3-D viewed vegetation landscapes generated from day and night time AVHRR data

摘要

This study aims at using daytime and nighttime AVHRR data to characterize terrain environments. The 3-D terrain view, draped on the CC image of three AVHRR derived bands, daytime vegetation temperature index (VTI), day-nighttime temperature difference (DT) and LSTn-derived elevation (ELE), illustrated vegetation landscapes in which can be used for forest degradation on fragile highland and monitoring topographic-based land uses.
