This research study aims to classify crop diversity in agricultural land with a segment-based approach using multi-temporal Kompsat-2 and Environmental Satellite (Envisat) advanced synthetic aperture radar (ASAR) data acquired in June, July and August on Karacabey Plain, Turkey. Analyses start with the image segmentation process applied to the fused optical images to search homogenous objects. The segmentation outputs are evaluated using multiple goodness measures, which take into consideration area and location similarities. Image classifications are performed on each multispectral (MS) single date image. In order to combine the most probable classes of the thematic maps, distance maps are generated. Evaluations of the thematic maps are performed through confusion matrices based on pixel-based and segment-based approaches. The results indicate that the highest overall accuracy of 88.71% and a kappa result of 0.86 are provided for the segment-based approach of the combined thematic map along with the microwave data, which is around 10% higher than the related pixel-based results.

A multi-temporal masking classification method for field-based agricultural crop mapping Arıkan, Mahmut; Türker, Mustafa; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2003) This study describes the field-based classification of agricultural crops using multi-date Landsat 7 ETM+ images acquired in May, July, and August 2000. The study area is located in north-west of Turkey with a size of about 1 5 km x 1 1.3 km and grows a variety of crops. The objective was to identify the summer (August) crops within the agricultural fields. The classification methodology is based on a multi- temporal masking of Landsat 7 ETM+ images. First, a supervised per-pixel classification of the three...
Developing an integrated system for semi-automated segmentation of remotely sensed imagery Kök, Emre Hamit; Türker, Mustafa; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2005) Classification of the agricultural fields using remote sensing images is one of the most popular methods used for crop mapping. Most recent classification techniques are based on per-field approach that works as assigning a crop label for each field. Commonly, the spatial vector data is used for the boundaries of the fields for applying the classification within them. However, crop variation within the fields is a very common problem. In this case, the existing field boundaries may be insufficient for perfo...
A new approach to evaluate the MODIS annual NPP product (MOD17A3) using forest field data from Turkey Gulbeyaz, Onder; Bond-Lamberty, Ben; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; West, Tristram O. (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) In this study, we present the first evaluation of the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) annual net primary production (NPP) for Turkey's forest ecosystems using field measurements. Due to lack of country scale field measurements (i.e. flux tower for forest ecosystems), tree DBH (diameter at breast height) data set provided by Ministry of Forest and Water Affairs (MFWA) of Turkey is used to calculate NPP of Turkey's forest ecosystems. The lack of a reliable NPP data set leads the research...
Development of a methodology for geospatial image streaming Kıvcı, Erdem Türker; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010) Serving geospatial data collected from remote sensing methods (satellite images, areal photos, etc.) have become crutial in many geographic information system (GIS) applications such as disaster management, municipality applications, climatology, environmental observations, military applications, etc. Even in today’s highly developed information systems, geospatial image data requies huge amount of physical storage spaces and such characteristics of geospatial image data make its usage limited in above ment...
A new approach to diversity indices - modeling and mapping plant biodiversity of Nallihan (A3-Ankara/Turkey) forest ecosystem in frame of geographic information systems Dogan, HM; Doğan, Musa (2006-03-01) Modeling and mapping possibilities of Shannon-Wiener, Simpson, and number of species (NS) indices were researched using geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) tools in Nallihan forest ecosystem of Turkey. The relationships between the indices and a number of independent variables such as topography, geology, soil, climate, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and land cover were investigated to understand relationships between plant diversity and ecosystem. Georeferenced fiel...
