TWA Sungai Dumai is a tourist forest area and ensuring the preservation of natural potential. However, there are problems that can disrupt the sustainability of it, including forest and land fires and conversion of land use to agriculture and oil palm plantations. Until now, there is no vegetation analysis using satellite imagery in TWA Sungai Dumai, so it is important to do so that can be managed sustainably. This study  classification of vegetation density classes which are presented in the form of a vegetation density class map in it. This research uses Landsat-8 OLI / TIRS images from October 2017 and October 2020 which are processed to determine density class using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index algorithm. The vegetation density class with the highest area in 2017 was the vegetation density class (2380,832 ha or 66,819% of the total area), while the lowest area was the non-vegetation class (75,737 ha or 2,126% of the total area). The vegetation density class with the highest area in 2020 in TWA Sungai Dumai is dense vegetation density class (3205,039 ha or 89,950% of the total area), while the lowest area is non-vegetation class (1,637 ha or 0.046% of the total area)

Para tanto, foram utilizadas imagens do satélite Landsat 8-OLI, obtidas da base de dados da USGS (United States Geological Survey), de três datas ao longo do ciclo da cultura da soja (5 de dezembro 2014 – implantação, 6 de janeiro 2015 - início de desenvolvimento e 7 de fevereiro de 2015 – pleno desenvolvimento vegetativo).  A área de cultivo de soja foi mapeada utilizando classificação digital (máxima verossimilhança) e validada com dados de campo. A área total mapeada foi estratificada em duas classes: áreas de várzea e áreas altas, através do uso do modelo HAND (Height Above the Nearest Drainage). Para tornar possível a comparação entre datas, o TVDI foi determinado usando um triângulo único para as três datas em conjunto, estabelecido a partir dos dados do NDVI (Normalized Difference vegetation Index) e da temperatura de superfície (TS), a qual foi estimada usando o algoritmo split-window. O TVDI permitiu diferenciar as condições hídricas na cultura da soja ao longo do ciclo e entre as classes de altitude; as áreas mais altas apresentaram maiores déficits quando comparadas às áreas de várzea. Foi possível ainda visualizar a migração dos pixels de soja dentro do triângulo evaporativo como consequência da fase de desenvolvimento da cultura e das condições hídricas. Palavras-chave: déficit hídrico, agricultura, Landsat 8-OLI.  SCHIRMBECK, L.

The Landsat 8-OLI satellite images were gathered from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) database of three different dates during the soybean crop cycle (December 5th, 2014 - implementation, January 6th, 2015 - beginning of growth and February 7th, 2015 - full vegetative growth). The soybean crop area was mapped using digital classification (maximum likelihood method) and validated with field data. The total mapped area was stratified into two classes: floodplain areas and high areas, using the HAND (Height Above the Nearest Drainage) model. To make the comparison between dates possible, TVDI was determined using a single triangle for all the three dates together, established using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and surface temperature (TS) data, which was estimated using Split-window algorithm. TVDI allowed us to differentiate the water conditions during the soybean crop cycle and between the two altitude classes; the higher areas presented larger deficits when compared to the floodplain areas. It was also possible to observe the migration of the soybean pixels within the evaporative triangle as a consequence of the crop’s development stage and the water conditions. Keywords: water deficit, agriculture, Landsat 8-OLI.

The aim of this study was to evaluate some parameters of water quality of semiarid reservoirs under different uses and occupation of the catchment’s soil. For this, the reservoirs Acauã and Boqueirão, belonging to the Paraíba do Norte river watershed and Middle and Upper course sub catchments, respectively, were studied. For this, water samples were collected in August, September and October 2016. From these samples, total and dissolved phosphorus, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, chlorophyll, dissolved and suspended solids were analyzed. In addition, images of the Landsat 8 satellite were acquired for the calculation of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and for the supervised classification of the use and occupation of the sub catchments. Thus, it was observed that, in general, the Acauã reservoir presented values of phosphorus and nitrogen and solids larger than the Boqueirão reservoir, due to the greater urban area, even though it had a smaller total area of the basin. Both reservoirs presented low vegetation rates and high areas of sparse vegetation and exposed soil, increasing the propensity to soil erosion and the transport of nutrients from the basin to the reservoirs, making water quality worse or impossible.

