{"product_id":"9783836481663","title":"Object-Oriented Image Analysis","description":"Creating land-cover and land-use maps for urban areas has always been challenging due to the complexity of an urban landscape. The greater availability of remotely sensed high-resolution imagery and recent advances in object-oriented analysis allow for more detail than ever before in urban image classification. This book explores object-oriented land-cover and land-use classifications with one-meter resolution Ikonos imagery. First, three different ways of classifying land cover, with varying inclusion of ancillary building and road data, are examined. Second, the spatial relations of the land-cover information are examined to derive land use. Accuracy assessments, as well as statistical and visual evaluations, for the classifications show that the object-oriented approach works well for classifying an urban area. The results confirm the observed trend in the literature to move away from traditional pixel-based techniques for urban image classification in exchange for object-oriented methods. This book will be useful to those who want to develop new ways of efficiently classifying complex urban areas, using object-oriented image classification techniques.","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller Akt.ges.\u0026Co.KG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062197534960,"sku":"9783836481663","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783836481663_p0.jpg?v=1763688317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783836481663","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
