AbstractAdopting a low spatial resolution remote sensing imagery to get an accurate estimation of Land Use Land Cover is a difficult task to perform. Image fusion plays a big role to map the Land Use Land Cover. Therefore, This study aims to find out a refining method for the Land Use Land Cover estimating using these steps; (1) applying a three pan-sharpening fusion approaches to combine panchromatic imagery that has high spatial resolution with multispectral imagery that has low spatial resolution, (2) employing five pixel-based classifier approaches on multispectral imagery and fused images; artificial neural net, support vector machine, parallelepiped, Mahalanobis distance and spectral angle mapper, (3) make a statistical comparison between image classification results. The Landsat-8 image was adopted for this research. There are twenty Land Use Land Cover thematic maps were generated in this study. A suitable and reliable Land Use Land Cover method was presented based on the most accurate results. The results validation was performed by adopting a confusion matrix method. A comparison made between the images classification results of multispectral imagery and all fused images levels. It proved the Land Use Land Cover map produced by Gram–Schmidt Pan-sharpening and classified by support vector machine method has the most accurate result among all other multispectral imagery and fused images that classified by the other classifiers, it has an overall accuracy about (99.85%) and a kappa coefficient of about (0.98). However, the spectral angle mapper algorithm has the lowest accuracy compared to all other adopted methods, with overall accuracy of 53.41% and the kappa coefficient of about 0.48. The proposed procedure is useful in the industry and academic side for estimating purposes.

Abstract Adopting a low spatial resolution remote sensing imagery to get an accurate estimation of land-use and land-cover (LU/LC) is a very difficult task to perform. Image fusion plays a big role to map the LU/LC. Therefore, This study aims to find out a refining method for the LU/LC estimating by adopting these steps; (1) apply a three pan-sharpening fusion approaches to combine panchromatic (PAN) imagery has high spatial resolution with multispectral (MS) imagery has low spatial resolution, (2) employing five pixel-based classifier approaches on MS and fused images; artificial neural net (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), parallelepiped (PP), Mahalanobis distance (Mah) and spectral angle mapper (SAM), (3) Make a statistical comparison between classification results. The Landsat-8 image was adopted for this research. There are twenty LU/LC thematic maps were created in this study. A suitable and reliable LU/LC method was presented based on the obtained results. The validations of the results were performed by adopting a confusion matrix. A comparison made between the classification results of MS and all fused images levels. It proved that mapping the LU/LC produced by Gram-Schmidt Pan-sharpening (GS) and classified by SVM method has the most accurate result among all other MS and fused images that classified by the other classifiers, it has an overall accuracy about (99.85%) and a kappa coefficient of about (0.98). However, the SAM algorithm has the lowest accuracy compared to all other adopted methods, with overall accuracy of 53.41% and the kappa coefficient of about 0.48. The proposed procedure is useful in the industry and academic side for estimating purposes. In addition, it is also a good tool for analysts and researchers, who could interest to extend the technique to employ different datasets and regions.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) information is an important data source for modeling environmental variables, so it is essential to develop high quality LULC maps. The hundreds of continuous spectral bands gathered with hyperspectral sensors provide high spectral detail and consequently confirm hyperspectral remote sensing as an appropriate option for many LULC applications. Despite increased spectral detail, issues like high dimensionality, huge volume of data and redundant information, mean that hyperspectral image classification is a complex task. It is therefore essential to develop classification approaches that deals with these issues. Since classification results are directly dependent on the dataset used, it is fundamental to compare and validate the classification approaches in public datasets. With this in mind, aiming to provide a baseline, four classification models in the relatively new hyperspectral HyRANK dataset were evaluated. The classification models were defined with three well-known classification algorithms: Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF). A classification model with SAM and another with RF were defined with the 176 surface reflectance bands. A dimensionality reduction with principal component analysis was carried out and a classification model with SVM and another with RF were defined using 14 principal components as features. The results show that SVM and RF algorithms outperformed by far the SAM in terms of accuracy, and that the RF is slightly better than the SVM in this respect. It is also possible to see from the results that the use of principal components as features provided an improvement in the accuracy of the RF and an improvement of 28% in the time spent fitting the classification model.</p>

