GEOMATICS ANALYSIS ON LAND USE LAND COVER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IN PRECAMBRIAN TERRAIN OF CHITRADURGA DISTRICT KARNATAKA, INDIA

Earth's land use/land cover (LC/LU) classification provides information particularly on natural resources, mapping and monitoring. There is a significant change on LC/LU across the globe due to the climatic changes, rapid increase in population and over demand of the growing economic minerals. The present aim is to map, implement and monitor the land use/land cover classification using high-tech tools of geomatics in database gene ration, analyses and information extraction. Land use/land cover maps are prepared using satellite images in conjunction with collateral data like Survey of India (SoI) toposheets of 1:50,000 scale. Remote Sensing (RS) satellite data with its synoptic view and multispectral data provides essential information in proper planning of LU/LC conditions of larger areas.
