Data

Time series spatial data acquired from the data archive (http://glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/data) of Landsat Series Multispectral sensor (57.5m) and thematic mapper (28.5m) sensors for the period 1973 to 2010. The IRS 1C data (23.5m) of Chennai for the year 2012 was acquired through NRSC (http://nrsc.gov.in), and the field data for the study regions was collected through pre-calibrated Global Positioning System (GPS). In order to rectify geometric errors of the data acquired through space borne sensors the Ground Control Points (GCP’s) were collected from field through GPS and also from geo-registered topographic maps of the Survey of India. The data were geometrically corrected and were resampled to 30 m for uniformity in the spatial resolution of Landsat and IRS 1C data. The study region (administrative boundary with 10 km buffer) were cropped from the respective scenes of RS data.
