The fifth area is farming and agriculture land
2- The second method is depending upon Near-infrared at red reflectance (IR/R) and the algorithm for this method was:
The last mathematical model was founded and used to extract the green space, and the next images show the green areas that extracted by two methods (A) and (B) from second area that located at the center of Nanjing city.
In the (B) method we have seen green information of test area then parts of non-green space appeared and it need to be eliminate, but when we making model to comber the two methods as difference between (B) and (A) {(B)-(A)}, we have founded that many pixels are belong to green space and few of them belong to non-green space and the following images show the difference.
The next images have shown non-green space:
The result:
After the two extraction methods used, we obtain two kinds of maps describing the green space at five areas in Nanjing one of them is an agriculture land, the following tables and charts give the idea about the percentage of the green space for each area, finally it tells about the green space area from the total test area.
