Abstract
The hyperspectral images have so far been widely utilized in monitoring and detecting the changes in a broad range of environmentally related matters. The hyperspectral image analysis yields maps that show spatial dispersion of physical and ecological characteristics of the terrain. Within the scope of the current study, an integrated Fuzzy-MCDM in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) platform was used to map the health condition of Ramsar forest. Spectral indices can provide different methods for identifying vegetation coverings. For forest health analysis, spectral indices such as NDWI, CRI1, PSRI, PRI
