment open water bodies based on a variant of principal component analysis (PCA), which produces two sets of multispectral bands, one for water bodies and one for land cover types.
