Land-cover classification in the Brazilian Amazon with the integration of Landsat ETM + and Radarsat data.
Land-cover classification with remotely sensed data in moist tropical regions in a challenge due to the complex biophysical conditions. This paper explores techniques to improve land-cover classification accuracy through a comparative analysis of different combinations of spectral signatures and textures from Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM +) and Radarsat data. A wavelet-merging technique was used to integrate Landsat ETM + multispectral and panchromatic data or Radarsat data. Grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) textures based on Landsat ETM + panchromatic of Radarsat data and different sizes of moving windows were examined. A maximum-likelihood classifier was used to implement image classification for different combinations. This research indicates the important role of textures in improving land-cover classification accuracies in Amazonian environments. ...
