Popis: | The generation of land cover maps with both fine spatial and temporal resolution would aid the monitoring of change on the Earth’s surface. Spatio-temporal sub-pixel land cover mapping (STSPM) uses a few fine spatial resolution (FR) maps and a time series of coarse spatial resolution (CR) remote sensing images as input to generate FR land cover maps with a temporal frequency of the CR data set. Traditional STSPM selects spatially adjacent FR pixels within a local window as neighborhoods to model the land cover spatial dependence, which can be a source of error and uncertainty in the maps generated by the analysis. This paper proposes a new STSPM using FR remote sensing images that pre- and/or post-date the CR image as ancillary data to enhance the quality of the FR map outputs. Spectrally similar pixels within the locality of a target FR pixel in the ancillary data are likely to represent the same land cover class and hence such same-class pixels can provide spatial information to aid the analysis. Experimental results showed that the proposed STSPM predicted land cover maps more accurately than two comparative state-of-the-art STSPM algorithms. |