Land resources in India are under severe pressure and it is widely believed that marginal lands are being brought under cultivation. The extent of such changes needs to be known for better land use planning decisions. The present study illustrates the spatio-temporal dynamics of land use land cover of Nagjhari watershed in Bhatkuli block of Amravati, Maharashtra. Multi-temporal high resolution of Sentinel and Landsat satellite data were used to identify the significant positive and negative Land use land cover changes over a decade of 2007 to 2017. From 2007 to 2017, the ‘habitation’ class increased by 34% due to increasing population pressure. There was a decrease in ‘wasteland’ by 10.3%, while the area under ‘agriculture’ decreased by approximately 4.7% because of the increased area under ‘habitation’ and ‘water body’ at Nagjhari watershed. The biggest change occurred in land use class ‘water body’ increased sharply from 2013-17 by 62.7 per cent due to consequence of state policy of watershed development that was implemented after 2014. The forest class recorded maximum loss (18.3%) due to increasing population maximum land converted into habitation. The study shows overall classification accuracy as 85.46% and kappa coefficient (K) of 0.85. Kappa coefficient indicated that land use land cover assessment from remote sensing data show the best accuracy. These finding will help in deciding land use policy for future and its impact on land management of the watershed.

Abstract. In the history of mankind, one of the vibrant geographical phenomena is urbanization. The urbanization process is characterized by the expansion of the city from the core to peripheral areas which includes economic development, social, political forces and population density. Very rapid urbanization in the highly populated country like India, which changes natural land cover into urban land use, which is unavoidable. However, the study region Tiruppur is known as the knitwear capital of India that induces urban development in the region which results in the modification of the natural land cover. For understating the interaction between the natural landscape and human activities, land use and land cover (LULC) is considered as the important indicator. Research on land-use and land cover changes using remote sensing technology has a long history to evident. The advancement in the Remote Sensing and GIS techniques provide the fine resolution of data sets to proceed. Sentinel-2B imagery was chosen for this study for two main reasons one is that compare to Landsat imagery it has a high spatial resolution of 10 m and its radiometry includes three vegetation red edge bands. These two characteristics make the Sentinel-2B data appealing for LULC mapping. Different types of classification algorithms have been used to perform land use and land cover mapping. The study aims to create land use and land cover classification by making a comparison between different algorithms in Tiruppur by using Sentinel-2B satellite imagery. The commonly known classification algorithms, K-means, IsoData, support vector machines (SVMs), and maximum likelihood (ML) classification are adopted for investigation. This is followed by the selection of training pixels from the remaining classes to perform and compare different supervised learning algorithms for the first- and second-level classification in terms of accuracy rates. Accuracy was assessed through metrics derived from an error matrix, but primarily overall accuracy and kappa coefficient was used in allocating algorithm hierarchy. Finally, after the comparison, the highly accurate algorithm was suggested for the mapping of urban areas. The highest overall accuracy and kappa coefficient was produced by support vector machine (SVM) is due to the algorithm’s relatively small number of complex decision boundaries. The results are helpful to understand the performance of the classification algorithm for the future studies.

Nation has realised the changes in the land surface and the influence of this in the whole ecosystem. The activities of human on land is directly deteriorating the environment quality. This paper mainly focuses on the analysis of the destruction of land cover with the development of land use. The performance of five different Supervised Classification algorithms, which are Parallelepiped, Mahalanobis, Neurel Net, Adaptive Coherence and Spectral Angle Mapper  have been analysed in classifying the Landsat Image of kanyakumari district. Automatic classification of five classes using training data have been performed and the best suitable algorithm for the classification of each class have been analysed. Being a tourism centre with coastal areas on all three sides, the development and the deterioration of kanyakumari district have to be monitored constantly. The proposed system is an automatic approach which helps in the analysis of the patterns of land use and land cover which constantly changes and to map each class clearly and distinct from each other using GIS techniques. The system was evaluated using the performance measures like accuracy and  kappa coefficient using the tools Envi, ArcGIS and QGIS. From the performance analysis, the Spectral Angle Mapper with an overall accuracy  of 97% and kappa coefficient of 0.54 has been selected as the best suitable algorithm for the classification of landsat image of kanyakumari district.
