Materials

Temporal remote sensing data of Landsat TM and Indian remote Sensing (IRS) were used to analyse LULC changes, urbanisation process, etc.  The remote sensing data were supplemented with the Survey of India toposheets of 1:50000 and 1:250000 scale to generate base layers of the administrative boundary, drainage network, etc. Training data using pre calibrated Global Positioning System (GPS) and virtual online spatial maps such as Google Earth and Bhuvan were used for geometric correction, classification, verification and validation of the classified results (see TableI).
