Water for a food-secure world
Developing a Moderate Resolution Irrigated Area Map for South Asia using segmentation and time series analysis
www.iwmi.org
Water for a food-secure world
Why Irrigated Area Mapping?
• Perspective of achieving food security by increasing irrigation
• Though 70-85 % of water used• Especially with current situation of
population, urbanization , climate change etc.
• Important to assess the spatial distribution, intensity, water use etc.

Is it new?
• Many products available globally - FAO, IWMI• Also national products- CBIP, India• Global Irrigated Area Map(GIAM) – developed
by IWMI in 2006• GIAM -Resolution of 10km and datasets from
1990 -1999, AVHRR• Very course product with detailed
classification

Global Irrigated Area Mapping
• Product from IWMI - developed using multiple global datasets
• Different datasets were used at – Segmentation/Localization of landscape– Classification into different units– Time series analysis to identify irrigation
intensity
• Nominal resolution of 10KM• Datasets used were from 1990 – 2000

Need/Opportunity to update GIAM
• Data available from 250m spatial resolution• Highly capable HW/SW available for data intensive
processes• Good temporal coverage• Extensive change in the landscape would have
happened in 12 years• New algorithms in image classification – ‘object based
image analysis’• Updating the irrigated area map for South East Asia

Optimal segmentation
• Region growing algorithm – SPRING open source software
• Main parameters; “Similarity” and “Area”• Objective function based on spatial auto
correlation to determine best parameters • Optimal segmentation > good classification• Another factor > size of the image• Bigger the size > more mix in clustering results• Optimal size found from trial runs 250km by 200km

• Use of customizable open source tools• Developing a R package to manage the segmentation• Program in R to control
• Dicing the imageries• Segmentation – SPRING software• Classification• Extracting the agc• Time series on agc• Localizing based on secondary datasets• Class assignment based on irrigation intensity
• Time consuming/Manual• Class assignment at both classification levels• Comments?
Speeding up the localized approach

Water for a food-secure world
Conclusions• High resolution global datasets available now• Introducing a localized approach to avoid mixes• Key is to identify MMU with homogeneous pattern• Scope for semi automating the process using R scripting• Can’t avoid the manual interventions though…
