ChinaTHE METHODS OF EXTRACTING WATERINFORMATION FROM SPOT IMAGEDU Jin-kang, FE.NG Xue-zhi,WANC Zhou-long,HUANG Yong-sheng, RAMADAN EInazir( Department of Uirban and Resoure Science, Nanjing Unirersity. Nanjing 210093, P. R China)ABSTRACT: Some lechniques and methods for deriving water information from SPOT - 4(XI) image were investigaltedand discused in this paper. An algorithm of deision-lree (DT) casication which includes several casifers based onthe spetral responding characteristics of water bodies and other a山jects。was develuped and put forward to delineate WH-ter bodies. Another algorithm of decision-lree casfication based on both spectral etion of DEM and slope (DTDS) was also designed for water bodies extraction. In addition, supervised lasificationmethod of naximum-likelyhoud cassification (MLC), und unsuperised method of interactive sll-organizing dada analy-ais techniqpue (ISODATA ) were used lo extract walerbodies for cormnparison purpose. An indexs was designed and used toa5s15s the aceuracy of differenl methods adopted in the rcsearch. Results have shown that water extraction accuracy wasvuriable with respect to the various lechniques applicd. It was low using ISODATA, very high using DT algorithm andmueh higher using loth DTI)S and MLC.KEY WORDS: water lordy; decision tree algorithm; acuracy assesementCLC number: TP751.
