Description
Summary:Land use mapping in development plan basically provides resources of information and important tool in decision making. In relation to this, fine resolution of recent satellite remotely sensed data have found wide applications in land use/land cover mapping. This study reports on work carried out for classification of fused image for land use mapping in detail scale for Local Plan. The LANDSATTM, SPOT Pan and IKONOS satellite were fused and examined using three data fusion techniques, namely Principal Component Transform (PCT), Wavelet Transform and Multiplicative fusing approach. The best fusion technique for three datasets was determined based on the assessment of class separabilities and visualizations evaluation of the selected subset of the fused datasets, respectively.
