NDVI Differencing and Post-classification to Detect Vegetation Changes in Halabja City, Iraq.

This study presents vegetation change detecting in Halabja city, Iraq by using Landsat-5Thematic Mapper images. This city was shelled with chemical weapons on 16 March, 1988. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) image differencing and post–classification techniques were applied. The NDV...
