Online journals, newspapers and magazines provide authentic materials for language learners while teachers can find lesson plans and ideas, exercises, assessment tools and other materials for using in their classes

Two-level model for land degradation mapping on multispectral satellite imagery

Two-level model for land degradation mapping on multispectral satellite imagery of low and medium spatial resolution is shown. First level model applies several different thematic classifications of source multispectral images, e.g. vegetation change, soil erosion etc. Second level gives data fusion of specific thematic classifications of the first level into final thematic map to improve accuracy and reliability of wing to joint interpretation. Proposed model will be useful for information support systems to provide land management
