A single-scale object-based change-detection classifier can distinguish only global changes in land cover, not the more granular and local changes in urban areas. To overcome this issue, a novel class-specific object-based change-detection method is proposed. This method includes three steps: class-specific scale selection, class-specific classifier selection, and land cover change detection. The first step combines multi-resolution segmentation and a random forest to select the optimal scale for each change type in land cover. The second step links multi-scale hierarchical sampling with a classifier such as random forest, support vector machine, gradient-boosting decision tree, or Adaboost; the algorithm automatically selects the optimal classifier for each change type in land cover. The final step employs the optimal classifier to detect binary changes and from-to changes for each change type in land cover. To validate the proposed method, we applied it to two high-resolution data sets in urban areas and compared the change-detection results of our proposed method with that of principal component analysis k-means, object-based change vector analysis, and support vector machine. The experimental results show that our proposed method is more accurate than the other methods. The proposed method can address the high levels of complexity found in urban areas, although it requires historical land cover maps as auxiliary data.

This paper focuses on the crucial role that remote sensing plays in divining land features. Data that is collected distantly provides information in spectral, spatial, temporal and radiometric domains, with each domain having the specific resolution to information collected. Diverse sectors such as hydrology, geology, agriculture, land cover mapping, forestry, urban development and planning, oceanography and others are known to use and rely on information that is gathered remotely from different sensors. In the present study, IRS LISS IV Multi-spectral data is used for land cover mapping. It is known, however, that the task of classifying high-resolution imagery of land cover through manual digitizing consumes time and is way too costly. Therefore, this paper proposes accomplishing classifications by way of enforcing algorithms in computers. These classifications fall in three classes: supervised, unsupervised, and object-based classification. In the case of supervised classification, two approaches are relied upon for land cover classification of high-resolution LISS-IV multispectral image. These approaches are Maximum Likelihood and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Finally, the paper proposes a step-by-step procedure for optical image classification methodology. This paper concludes that in optical data classification, SVM classification gives a better result than the ML classification technique.

ABSTRAK Penelitian pemetaan mangrove di Sungai Liong, Bengkalis Provinsi Riau sangat terbatas, sehingga ketersediaan data spasial di wilayah ini masih sangat terbatas. Pemanfaatan citra satelit dapat dijadikan alternatif dalam menyediakan data spasial secara efektif dan efesien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan mangrove sampai tingkat komunitas menggunakan citra sentinel 2B dengan metode klasifikasi berbasis objek/OBIA dan membandingkannya dengan teknik klasifikasi berbasis piksel. Algoritma yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah support vector machine (SVM). Pengembangan skema klasifikasi mangrove pada penelitian ini di bagi menjadi 2 level, yaitu kelas penutup lahan di sekitar mangrove dan kelas komunitas mangrove. Data yang digunakan untuk klasifikasi kelas penutup lahan adalah data foto udara yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan pesawat tanpa awak (unmanned aerial vehicle/UAV) dan untuk klasifikasi komunitas menggunakan data transek tahun 2013. Akurasi keseluruhan  (OA) yang diperoleh untuk klafikasi penutup lahan mangrove dengan kedua teknik klasifikasi berbasis objek dan piksel berturut-turut adalah 78,7% dan 70,9%. Sedangkan akurasi keseluruhan (OA) untuk klasifikasi komunitas mangrove berbasis objek dan piksel berutru-turut yaitu 76,6% dan 75,0%. Sekitar 7,8% peningkatan akurasi pemetaan penutup lahan dan sekitar 1,6% peningkatan akurasi pemetaan komunitas mangrove yang diperoleh dengan metode klasifikasi berbasis objek. ABSTRACTResearch on mangrove mapping at the Liong River Bengkalis Riau Province was very limited, therefore the spatial data availability of mangrove in Liong River is also very limited. The use of satellite remote sensing to map mangrove has become widespread as it can provide accurate, effecient, and repeatable assessments. The purposed of this study was to map mangrove at the community level using sentinel 2B imagery based on object-based classification method (OBIA) and it compared pixel-based classification at Liong River, Bengkalis, Riau Provinc. This study was used support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The scheme classification use is that land cover and mangrove community. The classification data of land cover was collected using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and community mangrove was using transect data of 2013. The result of land cover classification and community mangrove indicated that object-based classification technique was better than pixel-based classification. The highest an overall accuracy of land cover is 78.7% versus 70.9%, whereas mangrove community is 76.6 versus 75.0%. Approximately 7.8% increase in accuracy can be achieved by object-based method of classification for land cover and 1.6% for mangrove community.

ABSTRACT. The goal of this study was to improve and evaluate the applicability of a methodological procedure of pipeline monitoring to reveal indicators of thirdparty activities that may interfere with the structural preservation of pipes and environmental damages. The procedure was developed from the technique of changedetection through object-based classification of land cover, using high resolution satellite images applied to a section of the Guararema-Mauá – São Paulo pipeline, Brazil. In the seven-month monitoring period performed with RapidEye imaging, an area of 2.024 km2 was identified as area of change, corresponding to 3.30% of thetotal area analyzed. For the monitoring performed with Ikonos imaging during a four-month period, changes were detected in an area of 0.187 km2, which correspondedto 1.92% of the total area analyzed. The main changes in land cover were from Bare Soil to Grassland, due to changes related to the different stages of agriculturalactivity and reforestation areas, as well as the natural regeneration of vegetation over the pipeline and solid waste landfill. The results of the change detection of landcover from object-based classification were close to the technique reference limit for areas with great complexity and diversity of space occupation.Keywords: structural preservation of pipes, object-based classification, high resolution satellite images. RESUMO.

The southeastern Amazon region has been intensively occupied by human settlements over the past three decades. To evaluate the effects of human settlements on land-cover and land-use (LCLU) changes over time in the study site, we evaluated multitemporal Landsat images from the years 1984, 1994, 2004, 2013 and Sentinel to the year 2017. Then, we defined the LCLU classes, and a detailed “from-to” change detection approach based on a geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) was employed to determine the trajectories of the LCLU changes. Three land-cover (forest, montane savanna and water bodies) and three land-use types (pasturelands, mining and urban areas) were mapped. The overall accuracies and kappa values of the classification were higher than 0.91 for each of the classified images. Throughout the change detection period, ~47% (19,320 km2) of the forest was preserved mainly within protected areas, while almost 42% (17,398 km2) of the area was converted from forests to pasturelands. An intrinsic connection between the increase in mining activity and the expansion of urban areas also exists. The direct impacts of mining activities were more significant throughout the montane savanna areas. We concluded that the GEOBIA approach adopted in this study combines the advantages of quality human interpretation and the capacities of quantitative computing.
