  1. Vegetation classification on PrathongIsland, PhangNga, Thailand NaiyanaSrichai & ChanidaSuwanprasit Faculty of Technology and Environment, Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus APAN 33rd Meeting 13-17 February 2012

  2. Introduction • vegetation type study date back to the Nineteenth Century : ecologists, plant geographers, vegetation scientists • three major determinants of vegetation-competition, stress and disturbance (Grime, 1974)

  3. Objectives • To classify vegetation on Prathong Island, PhangNga province, southern Thailand

  4. Study area: Prathong Island, PhangNga THAILAND 7th biggest island 1.5 km off the coast Size : width 9.7 km length 15.4 km Area : 92 sq.km Unseen Thailand 2002 deer, hornbill, adjutant stork, green turtle, dugong

  9. Grassland Swamp forest Mangrove forest Beach forest

  10. Tsunami 26 Dec. 2004Area affected : 18.55 % (6.25% agricultural,92.88% others)

  11. Vegetation change after Tsunami Fragile land Salt tolerant tree invasion Casuarinaequisetifolia

  12. Data set: THEOS Multispectral Achieved on 19 Jan 2009 Spatial Resolution 15 m

  13. THEOS Spectral bands Band 0 (Blue) Band 1 (Green) Band 2 (Red) Band 3 (NIR)

  14. Process Outline THEOS image 2009 Pre-image processing • Classes • Grassland • Beach forest • Mangrove forest • Wetland (swamp forest) • Water • Other Image Classification Maximum Likelihood (MLC) Support Vector Machines (SVMs) Vegetation Mapping

  15. Support Vector Machines • SVMs : a supervised classifier, which requires training samples but SVMs are not relatively sensitive to training sample size (works with limited quantity and quality). • The SVM-based approach used a recursive procedure to generate prior probability estimates for known and unknown classes by adapting the Bayesian minimum-error decision rule (Mountrakis,et.at. 2011; Fauvel 2008).

  16. Support vector machines (SVMs) : numerousapplications in remote sensing . 108 relevant papers, published in 2007-2010. (G.Mountrakis, JunghoIm, C.Ogole, 2011)

  17. Unsupervised Classification: • K-Mean • 10 Classes

  18. ROI Separability

  19. Classification Results MLC SVMs Grassland Swamp Forest Beach Forest Mangrove Forest Sand Water Other

  20. RGB(0,1,2) SVMs MLC

  21. Class Confusion Matrix

  22. Conclusions • SVM classifier compared to the more conventional maximum likelihood approach gave slightly better accuracy using THEOS image for class : swamp forest of Prathong Island.
