4. INTRODUCTION
High productivity and growth rates achieved during the
Green Revolution era are no longer being sustained to
meet the needs of still increasing population in the
country.
Past growth sources have nearly exhausted and there is
also no scope for expansion of crop land.
Unless we look beyond what we have with modern
technologies for improving productivity.
Shrinking natural resource base
Declining quality of resources and
Environmental degradation issues
will imply increasing threat to our ability to meet the basic
needs of the growing population of the country.
5. • Recent development in the field of
geoinformatics particularly in the field of
Satellite Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS
technologies have special advantage.
• These information would enable us to
provide valuable scientific insights into
the factors contributing to the low
productivity which in turn would form the
essential ingredients to evolve site
specific suitable and effective strategies
to enhance it.

REMOTE SENSING HISTORY:
12. Indian remote sensing programme
First resource technology satellite(LAND SAT) was launched in
1972.
Remote sensing technology in India got further boost following the
successful launch of Aryabhata in 1975.
Bhaskara -1 and Bhaskara -2 are launched to carry out remote
sensing on experimental basis in 1979 and 1981.
The first Indian remote sensing satellite, IRS-1A was launched in
1988.
Subsequent to IRS-1A, more satellites namely IRS-1B, IRS-P2,
IRS-1C, IRS-P3, IRS-1D and IRS-P4 (ocean sat) were launched in
1991,1994, 1995 ,1996, 1997 and 1999 respectively.

15. COMPONENTS OF THE GPS SYSTEM.
The Space Segment The Control Segment The User Segment
Satellites Monitor stations
Master control station
User receivers
16. SPACE SEGMENT
• The Space Segment of the system consists of the
GPS satellites broadcasting radio signals from
space.
• The GPS operational constellation consists of 24
satellites, including 21 navigational SVs and 3 active
spares orbiting the earth.
• These orbits therefore repeat the same ground
track, as the earth circles beneath them, once each
day.
• There are six orbital planes with nominally four SVs
in each, equally spaced 60° apart.
18. CONTROL SEGMENT
• The Control Segment consists of a system of
tracking stations located around the world.
• A Master Control station is located at Falcon Air
Force Base, Colorado, USA.
• This Master Control station uploads signal and
clock data to each satellite. The SVs then send
subsets of the orbital signal data to the GPS
receivers comprising the user segment.
19. USER SEGMENT
• The GPS User Segment consists of the GPS
receivers and the user community. GPS receivers
convert SV signals into position, velocity, and time
estimates.
• Four satellites are required to compute the four
dimensions of X, Y, Z (position) and Time.
20. GEO-STATISTICS
•Geo-statistics is a branch of applied statistics
developed by George Matheron of the Centre de
Morophologie Mathematicque in Fontainebleau,
France.
•Geo-statistics originated from the mining and
petroleum industries, starting with the work by Danie
Krige in the 1950's and was further developed by
Georges Matheron in the 1960's.
•The original purpose of Geo-statistics centered on
estimating changes in ore grade within a mine.
21. DEFINITIONS OF GEO-
STATISTICS.
• Establish quantitative measure of spatial correlation to be used
for sub-sequent estimation and simulation. (Deutsch, 2002).
• “Geo-statistics offers a way of describing the spatial continuity
of natural phenomena and provides adaptations of classical
regression techniques to take advantage of this continuity.”
(Isaaks and Srivastava, 1989)
• “Geo-statistics can be regarded as a collection of numerical
techniques that deal with the characterization of spatial
attributes, employing primarily random models in a manner
similar to the way in which time series analysis characterizes
temporal data.”(Olea, 1999)
22. Geo-statistics is not tied to assumptions of
population distribution model .
Geo-statistics incorporates both the statistical
distribution of the sample data and the spatial
correlation among the sample data.

