Method for classifying vegetation types in arid areas combining spectral and textural features of ZY-1 02D

Abstract: With the continuous development of hyperspectral remote sensing technology, it has been widely used in vegetation mapping. However, sparse vegetation canopy, soil background, and spectral similarity between different types of vegetation are still the main challenges for vegetation types mapping in arid areas. As a result, it is difficult to achieve reliable classification accuracy by using spectral or texture features separately. Generalized Normal Distribution Optimization (GNDO) is a new feature optimization algorithm, with advantages in quality and stability of feature extraction results, comparing to traditional optimization algorithms. But it has not yet been applied to select bands of hyperspectral data. In order to validate the feasibility of combining ZY-1 02D spectral and texture features to classify vegetation types in arid areas, to verify the effectiveness of the GNDO method for bands selection of hyperspectral data, and to explore the effects of feature selection methods and training sample numbers on the classification accuracy of vegetation mapping, different Wrapper Optimization methods, such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), and GNDO, were applied to select spectral features for vegetation mapping, taking the area around Zongjia Town, Dulan County, Qinghai Province, China as the research area, then the band selection results of these methods were analyzed. Train sample set containing 30, 50, 100, 150, and 200 pixels per class were used to select bands and to train the classifier. Different methods (ALL (without bands selection), GA, PSO, GWO, GNDO) and different sizes of the trained sample sets (30, 50, 100, 150, and 200 pixels per class) were used to obtain 25 spectral feature-based classification data sets. Simultaneously, 8 texture features (mean, variance, homogeneity, contrast, dissimilarity, entropy, second moment) were extracted using the Gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method, and selected on basis of distinguishability for vegetation types. Texture features (TEX) were combined with spectral feature-based classification data sets. The random forest classification method was applied to classify vegetation types for the classification data sets, and the classification accuracy of classification data sets was evaluated and compared. The results show that 1) the blue region (400-450 nm), the red edge region (700-750 nm), and the red region (600-650 nm) are the most sensitive to distinguish the vegetation types in the study area; 2) the GNDO200 achieved the highest overall classification accuracy (80.44%) among the spectral feature-based classification data sets, which was better than the classification accuracy (78.86%) using all bands (ALL200); 3) with the increase of training samples, the overall classification accuracy of each classification data set showed an increasing trend, the classification accuracy of different feature selection methods showed different reliance on the number of training samples; 4) image texture features significantly improved the classification accuracy, and the GWO200+TEX dataset had the highest overall classification accuracy (82.86%). This study could verify the potential of the ZY1-02D, the new hyperspectral satellite data, for the classification of vegetation types in arid areas, and provide an idea for the selection of spectral and texture features in hyperspectral vegetation mapping.
