Historical land use strongly influences current landscapes and ecosystems making maps of
historical land cover an important reference point. However, the earliest satellite-based land …

This study assessed a lidar-based, object-oriented (segmentation) approach to forest
volume and aboveground biomass modeling. The study area in the Piedmont physiographic …

With the wide use of high-resolution remotely sensed imagery, the object-oriented remotely
sensed information classification pattern has been intensively studied. Starting with the …

This study evaluated the potential of an object-oriented approach to forest type classification
as well as volume and biomass estimation using small-footprint, multiple return lidar data …

The greater availability of remotely sensed high-resolution imagery and advances in object-
oriented analysis have created more opportunities for automated urban land-use …

In France, in the peri-urban context, urban sprawl dynamics are particularly strong with huge
population growth as well as a land crisis. The increase and spreading of built-up areas from …

La Réunion (océan Indien) est un espace insulaire en essor socio-économique rapide. La
composante spatiale observable de ces mutations a été cartographiée par télédétection à …

Accurate mapping of land-cover diversity within riparian areas at a regional scale is a major
challenge for better understanding the influence of riparian landscapes and related natural …

Abstract (EN) Pressure imposed at any one place or point in time results in a complexity of
spatial and temporal interactions within topographical ecosystems. It can be propagated …