35. Spatial stratification
“spatial stratification means formation of strata in
such a manner that each stratum consists of units
which are spatially homogeneous”.
SAMPLE SELECTION AND ESTIMATION
PROCEDURES
Consider a population of N areal units
Let
Y- a character under the study
X- auxiliary character
β- a first lag spatial correlation
36.
37. 1) Contigious Unit Based Spatial
sampling (CUBSS)
Let
Ω(y1 ,y2 ,...,yn ) set of all units in the population
y1 ,y2 ,...,yn the units drawn at 1st
,2nd
….,nth
draw
respectively
S1*,S2 *,….,Sn * denote sample set contains units from N
units after 1st
,2nd
,…,nth
draws respectively
S1*={y1 }, S2*={y1 , y2} ,…,Sn*={y1 , y2 ,…,yn}
α1,α2 ,…,αn be the probabilities of selection of
y1 , y2 ,…,yn respectively.
38. Selection of first unit in the sample
First unit in the sample is selected by SRS
The probability of selecting ith
unit at first draw will
be 1/N i.e. αi1 = α1 = 1/N
where i=1,2,….,N
Where αi1 is probability of selecting i
th
unit in first draw.
SELECTION OF SECOND UNIT IN THE SAMPLE:
step 1: select the random number from
1 to N-1(say i)
Step 2: 1 to M (say r), where M is the maximum value of
the auxiliary character.
39. CONT…
Step 3: select the unit i if (r ≤ Ui2 Xi ) where Ui2 is given as
Ui2 =(1-βd12
)
step 4: reject the unit i and repeat the above process if (r>Ui2 Xi )
The probability of selecting iit
unit in second draw is
where s1
*
is the set of earlier selected units
40. Selection of subsequent units
For selecting a sample of size n, the above procedure is repeated till n
units are selected with U’i s changing at each draw after selection of
each unit. The general term ui for nth
draw is given as
d1n=1 if 1st
& nth
units selected are 1st
lag neighbor
Thus, for the case of nth
draw
41. Estimation procedure :
let T1 be the estimator of population mean
Thus T1 is given by
Here T1 is said to be an unbiased estimator of
population mean. Thus the estimate of variance of the
estimator T1 is expressed as

2] STRATIFIED CONTIGOUS UNIT BASED
SPATIAL SAMPLING (stratified CUBSS)
Let
Ωh be the set of all the units in the hth
stratum

second….nth
draw respectively from the hth
stratum.

selected from Nh units
Let α1h ,α2h ,…..αnh be the probabilities of selection of
y1h, y2h ,…ynh in the hth
stratum respectively
2] STRATIFIED CONTIGOUS UNIT
BASED SPATIAL SAMPLING (stratified
CUBSS)
43. selection of first unit in the
sample
The first unit in each stratum is selected by
simple random sampling. Clearly, the probability
of selecting ith
unit at first draw in hth
stratum will
be 1/Nh.
αih1 =α1h=1/Nh i=1,2,…..,Nɏ
where αih1 is the probability of selecting ith
unit in
the first draw in the hth
stratum.
44. SELECTION OF SUBSEQUENT UNITS
Second unit from remaining Nh –1 units is selected from
each stratum using following steps
step1: select a random number from 1 to Nh-1 (say i)
step2: select another number at random from 1 to Mh
(say r), where Mh is the maximum value of the auxiliary
character in the hth
stratum.
step3: select the unit i if (r ≤ Uih2 Xih)
where Uih =(1- ) and Xih be the size measure of the ith
unit in the hth
stratum.
45. Step 4: reject the unit i and repeat the process if
(r >Uih2 Xih ).
It can be seen that the sum of the
probabilities at the second draw is unity in each
stratum. For selecting a sample of size n, the
above procedure is repeated till nh units are
selected with Ui ‘s changing after selection of
each unit in the stratum.
46. #

sampling (MCUBSS)
• In this method the first unit is selected by the method of
pps to sampling. It is known that the probability of
selecting any unit by pps is given by Xi /X ,
such that clearly the probability of selecting ith
unit at the
first draw will be αi1 = αi= Xi/X i=1,2,…,N whereɏ αi1
is the probability of selecting ith
unit in the first draw.

56. CRITERIA FOR COMPARISON OF
DIFFERENT ESTIMATORS
To compare the performance of the proposed sampling
scheme with the various existing sampling schemes
The percentage relative bias (RB),relative efficiency (RE), as
compared to the estimator based on SRSWOR and
coefficient of variation (CV) has been calculated using the
following formulas
percent relative bias :
RB =(Ti - Ȳ)/ *100Ȳ
where Ti is the sample mean for ith
estimator ; i=1,2,3,…..9 and is the population meanȲ
57. #
• RELATIVE EFFICIENCY: RE for the estimator Ti
(i=1,2,….9) as compared to the estimator T6 is given
by
RE=v(T6)/v(Ti)
where V(T6) is the variance of the estimator (T6) based
on SRSWOR and V(Ti) is the variance of the
estimator Ti for i=1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9.
Coefficient of variance:
CV=(√v(Ti)/Ti )*100
59. The results clearly indicate that the percent relative bias is
very low ranges from 0.003 to 0.74.
Relative efficiency : There is observed that there is
remarkable gain in efficiency for all the proposed estimators
as compared to the traditional estimators.
Among the proposed estimators T4 is most efficient than the
other T3 , T2 , and T1
Coefficient of variation of proposed sampling (T1 ,T2, T3 and
T4 ) ranges from 2.28 to 6.37 where as in proposed
estimators (T5 ,T6 T7, T8 and T9) it ranges from 5.95 to 14.25
Thus it indicate that proposed estimators are more stable than
traditional estimators.

