A Hybrid approach of Land-use/land-cover (LU/LC) classification has been carried out in the study using Resource Sat-2 LISS-III Satellite data having a resolution of 23.5 m. With the help of ERDAS Imagine image processing software, unsupervised classification process of the satellite image has been made to obtain the required land use/land cover classes. During the classification study, a common mixed class assigned as Common Observed Classes (COC) used for the separation of the required classes to obtain undefined mixed land use/land cover classes with the help of ArcGIS model plate tool. Furthermore, more accuracy gained in
the classification of separated mixed land cover classes by revising unsupervised classification processes. ... view more»
