Abstract

The objectives of this research were to develop and evaluate on approach for object-oriented mopping of banana plantations from SPOT-5 imagery, and to compare these results to banana plantations manually delineated from high spatial resolution airborne imagery. Cultivated areas were first identified through large spatial scale mapping using spectral and elevation data. Within the cultivated areas, separation of banana plantations and other land-cover classes increased when including image co-occurrence texture measures and context relationships in addition to spectral information. The results showed that a pixel size of
