Data dependent (machine learning classifiers)

Data dependent classifiers are based on non-parametric rules. Particularly, the machine learning classifiers use different approaches according to classifier type. In this chapter, largely used non-parametric classifiers were assessed such …

Model based classifiers (traditional)

Model based classifiers are run using basic statistical theories like mean, variance and standard deviation of the dataset. The most used ones at the literatures are supervised MLC, MD, LDA …

Classification techniques

There are two basic approaches to the classification process: supervised and unsupervised classification. With supervised classification, one provides a statistical description of the manner in which expected land cover classes …

LUC mapping techniques

Suitable remotely sensed data, classification systems, available classifier and number of training samples are prerequisites for a successful classification. Cingolani et al. (2004) identified three major problems when medium spatial …

Remotely sensed data sources

Data characteristics are the most important issue to select appropriate available one for a LUC mapping. Both airborne and spaceborne data have various spatial, radiometric, spectral and temporal resolutions. Large …
