The integration of Artificial Intelligence contributes to environmental sustainability by enabling the detection and monitoring of green land, supporting efforts in climate stabilisation, sustainable agriculture and ecosystem conservation. The research focuses on identifying regions with existing vegetation and detecting vacant or unused land appropriate for plantation activities. It enables users to easily identify regions rich in plant life as well as those lacking vegetation, aiding in strategic environmental planning. The app was developed to display the satellite images and the corresponding output. By analysing satellite imagery, the app provides a visual overview of plant distribution and vacant land. The proposed application uses AI and remote sensing data to provide accurate vegetation mapping and identify empty spaces. By identifying both planted and barren zones, the app contributes to better land management and ecosystem planning. Introduction: With fast urban growth and climate change, making good land use plans is more important now than ever. Traditional ways of checking land use often depend on manual surveys and old data, which can be slow and not very accurate. Traditional methods of checking plant cover often take a long time because they rely on manual surveys. AI is the main technology that allows the app to spot and tell the difference between areas with plants and those that are empty or not used. By using AI, the app can quickly look through big and complex data sets, like satellite images, drone photos, or photos taken from the ground, to give useful information for managing how land is used. The ability to find empty spaces that are good for planting can help with reforestation, making cities greener, and farming in a way that is better for the environment. This app uses satellite images along with machine learning to show a clear picture of land cover, helping to distinguish between areas with plants and areas without. The app is useful for different people, like farmers trying to grow more crops, city planners looking to add more green areas, and environmentalists working to restore habitats. This app helps by connecting available data with useful actions, giving users a tool to detect and watch for plants in different kinds of land. It offers a solution that is scalable and automatic, making it better and faster.
IJAAR Vol. 6 No. 38 ISSN – 2347-7075 Sonali Purushottam Kumawat 230 Research looks at how AI can help make environmental sustainability better in many areas, such as protecting biodiversity, maintaining ecosystems, etc. A big part of this is using AI to monitor the environment, which helps make better decisions and take effective actions. Because of this, adding AI technologies can greatly improve how we work on environmental sustainability. As AI becomes more powerful and widely used, its role in helping industries focused on sustainability is growing. Especially in areas with a big impact on the environment, AI can bring big positive changes. Right now, we are at a key point in time: “advances in big data”, “computer hardware”, and “AI algorithms” have made it possible to solve environmental problems that were once thought impossible. With AI, taking care of our planet – including the oceans – “feels more achievable than ever.” In this study, we look at five different ways AI can help with environmental sustainability, giving a full overview of its potential effect in major areas. Remote Sensing Foundations for Vegetation Mapping: Remote sensing technologies, including satellite images and drone data, are central to modern land assessment. Optical remote sensing uses visible and near-infrared light to capture information that helps measure vegetation health and structure through tools like NDVI and EVI. Radar-based methods, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), add to this by offering images in all weather conditions and detailed insights into forest structures. Traditional Classification Methods: Earlier, mapping efforts used rulebased or threshold-based methods, like using decision trees based on NDVI or object height. These were fast and easy to understand for the broad categorisation of vegetation, though they were not very accurate. Better methods, like supervised machine learning classifiers such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), decision trees, and k-Nearest Neighbours, have improved accuracy and adaptability, especially when there is a lot of data. Techniques like ensemble learning, especially Random Forest, have increased performance and reliability across different environments. Deep Learning and Advanced AI Techniques: The use of deep learning has greatly improved remote sensing analysis. Models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), 1D/2D/3D variants, autoencoders, and GANs are now common in processing hyperspectral images and classifying land cover. Models such as DeepLabV3+ use advanced convolution techniques in an encoder-decoder setup to precisely identify different vegetation areas. Meta-Analytical Reviews and Methodological Insights: Studies have reviewed the latest developments in remote sensing and AI detection. These highlight key challenges, such as detecting objects at different scales, in rotated positions, or that are small and faint. They also suggest ways to improve detection accuracy and model reliability in the future. Another review focuses on using deep learning for change detection, classifying methods into supervised, unsupervised, or transfer learning approaches. Sensor Fusion and Explainable AI (XAI) in Mapping: Using both optical and radar data improves classification and allows for continuous monitoring, even when there are clouds.
IJAAR Vol. 6 No. 38 ISSN – 2347-7075 Sonali Purushottam Kumawat 231 Explainable AI techniques, like SHAP values, are being used more to make AI decisions easier to understand – this is especially important for important tasks like identifying different tree species or tracking vegetation. Real-World Applications and New Tools: AI has real-world uses in many areas: Agricultural mapping: AI helps in precision farming by showing land cover, which helps assess crop health and manage natural resources better.

IJAAR Vol. 6 No. 38 ISSN – 2347-7075 Sonali Purushottam Kumawat 233 Conclusion: This work presents an AI-based approach for identifying and monitoring planting and non-planting zones by utilising spatial data extracted through dimension prediction techniques from Google Maps. The methodology combines satellite imagery analysis with machine learning to automatically detect land usability based on surface patterns, vegetation coverage, and spatial attributes. By applying AI models to geospatial inputs, the system efficiently classifies large areas without relying on manual fieldwork. The integration of Google Maps enhances the framework by providing consistent and widely accessible mapping data, making the approach scalable and adaptable across different regions. The proposed system demonstrates strong potential for applications in precision agriculture, land resource planning, and environmental monitoring. Future enhancements may involve integrating deep learning models, incorporating time-series data, or refining the system for region-specific agricultural practices. References: 1.
