Spectral Indices derived from multispectral remote sensing products are extensively used to
monitor Earth system dynamics (eg vegetation dynamics, water bodies, fire regimes). The …

The rapidly occurring urbanization is associated with urban land use change dynamics. The
conversion of natural land surfaces to artificial impervious built-up surfaces in urban clusters …

In remote sensing (RS), shadows play an important role, commonly affecting the quality of
data recorded by remote sensors. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to detect and …

Rapid urban growth in major cities of a country poses challenges for sustainable
development. Particularly in Africa, the process of rapid urbanization is little understood and …

Impervious surface extraction with high accuracy is important for monitoring urban
expansion to sustainably manage the land resources and save the environment. In this …

Remotely sensing the spatial extent of artificial surfaces is essential for understanding
human footprints and evaluating anthropogenic impacts on the global environment and …

Extracting built-up areas from remote sensing data like Landsat 8 satellite is a challenge. We
have investigated it by proposing a new index referred as built-up land features extraction …

Rapid and irregular urbanization is an essential issue in terms of environmental assessment
and management. The dynamics of landscape patterns should be observed and analyzed …

Remote sensing has been recognized as the main technique to extract land cover/land use
(LC/LU) data, required to address many environmental issues. Therefore, over the years …

Abstract The Kenyan Lake Victoria basin has been experiencing land degradation and
overexploitation as seen in various landscape changes. Quantifying and understanding the …
