Multi-Sensor Image Classification Using the Random Forest Algorithm in Google Earth Engine with KOMPSAT-3/5 and CAS500-1 Images

This study conducted multi-sensor image classification by utilizing Google Earth Engine (GEE) and applying satellite imagery from Korean Multi-purpose Satellite 3 (KOMPSAT-3), KOMPSAT-5 SAR, Compact Advanced Satellite 500-1 (CAS500-1), Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 within GEE. KOMPSAT-3/5 and CAS500-1...

description This study conducted multi-sensor image classification by utilizing Google Earth Engine (GEE) and applying satellite imagery from Korean Multi-purpose Satellite 3 (KOMPSAT-3), KOMPSAT-5 SAR, Compact Advanced Satellite 500-1 (CAS500-1), Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 within GEE. KOMPSAT-3/5 and CAS500-1 images are not provided by GEE. The land-use and land-cover (LULC) classification was performed using the random forest (RF) algorithm provided by GEE. The study experimented with 10 cases of various combinations of input data, integrating Sentinel-1/-2 imagery and high-resolution imagery from external sources not provided by GEE and those normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data. The study area is Boryeong city, located on the west coast of Korea. The classified objects were set to six categories, reflecting the region’s characteristics. The accuracy of the classification results was evaluated using overall accuracy (OA), the kappa coefficient, and the F1 score of the classified objects. The experimental results show a continued improvement in accuracy as the number of applied satellite images increased. The classification result using CAS500-1, Sentinel-1/-2, KOMPSAT-3/5, NDVI from CAS500-1, and NDVI from KOMPSAT-3 achieved the highest accuracy. This study confirmed that the use of multi-sensor data could improve classification accuracy, and the high-resolution characteristics of images from external sources are expected to enable more detailed analysis within GEE.
