Project Overview
Objective assessment of urban green spaces for planning purposes is necessary for optimal distribution of urban green spaces. This involves development of easy to use comprehendible indices for the assessment of urban green spaces using remote sensing derived parameters. Further, availability of high-resolution multiband data can also assist in identification of vegetation species as well as assessment of plant stress in urban areas.
