Abstract

In the semi-arid and arid region in northern Shaanxi Province, 11 TM images were selected as information source. On the platform of ERDAS IMAGINE, based on the classification signatures established according to the training fields by in situ surface investigations and with the support of various information from GIS, the computer-supervised classification was used to extensively investigate the surface eco-environmental factors, such as the vegetation, land use type and vegetation coverage. The total area covers 84000 Km². The average precision of classification is 83.78%, Kappa coefficient 0.819. Thematic maps have been compiled at the scale of 1:100,000. The features of surface eco-environment in this area are briefly analyzed on the basis of the remote sensing investigation results.
