Multi Spectral Scanner “MSS” and Panchromatic Components Difference of Al- Haditha Dam Region Using GIS and Remote Sensing Techniques

Abstract

The object of the present study was to monitor the components that had containing topography such as (water, mud, grass or vegetation, soil, and rock) of Al-Haditha Dam region, by applying remote sensing techniques. Satellite Landsate MSS (RGB) and Panchromatic imagery for the same region captured in the same time have been used. The variation of images gives a very good optimizations result and the comparison appears clearly. Moreover, investigate the effects bands in studying of Al- Haditha Dam topography for each satellite images. To fulfill this goal, unsupervised classification techniques have been used to classify, trace and detect the rejoin of the studied area, depended on the dataset of satellite image. Moreover, cell algorithms include statistics cell, statistics zonal, and statistics neighbors have been used to achieve the purpose of the study. Reclassification (supervised classification) has been used to merge and isolated some region, which is secondary considering features or Hybrid, such us building, hills, salt region and distortions. Finally, area calculation for each class of features of topography has been calculated. In order to perform the comparison and monitoring for the container of Al- Haditha Dam with another studies, the results are likely benefits for land-cover mapping and change detection applications, in addition to know which of the used spectral bands are good in detecting and observing these features.
