Abstract

In this study, a new hierarchical object-based Random Forest (RF) classification approach is proposed for discriminating between different wetland classes in a study area located in the north eastern portion of the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador province, Canada. Specifically, multi-polarization and multi-frequency SAR data, including single polarized TerraSAR-X (HH), dual polarized L-band ALOS-2 (HH/HV), and fully polarized C-band RADARSAT-2 images, were applied in three different classification levels. The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were determined in each classification level for evaluating the classification results. Importantly, an overall accuracy of 94.82% was obtained for the final classified map in this study.
