MAPPING OF FUEL WOOD TREES IN KOLAR DISTRICT
USING REMOTE SENSING DATA AND GIS
Spatial (village, taluk, district maps) and non-spatial data (demography,
population, etc.),
Survey of India maps of scale 1:50,000 used to generate vector layers of
road network, administrative boundaries, contours, drainage network, etc.
Village revenue maps-digitised to map resources at village level,
Village wise vector layer showing all trees (species wise) was prepared through
an extensive field survey using GPS (Global Positioning System)
Remotely sensed data of 23.5 m ( IRS-LISS-III) and 5.8 m spatial resolution
(IRS-PAN) having a cloud cover less than 2 percent - for land cover and land
use analyses. Classification of this data requires collection of primary data
(Ground control points) to correlate the ground information with remotely
sensed data.