Stages in Remote Sensing
The process of remote sensing involves a number of processes starting from energy emission from source to data analysis and information extraction. The stages of remote sensing are described in follows steps:Source of EnergyThe source of energy (electromagnetic radiations) is a prerequisite for the process of remote sensing. The energy sources may be indirect (e.g. the sun) or direct (e.g. radar). The indirect sources vary with time and location, while we have control over direct sources. These sources emit electromagnetic radiations (EMRs) in the wavelength regions, which can be sensed by the sensors.Interaction of EMR with the AtmosphereThe EMR interacts with the atmosphere while traveling from the source to earth features and from earth features to the sensor. During this whole path the EMR changes its properties due to loss of energy and alteration in wavelength, which ultimately affects the sensing of the EMR by the sensor. This interaction often leads to atmospheric noise (it will be discussed in separate topic).EMR Interaction with Earth FeaturesThe incident EMR on the earth features interacts in various ways. It get reflected, absorbed, transmitted & emitted by the features and ground objects. The amount of EMR reflected, absorbed, transmitted and emitted depends upon the properties of the material in contact and EMR itself.Detection of EMR by the remote sensing sensorThe remote sensing device records the EMR coming to the sensor after its interaction with the earth features. The kind of EMR which can be sensed by the device depends upon the amount of EMR and sensor’s capabilities.Data Transmission and ProcessingThe EMR recorded by the remote sensing device is transmitted to earth receiving and data processing stations. Here the EMR are transformed into interpretable output- digital or analogue images.Image Processing and AnalysisThe digital satellite images are processed using specialized software meant for satellite image processing. The image processing and further analysis of satellite data leads to information extraction, which is required by the users.ApplicationThe extracted information is utilized to make decisions for solving particular problems. Thus remote sensing is a multi-disciplinary science, which includes a combination of various disciplines such as optics, photography, computer, electronics, telecommunication and satellite-launching etc.
Attribute Data: Attribute data refers to various types of administrative records, census, field sample records and collection of historical records. Attributes are either the qualitative characteristics of the spatial data or are descriptive information about the geographical location. Attributes are stored in the form of tables, where each column of the table describes one attribute and each row of the table corresponds to a feature.
Spatial Data: Spatial data is spatially referenced data that act as a model of reality. Spatial data represent the geographical location of features for example points, lines, area etc. Spatial data typically include various kinds of maps, ground survey data and remotely sensed imagery and can be represented by points, lines or polygons.
What makes data spatial?
Spatial data has particular characteristics. These can be described in terms of: shape, place and relationship to other spatial data (or geometry, location, and topology - these terms will be explored in lecture 2). It is also necessary to model real world data (such as a road or building) in terms of a geographical representation. For example, a road could be represented as a line and the building perhaps as a small box on a map. These features (line, box) are in fact models of the actual real world features. Sometimes these models are described as objects or entities too. Again this will be discussed in lecture 2.
Another important aspect of spatial data is that it often contains attribute information. That implies that a description of the feature (the road) is held in some form. The description might be the name or the type of road (A, B, Motorway). This information might be held in a database record or simply written or depicted on a map.
Finally spatial data by its very nature implies that relationships are also recorded. When we look at map data, we automatically interpret the relative locations of the spatial data. Computers require more explicit descriptions.
Spatial data thus refers to information that is associated with a location or place. It may be recorded on a map, held as records in a database or even be represented as a photograph. Remember that Geography is, in fact, the study of spatial information and that we are surrounded by geography. You will also discover that most information is either spatial or has a spatial component.
is based on Tobler’s first law of Geography according to which “Everything in space is related to every other thing but points close together are more likely to be similar than the points which are far apart”. In general, two observation points a few meters apart are more likely to have the same altitude than points on two hills some kilometers apart.
a)Rohtak district consist of five tahasils namely maham, bahadurgarh, jaggar and gohana maps of these five tahasils procured from district handbook of census (DHC),1991.the village boundaries of these five tehsil maps were digitized. The five digitized tehsils maps were then merged to obtain the entire village wise map of the district
