Image classification is one of the crucial techniques in detecting the crops from remotely sensed data. Crop identification and discrimination provide an important basis for many agricultural applications with various purposes, such as cropping pattern analysis, acreage estimation, and yield estimation. Accurate and faster estimation of crop area is very essential for projecting yearly agriculture production for deciding agriculture policies. Remote sensing is a technique that allows mapping of large areas in a fast and economical way. In many applications of remote sensing, a user is often interested in identifying the specific crop only while other classes may be of no interest. Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS-P6) LISS IV sensor image of spatial resolution 5.8 m has been used to identify the sugarcane crop for the Chhapar village of Muzaffarnagar District, India. Classification of satellite data is one of the primary steps for information extraction for crop land identification. In recent years, decision tree approach to image analysis has been developed for the assessment and improvement of traditional statistically based image classification. In this study, ISODATA, MLC, and vegetation indices based decision tree approaches are used for classifying LISS IV imagery. The 11 vegetation index images have been generated for decision tree classification. All the three methods are compared and it is found that the best performance is given by the decision tree method. Vegetation indices based decision tree method for sugarcane classification, the user’s accuracy, producer’s accuracy, overall accuracy, and kappa coefficient were found 88.17, 86.59, and 87.93% and 0.86 respectively. 相似文献
In the present paper, a method of analysis for calculating the pressure intensity corresponding to a given settlement for
eccentrically and obliquely loaded square and rectangular footings resting on reinforced soil foundation has been presented.
The process has been simplified by presenting non-dimensional charts for the various terms used in the analysis, which can
be directly used by practicing engineers. An approximate method has been suggested to find out the ultimate bearing capacity
of such footings on reinforced soil. The results have been validated with the model test results. The procedure has been made
clear by giving an illustrative example. 相似文献
The case of a rigid wall with inclined back face retaining reinforced cohesive-frictional backfill subjected to uniformly
distributed surcharge load has been analyzed using limit equilibrium approach. The analysis considers the stability of an
element of the failure wedge, which is assumed to develop in the reinforced earth mass adjoining the back face of wall. The
non-dimensional charts have been developed for computing the lateral earth pressure on wall and the height of its point of
application above the base of wall. The theoretical findings have been verified by model tests on a rigid wall retaining a
dry cohesive-frictional soil reinforced by geogrid strips. Experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical
predictions. A design example has been included to illustrate the design procedure. 相似文献
Biochar is a carbon-rich and low microbial degrading material obtained after pyrolysis of biomass in the absence or limited content of oxygen. The impact of biochar on hydraulic properties of soil is extensively studied in agricultural and geotechnical or geoenvironmental engineering for potential application in bioengineered structures. While a little study is conducted to assess its effect on soil mechanical properties, especially shear strength. However, the effect of biochar on the combined shear strength and compaction characteristics of soil is not studied. The shear strength of biochar amended soil is thought to be related to the compaction characteristics. In addition, the effect of biochar on the shear strength of the soil is soil and biochar specific. In this study, an attempt was made to investigate and better understand the effect of biochar on the shear strength and compaction characteristics of a clayey sand for potential application in bioengineered structures. Standard proctor, direct shear and unconfined compression tests were conducted on bare soil and soil amended with 5, 10 and 15% (w/w) biochar. The experimental results revealed that the amendment of biochar from 5 to 15% (w/w) decreased the dry density and increased the shear strength parameters such as cohesion (c) and angle of internal friction (ϕ) of the soil. While it decreased the undrained shear strength (cu) at higher compaction density (> 0.95MDD) and increased at lower compaction density (< 0.9MDD). Thus, in undrained condition, the initial compaction density has a strong influence on the shear strength of biochar amended soil. In addition, the increased c and ϕ and decreased dry density in biochar amended soil is observed to increase the stability of slopes (hypothetical). The increase of c and ϕ is believed to be due to the roughness and active chemicals (functional groups) present on the surface of the biochar. The decreased cu at higher density is believed to be due to the lubricating effect by the higher water content.
Classification of Mobile Mapping LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data is a challenge in the research community since the day when laser scanner system were integrated and mounted on vehicles for collection of 3D data in urban environment. The approach proposed here for classifying LiDAR data is analogous to the process followed for classifying data from satellite images. Pixel based and segmentation based methods have been employed in past for classifying images obtained from satellites. These methods were based on spectral properties of objects present in the images. But for Mobile mapping LiDAR data this approach has been applied and tested for the first time. The properties of this data are completely different from that of satellite images. So even if the basic approach remains the same, many changes have to be made in the entire classification process. The paper here aims to propose the basic procedure of using pixel-wise classification on dense 3D LiDAR data. 相似文献
A plain strain problem of an isotropic elastic liquid-saturated porous medium in poroelasticity has been studied. The eigenvalue
approach using the Laplace and Fourier transforms has been employed and these transforms have been inverted by using a numerical
technique. An application of infinite space with concentrated force at the origin has been presented to illustrate the utility
of the approach. The displacement and stress components in the physical domain are obtained numerically. The results are shown
graphically and can be used for a broad class of problems related to liquid-saturated porous media. 相似文献
