Mapping and assessment of wetland conditions by using remote sensing images and POI data

Wetlands are one of the most valuable natural resources on earth and play an important role in preserving biodiversity. However, due to economic development and human disturbances, many wetlands across the world have deteriorated and disappeared over the past several decades. By using remote sensing...
