A Review of IRS-1C Applications in Urban and Regional Studies, and Infrastructure Planning

Abstract

The multifaceted data from Indian remote sensing satellite (IRS)-1C with Panchromatic (PAN, 5.8 m, 0.50-0.75 lm), Linear Imaging Self-Scanning Sensor-III (LISS-III, 23.5 m, four multi-spectral bands) and Wide Field Sensor (WiFS, 188 m, red and near-infrared bands) sensors onboard, along with stereo imaging and 5-day revisit capability have been effectively utilised for mapping, monitoring, planning and development of urban and regional areas. It made possible to explore urban and regional areas either independently or in combination with other remote sensing data for base map preparation, land use survey and planning, growth modelling, environment and hazards analysis, utilities and infrastructure planning, etc. This review article articulates the scale and mapping potential of IRS-1C data for urban and regional areas, data fusion methods and information retrieval based on visual or digital image processing techniques, including advanced classifiers. It recapitulates the application potential demonstrated in last 25 years in urban and regional studies, and for infrastructure planning.

A Bibliometric Analysis: Remote Sensing Literature in Dimensions.ai Database

“…Remote sensing refers to the identification of planet earth by analyzing various physical events such as detecting electromagnetic radiation. The use of remote sensing is currently very widely used in various fields, including education (Botto et al, 2022;Li et al, 2020;Tiwari et al, 2021), industry (Hao et al, 2022), mining (Song et al, 2020), defense and security (Mehta et al, 2021), regional planning (Kumar et al, 2021), to the health sector (Ye, 2022).…”

Characterization of the Peri-Urban Area of Timisoara Municipality Based on the LST Index

“…Due to the factors influencing the peri-urban areas and the dynamics of these areas, different methods of studying these areas have been used, among which remote sensing correlated with databases, offers viable analysis solutions (Addo, 2010;Kumar et al, 2021).…”
