An accuracy analysis comparison of supervised classification methods for mapping land cover using Sentinel 2 images in the Al‑Hawizeh marsh area, southern Iraq
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2021) Alwan, Imzahim Abdulkareem; Aziz, Nadia A.
Land cover mapping of marshland areas from satellite images data is not a simple process, due to the similarity of the spectral characteristics of the land cover. This leads to challenges being encountered with some land covers classes, especially in wetlands classes. In this study, satellite images from the Sentinel 2B by ESA (European Space Agency) were used to classify the land cover of Al‑Hawizeh marsh/Iraq‑Iran border. Three classification methods were used aimed at comparing their accuracy, using multispectral satellite images with a spatial resolution of 10 m. The classification process was performed using three different algorithms, namely: Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The classification algorithms were carried out using ENVI 5.1 software to detect six land cover classes: deep water marsh, shallow water marsh, marsh vegetation (aquatic vegetation), urban area (built‑up area), agriculture area, and barren soil. The results showed that the MLC method applied to Sentinel 2B images provides a higher overall accuracy and the kappa coefficient compared to the ANN and SVM methods. Overall accuracy values for MLC, ANN, and SVM methods were 85.32%, 70.64%, and 77.01% respectively.

Application of Landsat imagery based vegetation indices to imperviousness index mapping
(2009) Drzewiecki, Wojciech; Osak, Agnieszka
W publikacji przedstawiono zastosowanie teledetekcyjnej metody opartej na wskaźnikach wegetacji do sporządzania map współczynnika nieprzepuszczalności. Mapy te przedstawiają w odniesieniu do każdego piksela obrazu satelitarnego procentowy udział powierzchni o charakterze nieprzepuszczalnym, takich jak np. dachy budynków, drogi asfaltowe, parkingi itp. Wykorzystanie obrazów satelitarnych Landsat TM pozwala na uzyskanie porównywalnych map dla okresu od połowy lat 80. XX. wieku do chwili obecnej. Opracowanie wykonano dla obszaru Krakowa w roku 1996. Uzyskana dokładność oszacowania współczynnika nieprzepuszczalności wyniosła 20 procent.

Sub-pixel classification of middle-resolution satellite images - evaluation of regression trees applicability to monitor impervious surfaces coverage
(2010) Drzewiecki, Wojciech
The aim of the presented research was to test the method of assessing the imperviousness index on the basis of middle-resolution satellite images with the use of regression trees. The task also included evaluation of the applicability of the method to monitor the changes of impervious surfaces coverage. The research has been done in the catchments of Prądnik and Dłubnia rivers (Malopolska region, Poland). The imperviousness index has been assessed for two time periods - current state (2007) and the mid-1990s. The training and verification data for both time periods have been obtained from aerial orthophotomaps for urban, suburban, rural, industrial and commercial areas. In both time states the best assessment of imperviousness index have been achieved for the variants where the regression trees were built on the basis of all satellite data accessible for the time period. However, it is worth notifying that the variant with the input data limited to three images from spring, summer and autumn provided comparable accuracy of the results. These models have the systematic error between 1.3-2.2%, the mean error between 15.8-16.4% and correlation coefficient between 0.85-0.86 for the mid-1990s. For the year 2009 these values are respectively: 1.4-1.7%, 15.7-16.0% and 0.86. The accuracy of the imperviousness index obtained in the present research is comparable with the accuracy obtained with the use of regression trees in research reported in the literature. The comparison has shown high accuracy of imperviousness index change assessment for the whole population of pixels in verification dataset. The systematic error is 0.1%. However, the obtained assessment accuracy for a single pixel (±14.5%) can be too low for some applications.
