Abstract

The spatial resolution of spaceborne instrument has increased substantially in the three decades since Landsat-1 was launched. Higher spatial resolution has made some applications possible. But it has also brought about new challenges in ground cover classification. At a resolution around 1 meter, vegetation often displays distinct textures. Hence texture may make differentiation among some cover types possible. Ikonos panchromatic and multispectral data are used to examine how spatial features improve classification accuracy. In this study, textural features are extracted from co-occurrence matrices, contextual features are derived from neighborhood properties, and maximum likelihood method is used for classifications. It is shown that for the test data both types of spatial features, and especially the contextual measures, can significantly improve the classification accuracies. Discrete wavelet transform is used to extract textural features for two types of vegetation. Transformed divergence, a measure of separability, is shown much enhanced when textural features are included.
