Multitemporal Satellite Image Database Classification for Land Cover Inventory and Mapping

Satellite Image Processing for Land Use and Land Cover Mapping

In this paper, urban growth of Bangalore region is analyzed and discussed by using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat satellite images. Urban growth analysis helps in understanding the change detection of Bangalore region. The change detection is studied over a period of 39 years and the region of interest covers an area of 2182 km 2 . The main cause for urban growth is the increase in p...

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

Spatial Classification for Land Cover Mapping

Zhe Jiang, [email protected] Abstract: My research explores novel computational techniques to map the physical cover (e.g., forests) of the earth’s surface from satellite images. Processing these images is labor-intensive and a significant burden on scientists. Existing methods ignore spatial information and assume that pixels are statistically independent. Consequently, they produce erroneous map...

Comparing the Capability of Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 Satellite Imagery in Land Use and Land Cover Mapping Using Pixel-based and Object-based Classification Methods

Introduction: Having accurate and up-to-date information on the status of land use and land cover change is a key point to protecting natural resources, sustainable agriculture management and urban development. Preparing the land cover and land use maps with traditional methods is usually time and cost consuming. Nowadays satellite imagery provides the possibility to prepare these maps in less ...

Effect of Training Class Label Noise on Classification Performances for Land Cover Mapping with Satellite Image Time Series

Supervised classification systems used for land cover mapping require accurate reference databases. These reference data come generally from different sources such as field measurements, thematic maps, or aerial photographs. Due to misregistration, update delay, or land cover complexity, they may contain class label noise, i.e., a wrong label assignment. This study aims at evaluating the impact...
