A Hierarchical Object Oriented Method for Land Cover Classification of SPOT 5 Imagery

Land cover classification with a high accuracy is necessary, especially in waste dump area, accurate land cover information is very important to eco-environment research, vegetation condition study and soil recovery destination. Funded by the international cooperation project Novel Indicator Technologies for Minesite Rehabilitation and sustainable development, a hierarchical object oriented lan...

Land-Cover Classification in the Brazilian Amazon with the Integration of Landsat ETM+ and Radarsat Data

Land Use and Land Cover Change in Guangzhou, China, from 1998 to 2003, Based on Landsat TM /ETM+ Imagery

Land use and land cover change is a major issue in global environment change, and is especially significant in rapidly developing regions in the world. With its economic development, population growth, and urbanization, Guangzhou, a major metropolitan in South China, have experienced a dramatic land use and land cover (LULC) change over the past 30 years. Fast LULC change have resulted in degra...

Land-cover Sub-pixel Classification Using Linear Mixture Model on Landsat Etm + Data in Egypt

One of the most important problems facing land cover mapping effort in Egypt is intensive and mixed landcover areas, which represent the majority of agricultural productive areas. This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of using Linear Mixture Model as a sub pixel classification technique to extract fraction images from Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper data, which may help in fut...

Rule-based classification of SPOT imagery using object-oriented apporach for detailed land cover mapping

Preparation of land cover / land use maps for large areas, based on automatic classification of high-resolution satellite data is the objective of many application programmes, e.g. GSE Land Monitoring Services. The crucial point for this kind of activity is to apply optimal classification approach, which will ensure high class recognition accuracy and classification repeatability. Among differe...
