LISS-III and PAN images for the study area (Kolar District) were geometrically corrected taking the location ( Latitude and Longitude) values of known points from the image as well as their corresponding ground values. These points were then resampled to get the corrected image. Boundary, roads network, streams and contour layers of the study area were digitised using SOI toposheets of scale 1:50,000. These vector layers were overlaid on the geometrically corrected image and the study area was cropped from the LISS-III and PAN imageries.
