Object-based image analysis (OBIA) has gained widespread popularity for creating maps
from remotely sensed data. Researchers routinely claim that OBIA procedures outperform …

Safeguarding the diversity of natural and semi-natural habitats in Europe is one of the aims
set out by the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural …

Biodiversity is essential to healthy ecosystem function, influencing productivity and
resilience to disturbance. Biodiversity loss endangers essential ecosystem services and …

The amount of scientific literature on (Geographic) Object-based Image Analysis–GEOBIA
has been and still is sharply increasing. These approaches to analysing imagery have …

We introduce a new automated approach to parameterising multi-scale image segmentation
of multiple layers, and we implemented it as a generic tool for the eCognition® software …

Abstract Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) is becoming more prevalent in
remote sensing classification, especially for high-resolution imagery. Many supervised …

This article first examines three existing methods of delineating open water features, ie the
normalized difference water index (NDWI), the modified normalized difference water index …

Driven by advances in technology and societal needs, the next frontier in remote sensing is
urban areas. With the advent of high-resolution imagery and more capable techniques, the …

Most object-based image analysis use parameters to control the size, shape, and
homogeneity of segments. Because each parameter may take a range of possible values …

Geoinformation derived from Earth observation (EO) plays a key role for detecting, analyzing
and monitoring landslides to assist hazard and risk analysis. Within the framework of the EC …
