Using the band ratio classification method to detect the regions that need to remove sedimentation in Tigris River

Abstract EN

Land Sat Satellite ETM + image have been analyzed to detect the different depths of regions inside the Tigris River in order to detect the regions that need to remove sedimentation in Baghdad in Iraq Country.

The scene consisted of six bands (without the thermal band), It was captured in March The 2001 variance in depth is determined by applying the rationing technique on the bands and 9.1.GIS 5 program is used to apply the rationing technique and determined the results.
