Purpose. Exploration and predicting the prospective areas in the Zhezkazgan ore region to set up detailed prospecting and evaluation works using new integrated technologies of prediction constructions in the mineral deposits geology. Methods. An integrated methodological approach is used, including methods for deciphering the Earth’s remote sensing (ERS) data, the use of geophysical data and methods of analogy and actualism. All constructions are made in accordance with the principles of shock-explosive tectonics (SET). Prediction constructions are started with the selection of remote sensing data for the studied region and interpretation based on the processing of radar satellite images obtained from the Radarsat-1 satellite. The radar satellite images are processed in the Erdas Imagine software package. Findings. New local prospective areas have been identified, within which it is expected to discover the deposits. Their reserves are to replenish the depleted ore base in the Zhezkazgan region. Area of the gravity maximum 1 (the Near), considered to be the most promising, is located in close proximity to the city of Zhezkazgan; area of the gravity maximum 2 (the Middle); area of the gravity maximum 3 (the Distant-Tabylga); area of the gravity maximum 6 (the Central). A prospective area has been also revealed, overlaid by a loose sediment cover and located inside the Terekty ring structure, as well as the area of a thick stratum of pyritized grey sandstones, which is adjacent to the Sh-2 well drilled to the south of the Zhezkazgan field. Originality. The use of a new prediction technology, in contrast to the known ones, is conditioned by the widespread use of the latest remote information from satellite images, which increases the accuracy of identifying the prospective areas of fields. Practical implications. The new technology for predicting mineral deposits makes it possible to significantly reduce the areas exposed to priority prospecting, which provides significant cost savings.

This paper proposes two novel nature inspired decision level fusion techniques, Cuckoo Search Decision Fusion (CSDF) and Improved Cuckoo Search Decision Fusion (ICSDF) for enhanced and refined extraction of terrain features from remote sensing data. The developed techniques derive their basis from a recently introduced bio-inspired meta-heuristic Cuckoo Search and modify it suitably to be used as a fusion technique. The algorithms are validated on remote sensing satellite images acquired by multispectral sensors namely LISS3 Sensor image of Alwar region in Rajasthan, India and LANDSAT Sensor image of Delhi region, India. Overall accuracies obtained are substantially better than those of the four individual terrain classifiers used for fusion. Results are also compared with majority voting and average weighing policy fusion strategies. A notable achievement of the proposed fusion techniques is that the two difficult to identify terrains namely barren and urban are identified with similar high accuracies as other well identified land cover types, which was not possible by single analyzers.

Abstract The near chora (agricultural land) of Tauric Chersonesos was investigated using multiyear remote sensing data and field surveys. The boundaries of the land plots were studied with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology and an analysis of satellite images. Reliable reconstruction of the borders has been done for 231 plots (from a total of about 380), which is approximately 53% of the Chersonesean chora. During the last 50 years, most of the ancient land plots have been destroyed by modern buildings, roads, or forests. However, in the 1960s, a significant part of the chora was still preserved. Changes in preservation with time were studied with the aid of satellite images that were made in 1966 and 2015. During that period, it was found that the number of plots with almost-complete preservation decreased from 47 to 0. Those land plots whose preservation was better than 50% dropped from 104 to 4. A temporal map shows this decline in preservation. It was found that the areas of land plots could be determined accurately with satellite images; compared to field surveys, this accuracy was about 99%.

