Quality aspects of monitoring environmental variations using combined GIS remote sensing techniques with emphasis on data modeling
Abdulmuttalib, Hussein M.
The importance of quality assessment of monitoring and mapping environmental variations forces itself and cannot be neglected, as the number of experiments and projects of environmental remote sensing applications increase, and the lunch of new satellites and sensors dedicated to environmental monitoring is more and more year by year, due to the international communities realizing the affect of ecological aspects; increasing pollution of the water; land and air; damage of wild life, hazardous catastrophes, land degradation, and many more aspects where the combined technology of remote sensing and GIS proved its aid to recovery and successful decisions. Although, technical knowledge of the subject is becoming clearly tending to draw the lines for what can be monitored and detected using what type of sensor, which and on what conditions spectral range are the features sensitive to; aspects of the effects for quality assessment of the result and its GIS storage methodology containing the relationships and topology among other modeling issues on decision making and planning is some how partially neglected.
