The greater availability of remotely sensed high-resolution imagery and recent advances in object-oriented analysis allow for more detail than ever before in urban image classification. This book explores object-oriented land-cover and land-use classifications with one-meter resolution Ikonos imagery. First, three different ways of classifying land cover, with varying inclusion of ancillary building and road data, are examined. Second, the spatial relations of the land-cover information are examined to derive land use. Accuracy assessments, as well as statistical and visual evaluations, for the classifications show that the object-oriented approach works well for classifying an urban area. The results confirm the observed trend in the literature to move away from traditional pixel-based techniques for urban image classification in exchange for object-oriented methods. This book will be useful to those who want to develop new ways of efficiently classifying complex urban areas, using object-oriented image classification techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Lackner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836481669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836481663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Mike Lackner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446425268479,"sku":"9783836481663","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94e1e7ad-24b9-4693-8700-53bec7173ded.jpg?v=1777224543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/object-oriented-image-analysis-mike-lackner-9783836481663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
