Attribution of local climate zones using a multitemporal land use/land cover classification scheme

Land-cover mapping using multitemporal, dual-frequency polarimetric SAR data

Multitemporal land use and land cover classification of urbanized areas within sensitive coastal environments

In the presented methodology, multitemporal Landsat images were used to develop enhanced information about complex assemblages of vegetation and patterns of seasonal land cover variability, thereby facilitating improved land use and land cover (LULC) classification of urbanized areas among sensitive environments along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. For Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 images acquired for l...

Multitemporal RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Classification Using Support Vector Machine

This research investigates the various RADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR features for urban land cover classification using object-based method combining with support vector machine (SVM) and ruled-based approach. Six-dates of RADARSAT-2 fine-beam polarimetric SAR data were acquired in the rural-urban fringe of Greater Toronto Area during June to September, 2008. The major landuse/land-cover classes ...

Combined Land-Cover Classification and Stem Volume Estimation Using Multitemporal ERS Tandem INSAR Data

A radar-based method for producing both land-cover classification and stem volume estimates for the forested areas is demonstrated. The method utilizes multi-temporal INSAR data that is segmented into quasi-homogenous segments, and a semiempirical backscattering-coherence model that is inverted to produce stem volume estimates for the forest segments. Forest stands with known stem volumes are r...

RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Classification: A Multitemporal Dual-Orbit Approach

This research investigates multitemporal dual-orbit RADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR data for urban land cover classification using an object-based support vector machine (SVM). Sixdate RADARSAT-2 high-resolution SAR data in both ascending and descending orbits were acquired in the rural-urban fringe of the Greater Toronto Area during the summer of 2008. The major landuse/land-cover classes include ...