Marshes represent a unique ecosystem covering a large area of southern Iraq. In a major environmental disaster, the marshes of Iraq were drained, especially during the 1990s. Since then, droughts and the decrease in water imports from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers from Turkey and Iran have prevented them from regaining their former extent. The aim of this research is to extract the values of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for the period 1977–2017 from Landsat 2 MSS (multispectral scanner), Landsat 8 OLI (operational land imager) and Sentinel 2 MSI (multi-spectral imaging mission) satellite images and use supervised classification to quantify land and water cover change. The results from the two satellites (Landsat 2 and Landsat 8) are compared with Sentinel 2 to determine the best tool for detecting changes in land and water cover. We also assess the potential impacts of climate change through the study of the annual average maximum temperature and precipitation in different areas in the marshes for the period 1981–2016. The NDVI analysis and image classification showed the degradation of vegetation and water bodies in the marshes, as vast areas of natural vegetation and agricultural lands disappeared and were replaced with barren areas. The marshes were influenced by climatic change, including rising temperature and the diminishing amount of precipitation during 1981–2016.

Wetlands are one of the most important ecosystems on the Earth and play a critical role in regulating regional climate, preventing floods, and reducing flood severity. However, it is difficult to detect wetland changes in multitemporal Landsat 8 OLI satellite images due to the mixed composition of vegetation, soil, and water. The main objective of this study is to quantify change to wetland cover by an image-to-image comparison change detection method based on the image fusion of multitemporal images. Spectral distortion is regarded as candidate change information, which is generated by the spectral and spatial differences between multitemporal images during the process of image cross-fusion. Meanwhile, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference water index (NDWI) were extracted from the cross-fused image as a normalized index image to enhance and increase the information about vegetation and water. Then, the modified iteratively reweighted multivariate alteration detection (IR-MAD) is applied to the generally fused images and normalized difference index images, providing a good evaluation of spectral distortion. The experimental results show that the proposed method performed better to reduce the detection errors due to the complicated areas under different ground types, especially in cultivated areas and forests. Moreover, the proposed method was tested and quantitatively assessed and achieved an overall accuracy of 96.67% and 93.06% for the interannual and seasonal datasets, respectively. Our method can be a tool to monitor changes in wetlands and provide effective technical support for wetland conservation.

A obtenção dos valores de reflectância se mostra imprescindível para se calcular índices de vegetação, como o NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). Este índice é utilizado para classificar a distribuição global da vegetação e para inferir variáveis ecológicas e ambientais, como a produção de fitomassa.  Apesar disso, não é incomum encontrar trabalhos que utilizam os números digitais (ND) para a obtenção direta dos índices de vegetação; entretanto, tais números digitais não representam valores físicos reais e, portanto, não podem ser utilizados diretamente para o cálculo do NDVI. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar um protocolo metodológico para a conversão dos ND das imagens Landsat 8/OLI em valores de reflectância e a subsequente obtenção do NDVI, através da linguagem LEGAL (Linguagem Espacial para Geoprocessamento Algébrico), e, dessa forma, possibilitar a replicação e execução de outras pesquisas que visem obter esse índice de vegetação no software SPRING. Além disso, objetivou-se também demonstrar a importância da conversão dos ND em reflectância, a partir da comparação de uma imagem NDVI gerada através da reflectância com a mesma imagem NDVI gerada por meio dos dados brutos. Os resultados apontaram que a obtenção do NDVI através dos valores brutos de imagens de sensoriamento remoto, sem a necessária conversão dos números digitais em valores reais de reflectância, leva a resultados incorretos na estimativa de dados ecológicos da vegetação, subestimando a fitomassa. Dessa forma, esse trabalho ressalta a importância de se seguir um protocolo metodológico para a estimativa correta da fitomassa, produtividade e outros parâmetros da vegetação.   Methodological protocol for obtaining reflectance and NDVI values from Landsat 8/OLI images using LEGALA B S T R A C TObtaining reflectance values is essential for calculating vegetation indices, such as the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). This index is used to classify the global distribution of vegetation and to infer the ecological and environmental parameters such as phytomass production. Nevertheless, it is common to find works that use digital numbers (DN) to directly obtain vegetation indices; however, such digital numbers do not represent actual physical values and therefore cannot be used directly for NDVI calculation. Thus, this paper aims to demonstrate a methodological protocol for DN conversion of Landsat 8/OLI images into reflectance values and then for obtaining NDVI through the LEGAL (Spatial Language for Algebraic Geoprocessing). Therefore, this protocol enables the replication and execution of other studies aimed to obtain this vegetation index using SPRING. In addition, the objective was also to demonstrate the importance of converting DN to reflectance by comparing an NDVI image generated from reflectance with the same NDVI image generated through the raw data. The results showed that obtaining the NDVI through the raw values of remote sensing images, without the conversion of digital numbers to real reflectance values, leads to incorrect results in the estimation of ecological vegetation data, underestimating phytomass, thus emphasizing the importance of following a methodological protocol for the correct estimation of biomass, productivity and other phytological parameters.Keywords: protocol, NDVI, reflectance, Landsat 8, SPRING

