EASTERN ASIA LAND COVER CLASSIFICATION USING MODIS SURFACE REFLECTANCE PRODUCTS

摘要

The objective of this study is to develop land cover classification algorithm suited for the eastern Asia by using multi-temporal MODIS land reflectance products; Surface Reflectance 8-Day L3 product and Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance 16-Day L3 product. In this study, land cover maps derived from these two kinds of source data products are generated and compared. Time-domain co-occurrence matrix is introduced as a classification feature that represents time-series signature of land covers. As results, Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance product showed higher classification accuracy than Surface Reflectance 8-Day L3 product. Furthermore, those products produced good land cover maps than MODIS land cover product for the target classification area.
