Application of spectral mixture analysis to Amazonian land-use and land-cover classification

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...

Aggregation and visualization of spatial data with application to classification of land use and land cover

Aggregation and visualization of geographical data are an important part of environmental data mining, environmental modelling, and agricultural management. However, it is difficult to aggregate geospatial data of the various formats, such as maps, census and survey data. This paper presents a framework named PlaniSphere, which can aggregate the various geospatial datasets, and synthesizes raw ...

Land cover land use mapping and change detection analysis using geographic information system and remote sensing

Land cover/land use categories are relevant components in land management. Understanding how land cover/land use change over time is necessary to assess the consequences of humans and natural stressors on the earth’s environment and resources. The aim of the study was to map and monitor the spatial and temporal change in land cover/land use for the periods of 1977, 1991 and 2016 and to predict ...

Historical Image Registration and Land-Use Land-Cover Change Analysis

Historical aerial images are important to retain past ground surface information. The land-use land-cover change in the past can be identified using historical aerial images. Automatic historical image registration and stitching is essential because the historical image pose information was usually lost. In this study, the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm was used for feature ...
