A study on land cover classification based on HJ-1 CCD image

Remote sensing technique has become one of the most effective means to acquire land cover information. The CCD cameras onboard the environment and disaster monitoring and forecasting satellite constellation (HJ-1 satellites) are advanced in spatial resolution, image coverage and revisit frequency. Thus, it can be very efficient to do land cover classification using their images. Taking Zhongshan County in Guangxi province as the study area, this paper studies on the best method of land cover classification based on HJ-1 CCD image and other assistant data. In order to test the general applicability of this land cover classification method, this paper also applies the method to another place.
