The study demonstrated the use of remotely sensed data in conjugation with GIS for the sustainable development of watershed. The terrain is prone to erosion due to steeper slopes associated with high relief and drainage density. The different geomorphometric parameters of the study area have been computed with the aid of ArcGIS-10.2 software. SPR and run-off rate of the watershed was estimated on the basis of morphometric parameters. The Tuirini watershed is designated as 6th order stream comprises an area of about 420 sq.km. The mean bifurcation ratio indicates strong structural control over the drainage development. The values of drainage density and texture ratio indicate that the area is composed of impermeable rocks associated with very fine drainage texture. The analysis of shape and relief parameters shows that watershed is having elongated shape and structurally complex with high relief. The estimated value of SPR and runoff rate suggests that the watershed produces moderate amount of sediments annually with high discharge of runoff due to high relief with steeper slopes.","PeriodicalId":219241,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132864319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These types of errors result in phase errors in SAR data, which cause defocusing of the reconstructed images. The proposed phase-error correction approaches combine the maximum a posterior (MAP) algorithm and the iterative sparse maximum likelihood-based (SMLA) approaches (referred to as the PE-MAP-SMLA approaches) to solve a joint optimization problem to achieve phase errors estimation and SAR image formation simultaneously. A new PESLIM approach is also proposed that extends the idea of the classical sparse and learning via iterative minimization (SLIM) approach. A closed-form expression for the recursive estimate of the phase errors parameters is derived. A general form of each of these iterative approaches consists of three steps, the first of which is for image formation, the second is for phase errors estimation and the last is for nuisance parameters estimation. The proposed approaches can correct the phase errors accurately, and the reconstruction quality of the SAR images can be improved significantly. Finally, simulation results of 1-D spectral estimation and 2-D SAR imaging examples are generated to show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.","PeriodicalId":219241,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Remote Sensing Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122471650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
