Kanta Tamta, H.s.bhadauria . Object-Oriented Approach of Landsat Imagery for Flood Mapping. International Journal of Computer Applications. 122, 16 ( July 2015), 6-9. DOI=10.5120/21782-5059
This study introduced an object-oriented approach to flood mapping and affected field estimation in central Cambodia. Traditional pixel-based image algorithms for flood mapping and land use and land cover classification endure from low accuracy, sub-pixel problems, and the cover noise effect in the resulting images On the other hand, the object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach has been thoroughly developed in the last two decades to overcome the limitations and disadvantages of the traditional pixel-based approaches by generating and analyzing meaningful image objects instead of individual pixels and reducing the speckle noise effect. The OBIA approach was applied for the image classification with a new improved estimation algorithm with multi scale parameter in the segmentation process to obtain more accurate results in the flood mapping. Flooding can be recognized using a variety of approaches such as statistics, ground-based measuring, prediction model, remote sensing techniques.
