Abstract Remote sensing (RS) is a very reliable and effective way to monitor the environment and landscape changes. In today’s world topographic maps are very important in science, research, planning and management. It is quite possible to detect the changes based on RS data which is obtained at two different times. In this paper, we propose an optimal technique that handles problems like urban green space destruction and detection of crop stress assessment. Firstly, the optimal preprocessing is performed on the given RS dataset, for image enhancement using geometric correction and image registration. Secondly, we propose the improved cat swarm optimization… More >

Abstract Sound pollution is one of the most important urban problems which endangers mental and physical health of the residents. This study was aimed to assess the influence of different tree species, including Fraxinus rotundifolia, Robinia pseudoacacia, Platanus orientalis, Platycladus orientalis, and Pinus eldarica, in reducing noise pollution in the Abidar Forest Park. A further objective was to identify the contaminated areas of Sanandaj city and to propose suitable noise absorbent tree species in consistent conditions. For each tree stands the noise measurements were performed during intervals at frequencies of 250, 500 and 1000 Hz, besides an open area with the… More >
