Application of a New Symmetry-Based Cluster Validity Index for Satellite Image Segmentation

An important approach for image segmentation is clustering pixels based on their spectral properties. In particular, satellite images contain land cover types, some of which cover significantly large areas, while some (e.g., bridges and roads) occupy relatively much smaller regions. Automatically detecting regions or clusters of such widely varying sizes presents a challenging task. In this letter, a symmetry-based cluster validity index, named Sym-index (Symmetry distance-based index), is proposed. It is able to correctly indicate the presence of clusters of different sizes as long as they are internally symmetrical. A genetic-algorithm-based clustering technique that optimizes the Sym-index is used for image segmentation where the number of clusters is determined automatically. The superiority of the proposed index, as compared to other indices, is established for automatically segmenting the land cover types from SPOT and Indian Remote Sensing satellite images of two different cities in India.     

A rule-based parameter aided with object-based classification approach for extraction of building and roads from WorldView-2 images

Roads and buildings constitute a significant proportion of urban areas. Considerable amount of research has been done on the road and building extraction from remotely sensed imagery. However, a few of them have been concentrating on using only spectral information. This study presents a comparison between three object-based models for urban features’ classification, specifically roads and buildings, from WorldView-2 satellite imagery. The three applied algorithms are support vector machines (SVMs), nearest neighbour (NN) and proposed rule-based system. The results indicated that the proposed rules in this study, despite the spectral complexity of land cover types, performed a satisfactory output with an overall accuracy of 92.92%. The advantages offered by the proposed rules were not provided by other two applied algorithms and it revealed the highest accuracy compared to SVM and NN. The overall accuracy for SVM was 76.76%, which is almost similar to the result achieved by NN (77.3%).     

Using Thermal Remote Sensing in Environmental Studies

Thermovision is a relatively new method of remote sensing with applications in areas such as military operations, residential monitoring, technological process control and emergency management. Surprisingly, it has not seen much application in environmental studies. The article presents a method of using thermovision for topoclimatic studies. The method is based on the spatial distribution of land surface temperature (LST). The LST distribution indicates the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth surface and depends primarily on terrain shape and land cover types. By analyzing the LST distribution, one can determine spatial topoclimatic variability. The LST derived topoclimatic classification was compared with the theoretical topoclimatic classification based on heat balance. New classes of topoclimates were created and some of the existing types were diversified into more detailed subtypes. The analysis of selected lowland areas in north‐western Poland revealed that both land cover and terrain shape characteristics had a significant impact on the LST distribution, contrary to the expectation of land cover characteristics being more important than terrain shape. The article demonstrates the possibilities of using thermovision in environmental research and presents a new method of topoclimate delimitation based on thermal remote sensing data and geographical information systems (GIS) techniques comparing. The LST classification method with conventional methods based on DEM and land cover analysis.     

Knowledge‐based digital mapping of vegetation types in Big Bend National park,Texas

A knowledge‐based strategy is utilized to develop a model for performing automated mapping of twenty vegetation cover types occurring within Big Bend National P ark, Texas. Many of the cover types found within this desert region cannot be reliably identified solely on a spectral basis, even on large‐scale, aircraft‐borne color imagery. Positive identification may be improved, however, by incorporating additional spatial information that may distinguish given cover types on a non‐spectral basis. In this study, digital soils and digital terrain data are utilized with spectral imagery from Landsat Thematic Mapper.

This knowledge‐based strategy is comprised of three primary elements: knowledge acquisition, rules development, and model structuring. Knowledge acquisition identifies the vegetation composition and non‐vegetative site characteristics associated with the occurrence of each cover type. Rules development compares and contrasts these characteristics among pairs of cover types and their subsets Model structuring places the presumed digital analogs of these characteristics within a multi‐layered classification.

After implementing the automated mapping model, its quality was evaluated with an accuracy assessment. Based upon the cover types field‐truthed at 142 sites within the park, the model performed at an 72% level of accuracy. For comparative purposes, a traditional supervised (spectral, statistical) classification yielded a 42% accuracy. The superiority of the model is attributed to its incorporation of knowledge‐based information; in essence, identification by considering only those cover types likely to occur over given spectral and physiographic conditions.

Time series analysis of vegetation-cover response to environmental factors and residential development in a dryland region

Land-use changes as a result of residential development often lead to degradation and alter vegetation cover (VC). Although these are worldwide phenomena, sufficient knowledge about anthropogenic effects caused by various populated areas in dryland ecosystems is lacking. This study explored anthropogenic development in rural areas and its effects on the conservation of protected areas in drylands, focusing on the change in VC, the reasons, extent, and the drivers of change. We propose a novel framework for exploring VC change (VCC) as a function of environmental and human-driven factors including different types of populated areas in drylands. As a case study, we used a 30-year time series of Landsat satellite images over the arid region of Israel to analyze spatiotemporal VCC. The temporal analysis involved the Contextual Mann-Kendall significance test and spatial analysis to model clustering of VCC. A Gradient Boosted Regression machine learning algorithm was applied to study the relative influence of environmental and human-driven factors on VCC. In addition, we used ANOVA to examine differences between the effects of three types of populated areas on the spatiotemporal trends of VC. The results show that the most influential environmental variable on VCC was elevation (relative contribution of 17%), followed by slope (14.8%) and distance from populated areas (14.6%). Moreover, different types of populated areas affected VC differently with varying distances from residential centroids. The nature reserves increased VC positively and significantly, while livestock settlements had a negative effect. Change in vegetation was mostly confined to the stream network and occurred in lower elevations. The study demonstrates how different land-use practices alter the landscape in terms of VC and differ in their extents, patterns, and effects. With the expected growth in population and residential development worldwide, the proposed framework may assist conservation managements and policy makers in minimizing environmental degradation in drylands.     

Mapping and monitoring of urban landuse of Hisar Town,Haryana using remote sensing techniques

Aerial photographs for the year 1965 and 1975 and Landsat TM (FCC) 1986 data on 1:50,000 scale were used to map and monitor the pattern of growth and development of Hisar Town during the last 20 years. The different landuse categories identified are residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, vacant lands etc. The original shape of the town was nucleated one, but presently it is star-shaped, which is due to extension of the urban centre along the radiating roads. It has mainly elongated itself along the Delhi and Rajgarh roads. The presence of Government Livestock Farm (GLF), Equine Breeding Farm and HAU Farm towards North-west of the town has completely checked its growth on these sides. The total residential-cum-commercial area has nearly doubled during 1965–1975 and trebled by 1986. The change in net area under different types of urban land-use categories, described above has also been calculated. Degraded scrub lands and sandy wasteland on the fringes of the town have been identified where further development can be planned to avoid encroachment on good agricultural lands. Recommendations have been given for future urban planning of the town.
