Evaluation of land use/land cover changes in Mekelle City, Ethiopia using Remote Sensing and GIS [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Ecology and Software, 2013
Land use is a dynamic phenomenon that changes with time and space due to anthropogenic pressure and development. Evaluating the existing land use and its periodic change is useful for urban planners, policy makers and natural resource managers.

Employing Crowdsourced Geographic Information to Classify Land Cover with Spatial Clustering and Topic Model

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Land cover classification is the most important element of land cover mapping and is a key input to many societal benefits. Traditional classification methods require a large amount of remotely sensed images, which are time consuming and labour intensive.
