This study evaluates suitable combined datasets of spectral data and texture measure for LU/LC classification using supervised classification with Artificial Neural Networks. In this study, 10 datasets were MS, MS and Mean, MS and Variance, MS and Contrast, MS and Angular second moment, MS and Correlation, MS and Homogeneity, MS and Entropy, MS and Dissimilarity and MS and Semivariogram. All datasets were classified into 10 LU/LC types that consisted of urban and built-up area, paddy field, cassava, sugarcane, eucalyptus, orchard, forest land, water body, scrub and abandoned land. -

The climate change impacts on crop yield Bank (ADB) through the project, “Vulnerability to possibly leads to food insecurity globally. Scientists have projected a major climate change in the middle Rainfall Zonation of Thailand of the 21st century (2045-2065). The average monthly maximum temperature in Thailand is expected to increase by 3-4ºC and monthly minimum temperature is expected to increase by more than 4ºC throughout the country (Chinvanno 2010). The regions, ie, the Northeast, Central and the Northern, received less than 1,200 mm annual rainfall (1970-2005) and it is the driest area of the country. Agriculture in Thailand is already impacted by frequent drought or dry spells, flood, unpredictable rainfall and heat waves. Farmers have suffered from crop yield loss, diseases and insect pest damages, leading to household food and income insecurity. Migration for sustenance by finding another job is adapted as an alternative that they have chosen over the years. Farmers’ have been adapting to climate risk continuously without sufficient awareness and support.
