| Abstract | The objective of this paper is to verify the viability of using existing radar satellite (ERS and RADARSAT), as an operational tool for monitoring land cover in Amazo/spl circ/nia. It is well known that C band radar data are not adequate for land applications, but as cloud cover in Amazo/spl circ/nia is a constant problem, particularly in certain areas, radar data can help, as complimentary information, for change monitoring. In this paper ERS and RADARSAT images are classified using texture measures, in several classes of land use, and then the adequacy of using these classes for change detection is analyzed. Progressive sequential feature selection, using the Kappa coefficient of agreement as a selection criterion, chooses a subset of the texture layers that maximizes that coefficient. It was observed that even for the best feature set, the Kappa coefficient was considered too low and unsuitable to be used for change detection. However, it is shown that this coefficient progressively increases when classes are merged sequentially. When only two classes are considered, identified as forest/non-forest, the overall accuracy is higher than 85%, which was considered adequate for change detection. The classifications of the 1992, 1993 and 1996 ERS1/2 images over the Tapajo/spl acute/s National Forest, Brazil, were performed using the iterative contextual mode (ICM) classifier. Deforestation was detected for those points changing from forest in one year to non-forest in other year, with very good agreement with the results obtained with optical imagery sequence. Similar results were obtained using RADARSAT imagery for the year 1996. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
