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.

Taking the Futian District as the research area, this study proposed an effective urban land cover mapping framework fusing optical and SAR data. To simplify the model complexity and improve the mapping results, various feature selection methods were compared and evaluated. The results showed that feature selection can eliminate irrelevant features, increase the mean correlation between features slightly, and improve the classification accuracy and computational efficiency significantly. The recursive feature elimination-support vector machine (RFE-SVM) model obtained the best results, with an overall accuracy of 89.17% and a kappa coefficient of 0.8695, respectively. In addition, this study proved that the fusion of optical and SAR data can effectively improve mapping and reduce the confusion between different land covers. The novelty of this study is with the insight into the merits of multi-source data fusion and feature selection in the land cover mapping process over complex urban environments, and to evaluate the performance differences between different feature selection methods.

Abstract. Environmental change monitoring in earth sciences needs land use land cover change (LULCC) modeling to investigate the impact of climate change phenomena such as droughts and floods on earth surface land cover. As land cover has a direct impact on Land Surface Temperature (LST), the Land cover mapping is an essential part of climate change modeling. In this paper, for land use land cover mapping (LULCM), image classification of Sentinel-1A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Ground Range Detected (GRD) data using two machine learning algorithms including Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) are implemented in R programming language and compared in terms of overall accuracy for image classification. Considering eight different scenarios defined in this research, RF and SVM classification methods show their best performance with overall accuracies of 90.81 and 92.09 percent respectively.

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.

The software cost prediction is a crucial element for a project’s success because it helps the project managers to efficiently estimate the needed effort for any project. There exist in literature many machine learning methods like decision trees, artificial neural networks (ANN), and support vector regressors (SVR), etc. However, many studies confirm that accurate estimations greatly depend on hyperparameters optimization, and on the proper input feature selection that impacts highly the accuracy of software cost prediction models (SCPM). In this paper, we propose an enhanced model using SVR and the Optainet algorithm. The Optainet is used at the same time for 1-selecting the best set of features and 2-for tuning the parameters of the SVR model. The experimental evaluation was conducted using a 30% holdout over seven datasets. The performance of the suggested model is then compared to the tuned SVR model using Optainet without feature selection. The results were also compared to the Boruta and random forest features selection methods. The experiments show that for overall datasets, the Optainet-based method improves significantly the accuracy of the SVR model and it outperforms the random forest and Boruta feature selection methods.
