Radar imagery have few polarization bands which can limit the ability to do traditional digital classification. Harmonization of Sentinel-1 and Landsat 8 data despite having complementary texture information can be a challenge. The objectives of this paper are to explore texture features derived from Landsat 8 OLI and dual-polarized Sentinel-1 SAR speckle filtered and unfiltered backscatter, to aggregate classification results using Decision-Level Fusion (DLF), and to evaluate the performance of decision-level fused maps. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is employed to derive sets of seven texture features for Landsat 8 bands and VV + VH backscatter using 5 × 5, 7 × 7, 9 × 9, and 11 × 11 window sizes. Each texture feature is stacked with a respective source image and classified using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Classified maps from the best three performers from both speckle filtered and unfiltered are aggregated with classified maps from Landsat 8 using plurality voting algorithm and compared using Z-test. Results indicate an overall classification accuracy of 96.02% from DLF images of Landsat and non-speckle filtered maps, whereas Landsat and speckle filtered achieved 94.69%. The best texture information are derived from the blue band followed by the red band, whereas speckle unfiltered textures performed better than speckle filtered textures. We conclude that integration of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-1, either speckle filtered or unfiltered, improves crop classification and speckles do not have statistically significant effects (p = 0.1208). |
