Improved change vector analysis (ICVA) has recently been promoted as an effective algorithm for multi-class change detection. Unlike the conventional change vector analysis (CVA) that works on two-dimensional data, the ICVA works on multidimensional data. However, ICVA has limitations when the change vector is fraught with similar direction cosine values. In this article, a new algorithm, named median change vector analysis (MCVA) has been proposed for multi-class change detection.
Urban land-use, land-cover classification through watershed segmentation in the V–I–S feature space
This article introduces an innovative approach using marker-controlled watershed segmentation (WS) in the Vegetation–Impervious Surface–Soil (V–I–S) feature space for urban land-use and land-cover (LULC) classification. The complement (e.g., the inverse) of the V–I–S feature space image shows depressions, which can be treated as topographic watersheds and they correspond to LULC classes. WS partitions the complement of V–I–S feature space image into LULC regions based on user-specified initial markers.
Supply of Private Acreage for Recreational Deer Hunting in Georgia
Understanding factors that influence the supply of private acreage for lease hunting has become increasingly important to sustaining hunting. Improving on existing studies that mostly utilized landowners' responses from contingent surveys, we adopted a different approach to this question by analyzing 2009 market data from Georgia counties.
‘Caring for country’: a review of Aboriginal engagement in environmental management in New South Wales
This article discusses some emerging models of Indigenous engagement in environmental management in New South Wales and urges expansion of such engagement. NSW Aboriginal people own only around one per cent of the state's land, which suggests that land ownership and rights-based approaches to Aboriginal participation in environmental management are insufficient in NSW. Alternative approaches that recognise Aboriginal responsibilities to ‘care for country’ are needed.
Restoring the bush on private land: perspectives of landholders in Victoria
Change in the extent and quality of native vegetation in rural landscapes in Victoria has not occurred evenly, or predictably, across the state over the past 50 years. There is variation in the presence of remnant native vegetation across land tenure, agronomic potential and from site-specific historical events. Even when there is an increase in native vegetation on farmland, it is uncertain how different landholders perceive this change and the extent to which environmental programs influence their management.
