JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFuzzy classification the authors have proposed is a new type of satellite image classification method which assumes each classification class to be a fuzzy set. With this both the possibility that a pixel may belong to more than one class and the possibility that a pixel may belong to none of the classes can be theoretically treated by the fuzzy set operations. The most important task to realize the fuzzy classification is the estimation of the membership function for each class. In the previous studies the applicability of neural network (NN) has been verified. However, NN is not necessarily satisfactory method in operational aspect because it needs a lot of trials in order to identify the appropriate network structure. This paper discusses the potential for the application of GMDH (Group Method of Data Handling) as an alternative to NN. An attention is mainly focused on the mathematical model structure of GMDH in comparison with NN. It is shown that the structure of GMDH is equivalent to that of a simplified NN in which the connection weights between some neurons are assumed to be zero. It means that the accuracy of estimation of membership functions by GMDH is theoretically lower than that of NN. On the other hand, GMDH aims to represent the complex I/O system by the recursive applications of simple regression analysis, and consequently GMDH is expected to be superior to NN in the operational aspect. Such a trade-off between high accuracy and operational easiness is demonstrated through the practical application. This paper concludes that GMDH can be an alternative to NN in fuzzy classification of satellite image.View full abstractDownload PDF (780K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEvapotranspiration is a key element in climate related studies on all spatial and temporal scales. Recent studies have shown that evapotranspiration can be estimated with some degree of precision using semiempirical and analytical models. By this study, a method for the estimation of evapotranspiration using the available global data sets has been proposed.
Monthly global potential evapotranspiration (PET) on 30-minute latitude-longitude grid was estimated based on the Priestley-Taylor method using global data sets including air temperature, albedo, cloudiness, elevation, which are parts of Global Ecosystems Database supplied by NOAA-EPA.View full abstractDownload PDF (3025K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAerial photographs are a major source of forest species data for the geographic information system at the Forestry Commission in the Australian state of Tasmania. The traditional process of capturing this data is time consuming and costly relying on expensive single purpose machines and skilled operators. However, the process is justified by the need to remove the photographic distortions exacerbated by Tasmania's rugged terrain.
This paper outlines an innovative new process which allows for the direct digitizing of forest boundaries from single aerial photographs. The PhotoGlS process rigorously applies the photogrammetric tilt and relief corrections after it has been digitised by using a digital surface model. PhotoGlS provides significant cost savings and greater flexibility in data capture.View full abstractDownload PDF (814K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe precise edge locator to estimate landcover proportion in a mixel IFOV, of which algorithm is based on moment preserving principle, is tested in this research.
Results of two computer experiments are as follows.
1) The estimated landcover proportions were affected by the length of edges, noises, window sizes of the locators and PSFs of image.
2) The average magnitude of errors of estimated landcover proportion in a mixel IFOV on an idealistic edge is less than 2% in any window size but the window size of 3×3. But, the magnitude of errors on a long and high contrasted straight edges on a digitized aerophotograph with much noise is around 20% or so.
3) Some of improvements on the present algorithm to estimate landcover proportion in mixels on realistic images are necessary.View full abstractDownload PDF (4476K) -
