EVALUATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF ALOS PALSAR POLARIMETRIC DATA FOR LAND-COVER CLASSIFICATION IN THE NORTHERN PART OF TIMAN-PECHORIAN PETROLEUM PROVINCE

摘要

Evaluation of ALOS PALSAR polarimetric data for land-cover classification was made for test area located in the northern part of Timan-Pechorian petroleum province (North-West of Russia). Different methods of classification have been made and compared. Results of land-cover classification have allowed to reveal different types of landscape and to estimate deep of bogs. Application of PALSAR PLR data provides a major contribution into land-cover classification.
