Abstract

Pixel-based classification is considered as a classic method of extracting land-cover related information from remotely sensed imagery, and has been used in various applications, including vegetation mapping. However, several recent studies also mentioned the weakness of the pixel-based approach, including the vegetation index transformation, in mapping the structural composition of vegetation. This study aimed to test several pixel-based classification algorithms for mapping the structural composition of vegetation using Sentinel-2A (10 meters) imagery in Salatiga and its surrounding, Central Java. In this study three classification algorithms, namely Maximum Likelihood, Minimum Distance to Mean, and Support Vector Machine were compared with respect to their accuracy results in mapping the vegetation structural composition. The authors evaluated the effects of additional data in the classification process by comparing two different datasets, i.e. (i) the one using original bands only, and (ii) the one containing original bands and additional data in the form of several vegetation indices and Leaf Area Index (LAI). We collected field samples using stratified random strategy, which were separated into two sub-datasets, as a basis for structural composition classification reference and accuracy assessment. In addition, comparison was also carried out using the original results and the one which was majority filtered. The results showed that the Maximum Likelihood algorithm performed the highest accuracies at a range of 74-86 using a combination of original bands and RVI (Ratio Vegetation Index). The result that was processed using a 5x5 majority filter showed the highest accuracy 86.29. These results demonstrated that the pixel-based classification of Sentinel 2A imagery using the Maximum Likelihood algorithm could be used to map the structural composition of vegetation in the study area. © 2021 SPIE.
