Automatic land-cover-classification derived from high-resolution Ikonos satellite image in the urban atlantic forest in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil by means of an objects-oriented approach

The city of Rio de Janeiro carried out a Land-cover forest classification with visual interpretation using SPOT data. This work produced a compatible thematic map in the scale 1:50,000. The scale of these maps permit to have a global vision of the land change cover but unfortunately do not correspond with the geographic information system of the city, which works with a scale of 1:10,000. The city searched for options to make this work automatically and quickly to get information for planning and to propose solutions. <br>In order to solve this problem high resolution satellite data and automatic classification of Land-cover classes are needed. Consequently, images as IKONOS need to be used to produce a classification, with a scale corresponding to the GIS of the city. <br>Pixel based classification with high resolution data show some problems because the level of information in the data produce a lot of incorrect classified pixels. The solution to perform this classification uses the new approach that makes one “pre-classification”, which transforms the pixel information in objects as well as the feature in the vector representation. To carry out the segmentation and classification processes, oriented objects analysis are used.
