Introduction A sound understanding of geography is needed in every phase of a mining venture development. Starting with exploration and resource mapping, the extraction of regional and local fracture patterns and the identification of lithological unites, to mineral analysis, to finding an ideal location for the mining facility, including disaster management and environmental impact… Continue reading Satellite-Imagery Intelligence : An Advanced Observation Strategy For Mining Industry
Water resource management is a significantly challenging task for the nation. Remotely sensed satellites are designed to meet the vital information requirements of the water management to provide yet another opportunity for extensive monitoring and assessment of the physical features of the nation's water resources. Analyses on a slope, drainage characteristics, and land use/land cover patterns… Continue reading Water Resource Management
GPS has been widely adopted by many government departments and institutions, as well as private enterprises, due to its positive impact. Services derived from the use of information technology, carrying efficiency, and benefiting from gadgets, resulted in a significant increase in interest and special focus in various areas for multitasking utensils and IT systems. GIS… Continue reading GIS and GPS enabled Vehicle Tracking System
The GIS and Remote Sensing data have been brought to use for wildlife observation in particularly for geological mapping of animals’ count in remote locations, in the raising concerns over endangered animal and bird species’ population. The use of low cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and highly accurate aerial LiDAR mapping services and digital terrain… Continue reading Using Remote Sensing for Mapping and Counting Animals
Nowadays, remotely sensed images are used for various purposes in different applications. One of them is change detection using high resolution satellite imagery of city areas. Urbanization with rapid land use and land cover change has taken place in many cities of the world in the last 50 years. In this context, comparison of extraction… Continue reading Spatial and Temporal GIS Analysis Using Change Detection
Spatial decision problems typically involve a large set of feasible alternatives & multiple evaluation criteria most of the time, these are conflicting. Alternatives & criteria are often evaluated by a number of individuals (decision-makers, managers, stakeholders, interest groups). Most of the time, they also have conflicting ideas, preferences, objectives, etc. GIS techniques & procedures have an important… Continue reading Delineating groundwater prospect zones using Multi Criteria Analysis ( MCA)
Due to inappropriate land use, erosion has become one of the most dangerous forms of soil degradation leading to significant reduction of soil fertility and crop yields. The implementation of appropriate measures is strongly needed in order to prevent further degradation of soil. For this reason, GIS and Remote Sensing have been used extensively for… Continue reading Mapping Soil Erosion using USLE
Agriculture is undergoing a revolution with increased producer acceptance of an improved management concept called Precision Farming. Simply stated, precision farming promotes greater yields and reduced input costs by ensuring that the right things are done at the right time at right place and in right amount in the field. Precision farming is a knowledge-based… Continue reading Role of Global Positioning System (GPS) / Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in Precision Farming
In September 2011, the China National Space Administration launched an 8.5 metric tones space station which was used as a technology protocol Chinese space station being live since 2013. Tiangong-1 since 2013, gathered data which helped Chinese find minerals and monitor ocean and for forecasting applications. The Chinese space station flies over land and sea… Continue reading Chinese Space Station Tiangong-1 Crashed
