Joint utilization of geochemical and remote sensing data, as well as other sources of geo-data can consequently assist in geological applications such as mineral exploration In recent decades, methodology to integrate remote sensing and geochemical data have significantly improved. During the integration, geochemical data are often interpolated or resampled to finer resolution for match that of remote sensing images but without notable improvement in geo-information quality containedwith. This study proposeda new integration method that uses the AlexNet convolution neural network to interpolate geochemical data with ASTER images.

Land as a limited resource, needs to be utilized judiciously. Built density and urban fabric poses challenge to urban planner and decision maker, to plan the city in such a way that it will use land resource optimally. So this study aims to identify suitable land which has high potential to satisfy future urban needs of Surat regions a city in western part of India. Multispectral Image (LISS IV) is used to extract the Land cover map of city. From DEM, slope and elevation maps are generated. Land suitability analysis is carried out using weighted overlay tool of Geographic Information System (GIS) and weights are obtained by Analytical Hierarchy process(AHP) considering socio-economic, utilities, environment and physical as main criteria. Weightage has been given by experts in planning area and GIS environment. The result of this study shows that 82.93 sq.km (8.56%) area is very suitable, 128.84 sq.km (13.30%) is suitable, 749.82 sq.km (77.37%) is moderately suitable, 6.43 sq.km (0.66%) is less suitable and 1.07 sq.km (0.11%) is unsuitable for the future development. This study of land suitability can help the urban planner to regularize the proper zoning and to prepare the development plan as well as local plan. Also policy maker can use this map to form appropriate policy to cop up with blighted situation in urban area and to carry out sustainable planned development to achieve Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) announced by ministry of Urban Development.","PeriodicalId":444267,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"42 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114105204","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}

Different from this, hyperspectral image (HSI) is a kind of high-dimensional data that contains rich spectral information. To explore the manifold structure in HSI, a new deep learning model termed deep manifold learning network (DMLN) was proposed in this paper. In DMLN, a graph based loss function is designed to combine the exploration of manifold structure and the extraction of deep abstract information, which can obtain the discriminant features by iteratively enhancing the compactness of intraclass samples and the separation of interclass samples. Experimental results on two real-world HSI data sets demonstrate the proposed DMLN outperformed some the state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":444267,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116305868","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}

Monthly information on leaf area index (from terrestrial laser scanning) and vegetation water content (from destructive sampling) was used to support the analysis. The analysis suggested that monitoring selective logging using Sentinel-1/2 imagery is challenging in temperate montane forests due to a range of factors, including logging time and duration, saturation of C-band wavelength, and relatively small changes in canopy cover that cannot be reliably picked up by the optical sensor.","PeriodicalId":444267,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121536607","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}

An artificial neural network (ANN) approach is used for classification of the considered mixed classes using various polarimetric parameters obtained from single acquisition ALOS2 PALSAR (L band) and Sentinel 1 (C band) dual pol SAR data. An image statistical measure based separability index analysis is used to identify the optimal polarimetric parameters for developing the classifier.
