Automatic extraction of information in a glacial terrain using remote sensing

Remote sensing plays an important role to discriminate and delineate snow and ice cover in a glacial terrain which are used to estimate the snow melt run-off and also assist in environmental studies. The study area, Manasarovar Lake and the surrounding Himalayan region is the major source of water for Indus and Brahmaputra river system.