Peningkatan suhu udara merupakan dampak dari pemanasan global serta berkurangnya vegetasi. Pada kawasan perkotaan, peningkatan suhu udara secara signifikan dapat memunculkan fenomena urban heat island yang dalam jangka panjang mampu mengubah iklim mikro. Estimasi suhu permukaan dan kerapatan vegetasi diperoleh dari data satelit penginderaan jauh secara multi-temporal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika suhu permukaan dan kerapatan vegetasi di Kota Cirebon. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan data citra Landsat-5 TM dan Landsat-8 OLI yang divalidasi dengan data MODIS pada periode tahun 1998, 2008, serta 2018. Nilai suhu permukaan diekstraksi dengan radiative transfer equation, sedangkan informasi kerapatan vegetasi diperoleh dengan normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Interaksi antara suhu permukaan dan kerapatan vegetasi diketahui melalui analisis korelasi spasial. Sepanjang tahun 1998 hingga 2018 terjadi peningkatan suhu permukaan sebesar 1.18 oC yang disertai dengan menurunnya area bervegetasi rapat hingga 12.683 km2. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan korelasi negatif yang signifikan antara suhu permukaan dan kerapatan vegetasi di Kota Cirebon. Suhu permukaan tertinggi terpusat pada CBD, pelabuhan, area rawan kemacetan, kawasan industri, dan terminal. Berdasarkan kajian ini, upaya menanggulangi suhu permukaan di Kota Cirebon perlu ditangani melalui penyediaan ruang terbuka hijau, green belt, maupun reforestrasi.

As operações aritméticas efetuadas entre bandas espectrais de imagens de sensoriamento remoto necessitam de correção atmosférica para eliminar os efeitos atmosféricos na resposta espectral dos alvos, pois os números digitais não apresentam escala equivalente em todas as bandas. Índices de vegetação, calculados com base em operações aritméticas, além de caracterizarem a vegetação, minimizam os efeitos da iluminação da cena causados pela topografia. Com o objetivo de analisar a eficácia da correção atmosférica no cálculo de índices de vegetação, este trabalho comparou os Índices de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index - NDVI), calculados com base em imagens corrigidas e não corrigidas de um recorte de uma cena Landsat 8/OLI situado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Os resultados mostraram que o NDVI calculado pela reflectância, ou seja, imagem corrigida, apresentou o melhor resultado, devido ao maior discriminação das classes de vegetação e de corpos d'água na imagem, bem como à minimização do efeito topográfico nos valores dos índices de vegetação.  Analysis of the atmospheric correction impact on the assessment of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index for a Landsat 8 oli image A B S T R A C TThe image arithmetic operations must be executed on previously atmospherically corrected bands, since the digital numbers do not present equivalent scales in all bands. Vegetation indices, calculated by means of arithmetic operations, are meant for both targets characterization and the minimization of illumination effects caused by the topography. With the purpose to analyze the efficacy of atmospheric correction in the calculation of vegetation indices with respect to the mitigation of atmospheric and topographic effects on the targets spectral response, this paper compared the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) calculated using corrected and uncorrected images related to an inset of a Landsat 8 OLI scene from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The result showed that NDVI calculated from reflectance values, i.e, corrected images, presented the best results due to a greater number of vegetation patches and water bodies classes that could be discriminated in the image, as well the mitigation of the topographic effect in the vegetation indices values.Keywords: remote sensing, urban forest, atmospheric correction.
