This paper presents a new classification method for high-spatial-resolution remote sensing images based on a strategic mechanism of spatial mapping and reclassification. The proposed method includes four steps. First, the multispectral image is classified by a traditional pixel-based classification method (support vector machine). Second, the panchromatic image is subdivided by watershed segmentation. Third, the pixel-based multispectral image classification result is mapped to the panchromatic segmentation result based on a spatial mapping mechanism and the area dominant principle. During the mapping process, an area proportion threshold is set, and the regional property is defined as unclassified if the maximum area proportion does not surpass the threshold. Finally, unclassified regions are reclassified based on spectral information using the minimum distance to mean algorithm. Experimental results show that the classification method for high-spatial-resolution remote sensing images based on the spatial mapping mechanism and reclassification strategy can make use of both panchromatic and multispectral information, integrate the pixel- and object-based classification methods, and improve classification accuracy.

Efficient harbor extraction is essential due to the strategic importance of this target in economic and military construction. However, there are few studies on harbor extraction. In this article, a new harbor extraction algorithm based on edge preservation and edge categories (EC) is proposed for high spatial resolution remote-sensing images. In the preprocessing stage, we propose a local edge preservation algorithm (LEPA) to remove redundant details and reduce useless edges. After acquiring the local edge-preserve images, in order to reduce the redundant matched keypoints and improve the accuracy of the target candidate extraction method, we propose a scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) keypoints extraction method based on edge categories (EC-SIFT): this method greatly reduces the redundancy of SIFT keypoint and improves the computational complexity of the target extraction system. Finally, the harbor extraction algorithm uses the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to identify the harbor target. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm effectively removes redundant details and improves the accuracy and efficiency of harbor target extraction.

Fine-scale, accurate intra-urban functional zones (urban land use) are important for applications that rely on exploring urban dynamic and complexity. However, current methods of mapping functional zones in built-up areas with high spatial resolution remote sensing images are incomplete due to a lack of social attributes. To address this issue, this paper explores a novel approach to mapping urban functional zones by integrating points of interest (POIs) with social properties and very high spatial resolution remote sensing imagery with natural attributes, and classifying urban function as residence zones, transportation zones, convenience shops, shopping centers, factory zones, companies, and public service zones. First, non-built and built-up areas were classified using high spatial resolution remote sensing images. Second, the built-up areas were segmented using an object-based approach by utilizing building rooftop characteristics (reflectance and shapes). At the same time, the functional POIs of the segments were identified to determine the functional attributes of the segmented polygon. Third, the functional values—the mean priority of the functions in a road-based parcel—were calculated by functional segments and segmental weight coefficients. This method was demonstrated on Xiamen Island, China with an overall accuracy of 78.47% and with a kappa coefficient of 74.52%. The proposed approach could be easily applied in other parts of the world where social data and high spatial resolution imagery are available and improve accuracy when automatically mapping urban functional zones using remote sensing imagery. It will also potentially provide large-scale land-use information.

Canopy closure (CC) is an important parameter in forest ecosystems and has diverse applications in a wide variety of fields. Canopy closure estimation models, using a combination of measured data and remote sensing data, can largely replace traditional survey methods for CC. However, it is difficult to estimate the forest CC based on high spatial resolution remote sensing images. This study used China Gaofen-1 satellite (GF-1) images, and selected China’s north temperate Wangyedian Forest Farm (WYD) and subtropical Gaofeng Forest Farm (GF) as experimental areas. A parametric model (multiple linear regression (MLR)), non-parametric model (random forest (RF)), and semi-parametric model (generalized additive model (GAM)) were developed. The ability of the three models to estimate the CC of plantations based on high spatial resolution remote sensing GF-1 images and their performance in the two experimental areas was analyzed and compared. The results showed that the decision coefficient (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and relative root mean square error (rRMSE) values of the parametric model (MLR), semi-parametric model (GAM), and non-parametric model (RF) for the WYD forest ranged from 0.45 to 0.69, 0.0632 to 0.0953, and 9.98% to 15.05%, respectively, and in the GF forest the R2, RMSE, and rRMSE values ranged from 0.40 to 0.59, 0.0967 to 0.1152, and 16.73% to 19.93%, respectively. The best model in the two study areas was the GAM and the worst was the RF. The accuracy of the three models established in the WYD was higher than that in the GF area. The RMSE and rRMSE values for the MLR, GAM, and RF established using high spatial resolution GF-1 remote sensing images in the two test areas were within the scope of existing studies, indicating the three CC estimation models achieved satisfactory results.
