Review Article of Landscape Metrics Based on Remote Sensing Data

摘要: This article describes metrics in order to quantify landscape structure. Landscape are offered and designed be as versatile possible using several programs. In this paper it is attempted (a) collect all the found literature, (b) classify them, (c) evaluate them through their use. An extensive investigation of literature has been performed. Small discussion each metric provided its concept, definition, use, way calculation some cases contribution sustainable development. The frequency used papers per index taken into account. most least six have following order: Area/Density/Edge; Isolation Proximity; Diversity; Contagion Interspersion; Shape; Connectivity. Moreover, divided five groups, i.e. group A till E. Concluding, an explanation results regarding four indices two from B.
