Change Detection Methods Using Band Ratio and Raster to VectorTransform

Abstract

LandSat Satellite ETM+ images have been analyzed to detect changes in
Euphrates river boundaries area at the middle of Iraqi country from the year 1990 to
the year 2001. Changes are determined by applying the rationing method on the
bands 3 and 5 then using Raster to Vector (R V)Transform method .GIS 9.1 program
is used to apply the rationing method and Raster to Vector (R V)Transform
technique then determined the results (changes in boundaries area were calculated).
