UTC
• Urban tree canopy (UTC) is the layer of leaves, branches, and stems of trees that cover the ground when viewed from above.
• A canopy of urban trees includes Public (parks, streets, riparian corridors and neighbourhood)
• And private residential, commercial, industrial areas, etc.

Benefits
• The canopy provides shade and reduces the urban heating.
• It reduces pollution, provide beauty and provide habitats for wildlife.
• Trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding.
• Provides fresh air

OBIA
• OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’
• It focus not only on spectral properties but also on shape, texture, size and other topological features
• It is widely used with high resolution images
• object based approaches do not operate directly on individual pixels but on object.
![Page 7: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
OBIA
• OBIA approach that considers the spectral, spatial and contextual characteristics of tree objects
• The OBIA greatly reduces the salt-and-pepper effect in the classified image without adversely affecting the classified image accuracy.

Segmentation Process
![Page 19: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Segmentation Process
• A prerequisite to classification is image segmentation.
• Image objects are building blocks for further classification or other segmentation processes.
• There are two basic segmentation principles
1. Top-down Segmentation
(Chessboard Segmentation, Quadtree-Based Segmentation, Contrast Split Segmentation)
2. Bottom-up Segmentation
(Multiresolution Segmentation, Spectral Difference Segmentation)
![Page 20: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Exercise 3
Classify the urban landscape in different vegetation areas
![Page 25: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Contrast split segmentation
• NDVI layer is selected for contrast split segmentation algorithm.
![Page 26: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Contrast split segmentation result
Hence isolated trees having contrast with background can be easily identified. Area and elliptic fit are the parameters used for classification.
![Page 27: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In class of Small isolated trees some other vegetation area is included that is removed with standard deviation value of layer 7 i.e NIR 1.
![Page 28: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Multi-Level Analysis
In object oriented paradigm multiple levels can be created and various segmentation processes can be employed to get image object features at multiple levels. Multiresolution segmentation (MRS) is applied on remaining vegetation area to separate grass and tree clusters at level 2.

Feature selection
On this segmentation result different feature values are calculated for image objects. The features which are providing best separation between classes are used for assigning class. Rare grass is not chlorophyll rich area also soil particles are present within that area. Mean of red band, NDVI, area are the features used for separating rare grass class.

Canopy content chlorophyll index (CCCI) is used to separate out dense grass from vegetation class.
![Page 34: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Comparing Features
• To compare samples or layer histograms of two classes, select the classes or the levels you want to compare in the Active Class and Compare Class lists.
• Values of the active class are displayed in black in the diagram, the values of the compared class in blue.
• The mean value of band (range) and standard deviation of the samples are displayed on the right-hand side.

Morphology Operations
After grassland separation vegetation class is merged. From vegetation class small tree clusters are separated and morphological operations are applied on them. Morphology operations are used to smooth features.

vegetation area below shadow
• One more advantage of creating NDVI as separate band is that the vegetation area below shadow is also visible.
• This is however not possible with false color composite imagery.
• To do the analysis on vegetation area covered by shadow, preliminary requirement is detection of shadow.
![Page 39: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Combination of GRVI (Green Red Vegetation Index) and NDVI feature is used to classify the shadow area into vegetation below shadow which is visible only by NDVI band.
![Page 40: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Creating separate region for complex areas • In the imagery a few regions have very low contrast
between tree canopy and other vegetation. Such a specific region is selected and created a separate map for that region.
• Chessboard segmentation with object size 1 is applied on map. To extract the tree canopy seed pixels are selected first followed by region growing algorithm.
• In the newly created map seed pixels are those having maximum value of NIR1. This is done by find-domain-extrema algorithm. These seed pixels are grown into surrounding if difference between the parent and child is less than threshold value. So tree clusters are separated from other vegetation area having similar spectral properties. This new map is placed back on main project map by synchronize-map algorithm.

Synchronize the result back to main map with synchronize map algorithm. With the help of level and
class filter parameter results obtained on map 2 are place back to main map.

Nearest Neighbor Supervised Classification
![Page 53: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Nearest neighbor is one of the most popular supervised classification approach commonly present in all image analysis software (Zhang and Feng. 2005). In this method samples for each class are defined and other unknown image objects are assigned to the nearest neighbor in terms of features and observations within training samples.
![Page 54: Urban Tree Canopy Detection Using High Resolution ...OBIA •OBIA subdivides image into group of pixels (homogeneous) that form an ‘object’ •It focus not only on spectral properties](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7db23e2ada8d3b347bd6f6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Feature space optimization is one more popular approach which provides the most suitable combination of features for separating classes, in conjunction with a NN classifier. After segmentation process different features are obtained for image objects. On the set of such features feature space optimization is applied to select the best features for separating the classes.

Accuracy Assessment
• Quality of classification has to be accessed because up to date information comes from satellite images also this information can be input for decision making purposes.
• For accuracy assessment eCognition has built-in functionality.
• These tools produce statistical and graphical outputs that can be used to check the quality of classification results.
• The tables from statistical result are saved in comm-separated ASCII text files.

Accuracy Assessment
• Test samples are selected by random sampling method where each item in population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. For measuring the accuracy of classified image following important parameters are available.
• Error (confusion) Matrix • Producer’s Accuracy • User’s Accuracy • Overall Accuracy • Kappa Coefficient

Classification Result
• Along with error matrix classified image can also exported with algorithm “Export Classification View”.
• Test samples can also bring in sample space through TTA mask and then Accuracy assessment done through Error matrix based on TTA mask.
