Research Advance in Remote Sensing to Land Desertification Monitoring

Abstract:

This Land desertification has been a worldwide ecological and environmental problem. It is the significance for effective remedy of land desertification to monitor the desertification ,know well the present situation ,intensity as well as dynamic variation rules of the desertification. In recent years, remote sensing has become an important technology to monitor land desertification.Firstly, we summarize the research progress in monitoring land desertification using remote sensing data acquisition.Then, we discuss about themethods to extract information of land desertification from remote sensing image, which includes artificial visual interpretation, supervised classification, unsupervised classification, hierarchical decision tree classification, neural network classification and spectral mixture analysis£¬and also we comprehensively compare the strength and weaknesses of each method. Finally, We point out the problems in the remote sensing technology application to land desertification monitoring and put forward the development prospects in the application of remote sensing to monitoring land desertification.
