Abstract :
An object oriented approach was developed to derive land use/land cover classification maps over the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. The approach was developed to be used for Landsat 8 data over Sumatra. The accuracy assessment of the classified image used for development is about 90% while the test data yielded 80 %. The method will be applied to the data from Landsat 8 over the Sumatra to generate a 30 m resolution land cover classification map.
