This study tries integrating remote sensing and GPS to map the land use of Kolli Hills.

The accurate & precise land use mapping can be done through field surveys but it would be a time consuming and expensive task. Instead, this study tried to apply the advantages of integrating remote sensing and GPS to map the land use of Kolli Hills with limited and proper ground truth survey. Use of Remote Sensing and GPS has found to be greatly advantageous in biodiversity conservation in terms of mapping vegetation cover and area estimation in an area with heterogeneous distribution of crop varieties like Kolli Hills.
