A comparison of agricultural crop maps from independent field-based classifications of the Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT) 4 multispectral (XS), SPOT5 XS, IKONOS XS, QuickBird XS and QuickBird pan-sharpened (PS) images is presented. An agricultural area within the north-west section of Turkey was analysed for field-based crop identification. The SPOT4 XS, SPOT5 XS, IKONOS XS and QuickBird images were collected in similar climatic conditions during July and August 2004. The classification of each image was carried out separately on a per-field basis on all bands and the coincident bands that are green, red and near-infrared (NIR). To examine the effect of filtering on field-based classification, the images were each filtered using the 3 x 3, 5 x 5, 7 x 7 and 9 x 9 mean filter and the filtered bands were also classified on per-field basis. For the unfiltered images, IKONOS XS provided the highest overall accuracies of 88.9% and 88.1% for the all-bands and the coincident bands classifications, respectively. On average, IKONOS XS performed slightly better than QuickBird XS and QuickBird PS, while it outperformed SPOT4 XS and SPOT5 XS. The use of filtered images in field-based classification reduced the accuracies for SPOT4 XS, SPOT5 XS, IKONOS XS and QuickBird XS. The results of this study indicate that smoothing images prior to classification does not improve the accuracies for the field-based classification. On the contrary, the accuracies for the filtered QuickBird PS images indicated a slight improvement. On the whole, both IKONOS and QuickBird images produced quite promising results for field-based crop mapping, yielding overall accuracies above 83%.

MULTI-TEMPORAL SPECTRAL UNMIXING FOR SCALE-AWARE LAND USE/LAND COVER CLASSIFICATION USING SENTINEL-2 NABDEL, Leili; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2022-9-02) CORINE Land Cover mapping scheme provides an ontology to create consistent classification maps that are regularly updated. Since CORINE is a mixed Land Use / Land Cover (LULC) standard, classification based solely on spectral and temporal properties of the pixel in question is not adequate and contextual information should also be considered. An efficient classification method, which uses spectral unmixing of multi-spectral multi-temporal Sentinel-2 imagery, has been proposed in this work. Rather than the c...
Determination of Secchi disc depths in Lake Eymir using remotely sensed data Yüzügüllü, Onur; Aksoy, Ayşegül (null; 2010-06-05) In this study Secchi disk depths (SDD) are determined in an eutrophic Eymir Lake in Ankara using the multi-spectral image obtained from the Quickbird satellite. For this purpose, empirical models given in literature and artificial neural networks (ANN) are used. SDDs at 17 sampling points in Eymir Lake are measured via field studies. In the satellite image, pixel values at the sampling points are determined using ERDAS Imagine. Results indicate very low correlations between the SDD values calculated using t...
Sea Detection on High-Resolution Panchromatic Satellite Images Using Texture and Intensity Besbinar, Beril; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2014-01-01) In this paper, a two-stage sea-land mask detection algorithm on high resolution panchromatic images is proposed. An initial mask is generated using texture features in the first stage and this mask is refined by using intensity values in the second stage. Image is divided into windows and the Local Binary Patterns (LBP) histograms, evaluated at each window, are modelled using the sea and land sample spaces obtained by the altitude information which has very low resolution compared to the image. These models...
Scene Classification: A Comprehensive Study Combining Local and Global Descriptors Cura, Burak Fatih; Sürer, Elif (2019-01-01) In this paper, local region characteristics and overall structure of scene images are used for scene classification by combining different local and global descriptors. For this purpose, GIST, Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), dense Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), dense Speed-Up Robust Features (SURF), Daisy and Local Binary Patterns (LBP) features are classified individually and jointly with Support Vector Machine (SVM) by using different sizes of training sets. Evaluation tests were conduct...
Field-based classification of different resolution images and the filtering effects on the accuracies Ozdarici, A.; TÜRKER, MUSTAFA (2007-06-16) Field-based classifications of multispectral SPOT 4, SPOT 5, IKONOS, QuickBird and the pansharpaned (PS) QuickBird images were performed for an agricultural land located near the 'Karacabey Plain' of Turkey. The main objectives were to evaluate the classification accuracies and to find out the effects of filtering on the accuracies of different resolution images for agricultural crop mapping. To fulfill these objectives, first, a Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) was performed on each satellite image ...
