Evaluation of conventional digital camera scenes for Thematic Information Extraction


Table 9: The accuracy of each class using Maximum Likelihood classification.
Class Maximum Likelihood
Producer Accuracy (%) User Accuracy (%)
Grass 88.060 90.769
Water 93.506 80.899
Land 50.000 81.481
Urban 50.000 31.579

Conclusion
In this study, Maximum Likelihood was the best classifier to extract thematic information from remote sensed imagery. The high spatial resolution images gave a more detail deposition mapping of the classified map. So it is good for a small coverage of study area. From the result of the accuracy assessment, we were quite confident of the classified shown. Digital camera imagery provides a cheaper way to acquired remote sensed imagery for land cover mapping.