Remote sensing data are most often used in water bodies’ extraction studies and the type of remote sensing data used also play a crucial role on the accuracy of the extracted water features. The performance of the proposed water indexes among the various satellite images is not well documented in literature. The proposed water indexes were initially developed with a particular type of data and with advancement and introduction of new satellite images especially Landsat 8 and Sentinel, therefore the need to test the level of performance of these water indexes as new image datasets emerged. Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2A image of part Volta River was used. The water indexes were performed and then ISODATA unsupervised classification was done. The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient values range from 98.0% to 99.8% and 0.94 to 0.98 respectively. Most of water bodies enhancement indexes work better on Sentinel 2A than on Landsat 8. Among the Landsat based water bodies enhancement ISODATA unsupervised classification, the modified normalized water difference index (MNDWI) and normalized water difference index (NDWI) were the best classifier while for Sentinel 2A, the MNDWI and the automatic water extraction index (AWEI_nsh) were the optimal classifier. The least performed classifier for both Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2A was the automatic water extraction index (AWEI_sh). The modified normalized water difference index (MNDWI) has proved to be the universal water bodies enhancement index because of its performance on both the Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2A image.

This paper presents an approach to describe patterns in remote-sensed images utilising fuzzy logic. The truth of a linguistic proposition such as “Y isF” can be determined for each pattern characterised by a tuple in the database, where Y is the pattern andFis a summary that applies to that pattern. This proposition is formulated in terms of primary quantitative measures, such as area, length, perimeter, and so forth, of the pattern. Fuzzy descriptions of linguistic summaries help to evaluate the degree to which a summary describes a pattern or object in the database. Techniques, such as clustering and genetic algorithms, are used to mine images. Image mining is a relatively new area of research. It is used to extract patterns from multidated satellite images of a geographic area.

The development of technological progress provides more opportunities for indirect monitoring of changes in the environment. Remote sensing is one of The most accessible and reliable sources of information. In this work, we used satellite images from the Landsat family. The theoretical justification of the research question is given. The research methodology was developed. Collection and processing of satellite images for various time periods. A series of schematic maps based on remote sensing Data has been created. As a result of digitization of satellite images, 9 glacier contours were obtained by year. We determined the area of the Romantics glacier and found that it lost at least 60% of its original area. These studies were used to build a series of cartographic schemes that clearly show the reduction of the glacier area. It is concluded that the use of remote sensing allows you to solve problems, monitoring the object. The use of this method allows not only to save time for field work, but also material costs for expedition equipment and various equipment. This method can be tested on any objects.

The study focuses on the mangroves in two districts namely, Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban. Mumbai, a coastal megacity, is a financial capital of the country with high population density. Mumbai is facing depletion of coastal resources due to land scarcity and large developmental projects. Thus, it is important to monitor these resources accurately and protect the stakeholders’ interest. Cloud-free satellite images of IRS P6 LISS III of 2004 and 2013 were procured from National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Hyderabad. Two bands of visible and one band of NIR were utilized for landcover classification. Supervised Classification with Maximum Likelihood Estimator was used for the classification. The images were classified into various landcovers classes namely, Dense Mangroves, Sparse Mangroves and Others. Two software’s namely, ERDAS Imagine and GRAM++ were used for landcover classification and change detection analysis. It was observed that the total mangrove area in Mumbai in 2004 and 2013 was 50.52 square kilometers and 48.7 square kilometers respectively. In the year 2004 and 2013, contribution of sparse mangroves in the study area was 72.31 % and 87.06% respectively.

The research was aim at assessing the change in the Built-up Index of Uyo metropolis and its environs from 1986 to 2018, using remote sensing data. To achieve this, a quantitative analysis of changes in land use/land cover within the study area was undertaken using remote sensing dataset of Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI sensor images of 1986, 2000 and 2018 respectively. Supervised classification, using the maximum likelihood algorithm, was used to classify the study area into four major land use/land cover types; built-up land, bare land/agricultural land, primary swamp vegetation and secondary vegetation. Image processing was carried out using ERDAS IMAGINE and ArcGIS software. The Normalised Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) was calculated to obtain the built-up index for the study area in 1986, 2000 and 2018 as -0.20 to +0.45, -0.13 to +0.55 and -0.19 to +0.63 respectively. The result of the quantitative analysis of changes in land use/land cover indicated that Built-up Land had been on a constant and steady positive growth from 6.76% in 1986 to 11.29% in 2000 and 44.04% in 2018.
