Satellite imagery as a source of information about landscape

The thesis contains research on landscape usage and the direction of its changes, in the area of the city of Cracow, with the use of satellite imagery. For this purpose, in addition, several color compositions were made, which were further used to perform image classification. This classification was performed with supervision, accordingly to the class patterns established by the user. These were made, by selecting representative regions, for strictly specified ground objects.As the result of research, the obtained data was discussed and compared. This data is a significant source of information about landscape and landscape usage, which implied the possibility of using satellite imagery in various scientific, landscape-related applications.     ...

Tourist valorisation of Krakow outskirts using aerial images and satellite images

The aim of the present publication is to research the capability of photogrammetrics and remote sensing materials application in purpose of city of Krakow tourist valorization. Aerial photos and digital satellite images Landsat 7 ETM (Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus) were used in the paper. Remote sensing multispectralimages are characterized by three-dimensional resolution 30 m. Satellite images have been subjected by supervised classification method of smallest distance, than areas with big and middle natural environments values were chosen.Result has been of service for farther analysis. Aerial photos, where the same areawas presented, were used to interpret some objects of antropocentric origins, which were characterized of tourist attractiveness. ...
