Comparison of Supervised Classification Techniques With Alos Palsar Sensor for Roorkee Region of Uttarakhand, India

Abstract

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) is developed by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) which was launched in the year 2006 for the Earth observation and exploration purpose. The ALOS was carrying PRISM, AVNIR-2 and PALSAR sensors for this purpose. PALSAR is L-Band synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The PALSAR sensor is designed in a way that it can work in all weather conditions with a resolution of 10 meters. In this research work we have made an investigation on the accuracy obtained from the various supervised classification techniques. We have compared the accuracy obtained by classifying the ALOS PALSAR data of the Roorkee region of Uttarakhand, India. The training ROI’S (Region of Interest) are created manually with the assistance of ArcGIS Earth and for the testing purpose, we have used the Global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the region. Supervised classification techniques included in this comparison are Parallelepiped classification (PC), Minimum distance classification (MDC), Mahalanobis distance classification (MaDC), Maximum likelihood classification (MLC), Spectral angle mapper (SAM), Spectral information divergence (SID) and Support vector machine (SVM). Later, through the post classification confusion matrix accuracy assessment test is performed and the corresponding value of the kappa coefficient is obtained. In the result, we have concluded MDC as best in term of overall accuracy with 82.3634% and MLC with a kappa value of 0.7591. Finally, a peculiar relationship is developed in between classification accuracy and kappa coefficient.</p>

Predicting soil erosion potential under CMIP6 climate change scenarios in the Chini Lake Basin, Malaysia

“…In this study, the supervised classification was performed to classify the land cover/use. The supervised classification based on (Shakya et al 2018 ) is where the user develops the spectral signatures of known classes (i.e., urban and forest) and then the ArcGIS software will set values in each pixel in the image to the class that its signature is most proportionate. The supervised classification was applied after the user creates the area of interest (AOI) or training classes.…”

Considerations and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis for the Installation of Collocated Permanent GNSS and SAR Infrastructures for Continuous Space-Based Monitoring of Natural Hazards

“…However, to assign the necessary values to the suitability analysis, the raster image must be defined in a land cover classification system to all pixels; ergo, as illustrated in Figure 9, five classes were generated using the supervised classification method. The latter approach relies on manually determined training samples, where the classifier assigns the image pixels to a given class by comparing the classified image with the samples [33]. The resulting classified dataset (see Table 3) is a set of values categorized into classes and used as variables of land cover criterion in the suitability analysis.…”

Spatial–spectral hyperspectral images classification based on Krill Herd band selection and edge-preserving transform domain recursive filter

“…12 The supervised methods consider labeled information per class during the training phase. 13,14 By contrast, the unsupervised methods do not consider any information about the class label and rely on statistical standards study, such as mutual information, correlation analysis, and various clustering techniques. 15 Furthermore, the classification performance of band selection using supervised methods is usually better than band selection using unsupervised methods.…”

“…Moreover, band selection methods are classified into two main types based on the availability of labeled data: supervised 11 and unsupervised 12 . The supervised methods consider labeled information per class during the training phase 13 , 14 . By contrast, the unsupervised methods do not consider any information about the class label and rely on statistical standards study, such as mutual information, correlation analysis, and various clustering techniques 15 .…”
