1- Introduction
Wind erosion as an “environmental threat” has caused serious problems in the world. Identifying
and evaluating areas affected by wind erosion can be an important tool for managers and planners in
the sustainable development of different areas. nowadays there are various methods in the world for
zoning lands affected by wind erosion. One of the most important methods is the use of satellite
images and various classification methods. Satellite imagery with features such as wide coverage,
repeatability and continuous updating is particularly important in determining land cove.
classification methods include pixel based, object oriented and map decision tree. Field studies on the
spatial development of wind erosion sites are difficult and expensive to replicate and monitoring
studies in these areas are not possible. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the classification
methods in the detection of the Sarakhs plain sandy zones in order to identify endangered sources of
these zones.
2- Methodology
In this study, the Landsat ETM + satellite data was used from USGS web site and all the
processed satellite images was done with ENVI software and Arcmap 10.3 GIS. After pre-processing
the images, including geometric, atmospheric and radiometric corrections, the land use map was
prepared using a supervised classification method in six classes. These classes include agricultural
lands, barren lands, sand dunes, wind deposition, lakes and rangelands. Classification was performed
based on all the algorithms of pixel based, object oriented and map decision tree methods. These
algorithms include maximum likelihood, minimum distance, neural network, and support vector
machine in the pixel based method and The object-oriented approach used the nearest-neighbor
algorithms on the scales of 1, 3, 5, 7 and the support of vector machine. The final classification was
done by a decision tree method map. Parameters used for validation of the results include total
accuracy, kappa coefficient, accuracy matrix of the producer and the produced, quantity and
allocation disagreement.
3- Results
The results of the classification show that the number of pixels in the training samples is 25049
pixels obtained by random sampling. The number of ground points used to estimate the overall
accuracy of the produced maps are 90 control points from Google Earth satellite imagery, 50 control
points from 1: 50000 topographic maps and 45 field control points. The evaluation of classification
methods showed that higher accuracy percentage for decision tree method is 87%, kappa index 82%,
Quantity disagreement 6.7% and allocation disagreement 5.6% Compare to other methods. These
coefficients in the pixel based method are respectively 83%, kappa coefficient 78%, quantity
disagreement 10.4% and allocation disagreement 6.1% and in object-oriented method, the overall
accuracy is 80%, Kappa index 75%, quantity disagreement 83% and allocation disagreement 7.6%.
The least producer and user accuracy in all three methods is related to sand dune class and the highest
amount of quantitative disagreement is assigned to the pixel based method for the class of wind
deposition and rangelands, In the object-oriented method, it is related to the class of agricultural lands
and sand dunes, and in the decision-tree method, it is related to the classes of agricultural lands and
rangelands. This may be due to the lack of acceptable separation of the sand dune class.
4- Discussion & Conclusions
In this study, it was assumed that the object-oriented classification method would more accurately
classify sand dunes and zones but since the sand dunes of Sarakhs do not follow specific morphology
and geometry and they are more longitudinal Therefore, the classification of these zones was
performed better with the pixel based method. But the land use, such as agricultural that follows
geometric shapes, was more accurately classified in the object-oriented method.
The area of sandy lands, including hills and sandy zones, was estimated to be about 1349 km2.
Most of these lands are located in the central part of the study area in the vicinity of biological and
physical elements. Also, the comparison of the area maps shows that the area of land using water
levels and agricultural lands are close to each other. and the area differences are mostly related to
rangelands, barren lands and sandy areas. Based on the results of this study, it can be suggested that
decision tree method is more suitable than pixel based and object oriented methods for classifying
land cover and detecting sandy zone changes and the most important reason is the use of both
algorithms.
