MAPPING OF FOREST COVERAGE OF THE SARPINSKY ICLAND (VOLGOGRAD OBLAST)
Abstract
The paper presents the results of applying the method of contour mapping for the assessment of the current state of forest plantations on the Sarpinsky Island (Volgograd oblast) with the use of geoinformation analysis techniques. The materials of Landsat-8 space observations were used and a fine-tuned combination of channels was selected for the interpretation of characteristic land use types in the Volga–Akhtuba floodplain area by means of the ISODATA algorithm. As a source of data about model areas we propose to combine topographic maps and remote sensing data. A contour map and a raster model of the coefficient of forest coverage are the result of grid mapping. An appropriate algorithm of computing and mapping was elaborated for ArcGIS software.
