Application Research of Remote Sensing in the Field of Land Use and Land Cover

摘要

As a new high-technology with large amount of information, strong temporal resolution, high efficiency and low cost, remote sensing provided a useful tool for related researches of land use and land cover in different spatial and temporal scales. Firstly, concepts and characteristics of the remote sensing technology were introduced. Secondly, its applications were elaborated in land use and land cover such as land resources survey, land resources change monitoring, land use evaluation, overall planning of land use and land consolidation aspects. At last, future application trends and several aspects noticed were pointed out.
