Study on Karst Information Identification of Qiandongnan Prefecture Based on Rs and Gis Technology

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Karst area is a pure natural resource base, at the same time, due to the special geological environment; there are droughts and floods alternating with frequent karst collapse, rocky desertification and other resource and environment problems, which seriously restrict the sustainable economic and social development in karst areas. Therefore, this paper identifies and studies the karst, and clarifies the distribution of karst. Provide basic data for the rational development of resources in the karst region and the governance of desertification. Due to the uniqueness of the karst landscape, it can't be directly recognized and extracted by computer in remote sensing images. Therefore, this paper uses the idea of "RS+DEM" to solve the above problems. this article is based on Landsat-5 TM imagery in 2010 and DEM data, proposes the methods to identify karst information research what is use of slope vector diagram, vegetation distribution map, distribution map of karst rocky desertification and other auxiliary data in combination with the signs for human-computer interaction interpretation, identification and extraction of peak forest, peaks cluster and isolated peaks, and further extraction of karst depression. Experiments show that this method achieves the "RS + DEM" mode through the reasonable combination of remote sensing images and DEM data. It not only effectively extracts karst areas covered with vegetation, but also quickly and accurately locks down the karst area and greatly improves the efficiency and precision of visual interpretation. The accurate interpretation rate of karst information in study area in this paper is 86.73%.

Extracting Information on Rocky Desertification from Satellite Images: A Comparative Study

“…In addition to comparative analyses of open-access image data for mapping rocky desertification, it is worthwhile to compare the performance of different information extraction methods applied to the image data. Similar to other applications of remote sensing, traditional manual image interpretation has been used for mapping rocky desertification [6,29]. However, visual interpretation is a time-consuming process that requires a great deal of expert knowledge [30].…”
