  • Official Media
    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.

    International Geoinformatics Research and Development Journal Rare vegetation classification of remotely sensed images, Gobustan National Park, Azerbaijan Yelena M. G.1, Adil Y. G.2, Rustam B. R.3, Maral H. Z.4 1 R.I.S.K. Company, Baku, Azerbaijan E-mail: [email protected] 2 SAHIL IT Company, Baku, Azerbaijan 3 Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences, Baku, Azerbaijan 4 Institute of Botany of the National Academy of Sciences, Baku, Azerbaijan Abstract This study concentrated to develop a remote sensing and GIS method to estimate rare vegetation in Gobustan, Azerbaijan. For the study SPOT 5 of May 2007 image was procured. The paper analyses the supervised classification method Maximum Likelihood Classification algorithm. A number of steps were involved in the process of the study, including Geographical Data Base design, creation of Specialized GIS Environment and classification. Study reveals that optical remote sensing techniques could effectively be used to assess rare vegetation and map them accordingly with a reliable accuracy of 74.2%. Keywords: Remote sensing, vegetation, classification, SPOT5 Introduction Satellite remote sensing has become a common tool of investigation, prediction and forecast of environmental change and scenarios through the development of GIS-based models and decision- support instruments that have further enhanced and considerably supported decision making [1], [2], [3]. With the advent of new high spatial and spectral resolution satellite, new applications for precision mapping and accurate monitoring have become feasible. Remote sensing is expected to provide us an efficient tool for vegetation monitoring. In particular, as vegetation is characterized by a mixture of vegetation, soil and water in mixed conditions, remote sensing is expected to delineate the relation between them.
