Land Use And Land Cover Change Detection: Remote Sensing Approaches And Challenges

Abstract

Land use and land cover change detection is a critical aspect of environmental monitoring and management. This paper provides an overview of remote sensing approaches for detecting changes in land use and land cover, focusing on optical, radar, and LiDAR remote sensing techniques. The paper discusses the principles and applications of these techniques, highlighting their importance in monitoring urbanization, deforestation, and other land cover changes. Additionally, the paper identifies challenges in land use and land cover change detection, such as data availability, spatial resolution, classification accuracy, and data interpretation. Future directions and recommendations for improving remote sensing technologies and data processing techniques are also discussed, emphasizing the need for enhanced collaboration between remote sensing experts and land use planners. Overall, this paper underscores the significance of remote sensing in understanding and managing land use and land cover changes for sustainable development.
