  • Decision Tree Repository and Rule Set Based Mingjiang River Estuarine Wetlands Classifaction
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-3, 2018 ISPRS TC III Mid-term Symposium “Developments, Technologies and Applications in Remote Sensing”, 7–10 May, Beijing, China DECISION TREE REPOSITORY AND RULE SET BASED MINGJIANG RIVER ESTUARINE WETLANDS CLASSIFACTION Wenyan Zhang , Xintong Li *, Wei Xiao College of Geography, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou ,350007, China; KEY WORDS:Landsat Satellite Image, Texture Feature Enhancement, Object-Based Classification, Wetland Mapping, Repository, Rule Set ABSTRACT: The increasing urbanization and industrialization have led to wetland losses in estuarine area of Mingjiang River over past three decades. There has been increasing attention given to produce wetland inventories using remote sensing and GIS technology. Due to inconsistency training site and training sample, traditionally pixel-based image classification methods can’t achieve a comparable result within different organizations. Meanwhile, object-oriented image classification technique shows grate potential to solve this problem and Landsat moderate resolution remote sensing images are widely used to fulfill this requirement. Firstly, the standardized atmospheric correct, spectrally high fidelity texture feature enhancement was conducted before implementing the object-oriented wetland classification method in eCognition. Secondly, we performed the multi-scale segmentation procedure, taking the scale, hue, shape, compactness and smoothness of the image into account to get the appropriate parameters, using the top and down region merge algorithm from single pixel level, the optimal texture segmentation scale for different types of features is confirmed.Then, the segmented object is used as the classification unit to calculate the spectral information such as Mean value, Maximum value, Minimum value, Brightness value and the Normalized value.
