Nandam, Vineela | Patel, P. L.
In present study, Landsat images of years 2001, 2009 and 2018 are used for LUC mapping of a coastal-urban-floodplain wherein built-up and coastal-barren classes have been identified to be the most confusing classes for interpretation. Otsu’s thresholding techniques have been used for mapping of waterbodies, built-up, and coastal-barren lands. The performance of most commonly used built-up indices have been assessed, among which BCI performed best for the study area. A new index, called Coastal-Barren-Index (CBI), has been developed using the spectral characteristics of SWIR1 and green spectral reflectance bands. A critical comparison of SVM and RFC classifiers are reported, and, finally, a hybrid approach is proposed as a combination MNDWI-CBI-SVM for mapping of the study area with Overall Accuracy 90.5% and Kappa value 0.87. The proposed approach is validated for an independent site, and, can be considered as generic in nature for LUC mapping of coastal urban plains.
