In this paper, we present a new approach to improve extracting accuracy of impervious surfaces. One Landsat TM image of Taiyuan city, Shanxi Province of China was used. After doing test work and analyzing using optimum bands analysis, principal component analysis, and normalized difference impervious surface index, we present the method, optimized band combination. Both unsupervised and supervised classification methods were used to classify the original image, principal component analysis image, normalized difference impervious surface index image, and optimized band combination images we present. The accuracies result of these classifications were assessed by using 256 randomly selected sampling points, and it was found that the overall accuracy the accuracy of optimized band combination method can be reach 87.72%, with the Kappa statistic of 0.85 in impervious surface extraction, it was better than other three methods can get.
Vegetation covering situation is very important for the quality of air quality, soil and water conservation ability and soil forming in an area. By using the remote sensing image of Taiyuan Valley Plain, the application of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and unsupervised classification, the vegetation coverage map which includes non-cultivated land disposition and cultivated land disposition was obtained using ERDAS Imagine software. To evaluate the accuracy of the results, 200 points were sampled randomly, the high spatial resolution remote sensing image from Google Earth was used as the reference. The overall classification accuracy is 82%, with the Kappa statistic of 0.81. By counting the totally pixel acreage, it was gotten that the vegetation coverage was 46% and the cultivated land coverage ratio was 31% in the study area.
A high nonlinear, dispersion flattened hybrid nanofiber with a silicon/silica cross-slot-structure nanocore is firstly proposed and analyzed, which is insensitive to polarization for implementing quasi-TE and quasi-TM fundamental modes transmission due to cross slot effect. Simulation results show that fundamental mode of ultra-small mode effective areas and high nonlinearity at TE and TM polarizations, which are confined in the narrow cross slot by four silicon ribs, can be achieved via this cross sot structure core. Moreover, the cladding of four large-air-holes promotes tailoring the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and enhancing nonlinearity furthermore. Our results indicate that ultra-small Aeff of 0.098μm2 and flat anomalous GVD with less than 13.5 ps.km-1.nm-1 dispersion ripple at C-band are realizable.
