Linear Spectral Mixture Analysis of Tm Data for Land-use and Land-cover Classification in Rondônia, Brazilian Amazon
The mixed pixels in remotely sensed data are one of the main error sources resulting in poor classification accuracy using traditional classification methods. In order to improve classification accuracy, linear spectral mixture analysis (LSMA) has been used to handle the mixed pixel problems. This paper aims to achieve an appropriate processing routine of LSMA through the comparison of classifi...
متن کاملEvaluating TERRA-1 MODIS data for discrimination of tropical secondary forest regeneration stages in the Brazilian Legal Amazon
[1] We establish the potential of TERRA-1 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) data for discriminating and mapping tropical secondary forest regeneration stages in the Brazilian Legal Amazon, in terms of both their age and pathway. In using MODIS data, many difficulties encountered in local to regional scale mapping and discrimination of regeneration stage using NOAA Advanced Very H...
متن کاملThe importance of remnant native vegetation of Amazonian submontane forest for the conservation of lizards.
Forest fragmentation affects animal population dynamics mainly by loss of habitat and disruption of animal movement. Lizard assemblages are affected by environmental changes, but, depending on their ecological needs, some species might be more vulnerable than others. The southern Amazon suffers accelerated anthropic actions replacing natural environments by farmland (crops and pasture). This re...
متن کاملLand-cover Mapping in the Brazilian Amazon Using SPOT-4 Vegetation Data and Machine Learning Classification Methods
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of deriving a land-cover map of the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, for the year 2000, using data from the 1 km SPOT-4 VEGETATION (VGT) sensor. For this purpose we used a VGT temporal series of 12 monthly composite images, which were further transformed to physicalmeaningful fraction images of vegetation, soil, and shade. Classificat...
متن کاملComparison of Land-cover Classification Methods in the Brazilian Amazon Basin
Numerous classifiers have been developed and different classifiers have their own characteristics. Controversial results often occurred depending on the landscape complexity of the study area and the data used. Therefore, this paper aims to find a suitable classifier for the tropical land cover classification. Five classifiers – minimum distance classifier (MDC), maximum likelihood classifier (...
