Exploring the Potential of Object Based Image Analysis for Mapping Urban Land Cover
The paper investigates the performance and potential of object based image analysis technique (OBIA) for land cover information extraction from high resolution satellite datasets. Efficiency of the technique has been assessed in different urban land cover situations using merged CARTOSAT-1 and IRS-P6 LISS-IV image subsets of Dehradun, India. Multi-scale iterative Nearest Neighbour classification has been applied. Classification results have been quantitatively evaluated.
