Urban landcover features identification utilizing multiband combinations and multi-level image segmentation for objectbased classification / Nurhanisah Hashim

Urban area refers to cities which have highly heterogeneous objects with complex landscape. Variation land-cover features, which include natural and man-made objects, lead to the advent of features that are spectrally very similar. For example, trees and grass as well as building roofs and roads oft...
