This research utilized various methods for extracting soil characteristics from Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS imagery in the Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam. In this study, Object-Based Oriented Classification (OBOC) method was used to extract information about land cover (focusing on rock outcrops) basis of TGSI, NDVI, and NDBI indicators. The moisture determined by examining correlation between Land Su...

An image dataset from the Landsat OLI spaceborne sensor is compared with the Landsat TM in order to evaluate the excellence of the new imagery in urban landcover classification. Widely known pixel-based and object-based image analysis methods have been implemented in this work like Maximum Likelihood, Support Vector Machine, k-Nearest Neighbor, Feature Analyst and Sub-pixel. Classification resu...
