Abstract Details

2007, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Geography.
The purpose of this research was to develop an object oriented approach to land cover analysis and evaluate this approach along with five other classifiers for accuracy in classifying Level II land-cover categories in Ohio. These methods consist of (1) USGS National Land Cover Data; (2) the spectral angle mapper; (3) the maximum likelihood classifier; (4) the maximum likelihood classifier with texture analysis; and (5) a recently introduced hybrid artificial neural network; The segmentation object-oriented processing (SOOP) classifier outperformed all others with an overall accuracy of 93.8% and Kappa of 0.93. SOOP was the only classifier to have by-class producer and user accuracies of 90% or higher for all categories. An artificial neural network (ANN) classifier had the second highest overall accuracy of 87.6% and Kappa of 0.85. The four remaining classifiers had overall accuracies less than 85%. The SOOP classifier has been applied to Landsat-7 data to perform a level II land-cover classification for the state of Ohio.
