Land Use and Land Cover Change Detection using GIS Techniques

Land Use Land Cover (LULC) is a critical part in understanding the interactions of the human activities with the earth and in this manner it is important to screen and distinguish the progressions to keep up a maintainable domain. Digital change detection is the process that aides in deciding the progressions connected with LULC properties with reference to geo-registered multi temporal remote sensing data. In the recent times, remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) is extremely profitable and beneficial in giving current land use data. The main aim of this book is to investigate LULC Changes in Hyderabad district (India) utilizing multi temporal remote sensing data (Landsat 8 2013, and Landsat 8 2016). The study area is characterized into four classes: Built up area, vegetation region, water bodies and barren land. Classification accuracy is likewise assessed utilizing field knowledge acquired from a topographical map and Google earth.
