Monitoring of the Changes in Water Rate for Al-Razaza Lake Using Remote Sensing Techniques

Monitoring of the changes is the process that helps in determining the changes associated with land use and land cover features with reference to geo-registered multi temporal satellite images, in this paper series of satellite images represent the same area (Razaza region) have been gathered from different sensors such asLandsat (TM 1985, TM 1995, and Landsat 8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) 2015. Preprocessing such as atmosphere correction and rectification has been done. Monitoring of the changes in water content inrazaz lake have been achieved using different remote sensing techniques like image classification and target detection where three methods of supervised clarification such as maximum likelihood, support vector machines (SVM) and spectral angular mapper (SAM) have been done as well as two techniques of target detection such as matching filter and ACE method were used to detect and compute the area of target feature.
