2/20 Outline • Introduction • Objective • Methodology • Results • Conclusions
3/20 Spatial Resolution is a measurement of the spatial detail in an image, which is a function of the design of the sensor and its operating altitude above the Earth’s surface (Smith, 2012). Classification Factors • Number of mixed Pixel • Number of ROIs • Scale or spatial resolution • Spectral resolution • Temporal resolution
5/20 Objective • To examine effects of pixel size on land use classification in Kathu district, Phuket, Thailand
7/20 Study area: Kathu, Phuket Kamala Kathu Patong
6/20 Data set specification
10/20 Band 1 (Blue) Band 2 (Green) Band 3 (Red) Landsat 5 Spectral Bands Band 4 (NIR) Band 7 (MIR) Band 5 (NIR)
11/20 Band 1 (Red) Band 2 (Green) THEOS Spectral Bands Band 3 (Blue) Band 4 (NIR)
9/20 True Color Landsat 5 THEOS
13/20 RGB (4,3,2) Landsat 5 THEOS
Data Set 12/20 THEOS Landsat 5 Process Overview Unsupervised K-Mean • Classes • Forest • Built-up • Road • Water • Agriculture • Grassland • Bare land Control points Training area Supervised SVMs Test area Land use Classification Map THEOS LandSat 5
14/20 Landsat 5 THEOS Unsupervised Classification:K-Mean (7 Classes)
16/20 Landsat THEOS Support Vector Machines : SVMs Forest Built - up Bare land Grassland Road Water
17/20 Class Confusion Matrix
18/20 Conclusion • THEOS gave a higher classification accuracy than Landsat 5 for identifying land use in this study. • More Spectral bands from Landsat 5 with 30m is not appropriated for selecting clearly ROIs than THEOS with 15m resolution. • The better resolution image greatly reduce the mixed-pixel problem, and there is the potential to extract much more detailed information on land-use/land cover structures.
