基于目标时域散射特性的土地覆盖类型分类研究

目标散射特性随时间变化的规律称之为目标时域散射特性。目标时域散射特征是利用多时相雷达遥感图像进行目标识别的基础。本研究以广东肇庆为试验区,利用多时相单参数雷达图像进行土地覆盖类型分类研究,分析了试验区内典型植被的结构、形态及其散射机理等特征,总结了各类目标的时域散射特性,区分识别了多种目标,制作了土地覆盖类型分类图.     

近圆轨道遥感卫星星下点轨迹的计算

根据遥感卫星轨道的特点，提出了计算近圆轨道卫星星下点轨迹的算法，并对其进行精度评估。结果表明这种算法是快捷和有效的，能够满足卫星规划阶段对轨道精度的要求。     

利用任意时刻AVHRR资料近似估计区域地表温度日较差的试验

根据表征土壤温度日变化的土温方程一阶近似解，提出一种利用一日中任意时刻NOAA－AVHRR图像数据估计地表温度日较差的简易推算方法。该方法尤其可用于反演土壤含水量的计算，当图像数据的时次与热惯量法所要求的最高、最低温度时次配不准的情况下，近似地估计地表温度日较差，进而计算地表热惯量及相应的土壤含水量。用实例验证了该方法的可行性，为进一步推广应用奠定基础。

天山北坡前山带景观分布特征的遥感研究

在前人研究前山带的基础上，借助地理信息系统技术与遥感图像处理技术，结合野外实地考察和遥感影像数据，论述了天山北坡前山带的形成，同时从遥感影像上定量分析了前山带构造带的分布规模和分布特征，阐述了前山带各类各类景观单元对区域气候气候河川径流，绿洲发展，土地利用和土地覆被以及生态环境等综合影响。     

中国土地利用时空特征分析

在遥感技术与GIS技术的支持下，对中国近5年来土地利用的时间动态特征和空间动态特征进行了定量分析。具体表现为通过数学建模，利用土地利用动态度模型、土地利用程度模型、垦殖指数模型等对土地利用时空特征进行了分析。研究结果表明：5年间中国土地利用类型发生变化比较大的区域主要分布在东部和北部地区，特别是东北部地区土地利用类型变化比较剧烈，而西部变化相对缓慢；土地利用各类型中面积增加的有耕地、水域、建设用地和未利用地，而林地、草地面积减少；耕地增加的区域位于东北部地区，特别是黑龙江省耕地面积增加最多；林草地以及未利用地的面积变化主要发生在新疆、内蒙和黑龙江等地区，其它地区变化幅度相对较小。     

Spatial distribution of wind erosion and its driving factors in China

Soil erosion by wind means the soil particles are eroded and transported by wind. Fine particles of soil are transported as suspended load and may travel much greater distances than the coarse coarse materials do which are transported as creep and saltation. The finest particles and chemical microsome constitute the aerosol which can even keep for several years in atmosphere from descending. Wind erosion is a serious problem in many parts of the world. In China, up to 2400 km2 of land is dese…     

Sandy desertification trend in western Northeast China Plain in the past 10 years

The west sandy land of the Northeast China Plain is located in the eastern huge sandy belt of mid-latitude in Eurasia and the eastern fringe of desertified land with best bio-climatic conditions in China. Over-extensive regional development has made the desertified landscape very obvious, especially in Horqin Sandy Land where desertification is more serious than that in Hushandake Sandy Land with worse bio-climatic conditions. There were some researches on the desertification in western No…     

From Land Cover to Land Use: A Methodology for Efficient Land Use Mapping over Large Areas

Land use information over large areas is increasingly important for many studies related to environment in general and global change in particular. Yet there is a dearth of methodological knowledge in this area, especially regarding the practical task of producing land use maps. In this article, a systematic land use mapping approach is developed, based on land cover maps that in turn are produced through remote sensing. The concept is based on the recognition of varying strengths of land cover (LC) – land use (LU) relationships, from the thematic and spatial points of view. Several categories of relationships are identified, ranging from direct (case 1) to multiple/complex (case 4), and appropriate mapping strategies are discussed for these cases. Using a mapping study in Lebanon, it is shown that the principles embodied in this approach correspond to issues and conditions in real mapping situations. Finally, the concepts are translated into a series of steps through which the method can be applied to large areas, taking into consideration the specific requirements and constraints of each case. The final land use map represents an acceptable compromise between accuracy, level of detail, and cost.
