<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Land Use/ Land Cover (LU/LC) is a major driving phenomenon of distributed ecosystems and its functioning. Interpretation of remote sensor data acquired from satellites requires enhancement through classification in order to attain better results. Classification of satellite products provides detailed information about the existing landscape that can also be analyzed on temporal basis. Image processing techniques acts as a platform for analysis of raw data using supervised and unsupervised classification algorithms. Classification comprises two broad ranges in which, the analyst specifies the classes by defining the training sites called supervised classification where as automatically clustering of pixels to the defined number of classes namely the unsupervised classification. This study attempts to perform the LU/LC classification for Paonta Sahib region of Himachal Pradesh which is a major industrial belt. The data obtained from Sentinel 2A, from which the stacked bands of 10<span class="thinspace"></span>m resolution are only used. Various classification algorithms such as Minimum Distance, Maximum Likelihood, Parallelepiped and Support Vector Machine (SVM) of supervised classifiers and ISO Data, K-Means of unsupervised classifiers are applied. Using the applied classification results, accuracy assessment is estimated and compared. Of these applied methods, the classification method, maximum likelihood provides highest accuracy and is considered to be the best for LU/LC classification using Sentinel-2A data.</p>

Land use/ land cover (LULC) classification is a key research field in remote sensing. With recent developments of high-spatial-resolution sensors, Earth-observation technology offers a viable solution for land use/land cover identification and management in the rural part of the cities. There is a strong need to produce accurate, reliable, and up-to-date land use/land cover maps for sustainable monitoring and management. In this study, SPOT 7 imagery was used to test the potential of the data for land cover/land use mapping. Catalca is selected region located in the north west of the Istanbul in Turkey, which is mostly covered with agricultural fields and forest lands. The potentials of two classification algorithms maximum likelihood, and support vector machine, were tested, and accuracy assessment of the land cover maps was performed through error matrix and Kappa statistics. The results indicated that both of the selected classifiers were highly useful (over 83% accuracy) in the mapping of land use/cover in the study region. The support vector machine classification approach slightly outperformed the maximum likelihood classification in both overall accuracy and Kappa statistics.

<p>Rapid development in certain urban area will affect its natural features. Therefore, it is important to identify and determine the changes occur for further analysis and future development planning. This process will influence several factors such as area development, environmental issues and human social activities. The selection of remote sensing data and method will derive the accurate land use land cover maps. This research study accessed the classification accuracy of different classifier approach for land use land cover classification in urban area. The objective of this paper is to compare the accuracy of the classification for each technique used. The study was conducted in a highly urbanized area in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The dataset used for this study is the multi temporal LANDSAT satellite imageries for the year of 2001,2006,2011 and 2016. The pre-processing and analysis of the dataset has been done using software ENVI 5.3. Five land use classes (Urban/built up area, Forest, Agriculture, Water Body and fallow land) were identify for classification process. The classification approach for this study is the supervised classification with two algorithms namely Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The overall accuracy and kappa statistic of the classification indicate that support vector machine algorithm was more accurate than maximum likelihood algorithm for five different time intervals.Therefore, this classification approach is acceptable and highly recommended for mapping the changes of land cover.</p>

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Due to concerns of recent earth climate changes such as an increase of earth surface temperature and monitoring its effect on earth surface, environmental monitoring is a necessity. Environmental change monitoring in earth sciences needs land use land cover change (LULCC) modelling as a key factor to investigate impact of climate change phenomena such as droughts and floods on earth surface land cover. There are several free and commercial multi/hyper spectral data sources of Earth Observation (EO) satellites including Landsat, Sentinel and Spot. In this paper, for land use land cover modelling (LULCM), image classification of Landsat 8 using several mathematical and machine learning algorithms including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and a combination of SVM, ML and RF as a fit-for-purpose algorithm are implemented in R programming language and compared in terms of overall accuracy for image classification.</p>

Abstract. The present study addresses the potential of RADARSAT-2 data for Land Use Land Cover (LULC) Classification in parts of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Texture measures of the original SAR data were obtained by the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Results suggested False Colour Composite (FCC) of Mean, Homogeneity and Entropy showed a good discrimination of different land cover classes. Further, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was also applied to the eight texture measures and FCC of Principal components is generated. Unsupervised classification is carried out for the above generated FCCs and accuracy assessment is carried out. The result of classification shows that the PCA generated from GLCM texture measures could obtain higher accuracy than using only the classification carried out by texture measures. Overall results of the study suggested possible use of single polarization and single date Radarsat-2 data for LULC classification with better accuracy using PCA generated image.

Remote sensing is widely used to capture the images of land use/land cover on earth. This paper studies on the land use changes in Lojing, Kelantan in 1989 dan 2006. The land use is then classified, and the classification scheme was adopted from United States Geological Survey (USGS) Land Use/ Land Cover Classification System. Supervised classification method has been used since it was proved by other research to be more accurate compared to unsupervised classification. Accuracy assessment was conducted to calculate the accuracy of the land use map produced so that at the end, a good quality of land use map is produced. The findings of this study is that, there had been an insignificant land use changes between the year 1989 and 2006. The conclusion is, Lojing had been experiencing changes in term of land use due to the increased socioeconomic activities especially agriculture and logging at the highlands of Lojing.
