Abstract

Detection of surface water features including river, wetland, reservoir from the satellite imagery can be utilized for sustainable management and survey of water resources. This research compared the water indices derived from the multispectral bands and the machine learning technique for detecting the surface water features from he Landsat-8 satellite image acquired in Daegu through the following steps. First, the NDWI(Normalized Difference Water Index) image and the MNDWI(Modified Normalized Difference Water Index) image were separately generated using the multispectral bands of the given Landsat-8 satellite image, and the two binary images were generated from these NDWI and MNDWI images, respectively. Then SVM(Support Vector Machine), the widely used machine learning techniques, were employed to generate the land cover image and the binary image was also generated from the generated land cover image. Finally the error matrices were used for measuring the accuracy of the three binary images for detecting the surface water features. The statistical results showed that the binary image generated from the MNDWI image(84%) had the relatively low accuracy than the binary image generated from the NDWI image(94%) and generated by SVM(96%). And some misclassification errors occurred in all three binary images where the land features were misclassified as the surface water features because of the shadow effects.

위성영상을 활용한 하천, 습지, 호수 등 지표수 객체의 탐지는 해당 지역의 수자원 관리 및 조사 업무에 효율적으로 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 원격탐사 분야에서 물을 탐지하기 위해 제공하는 수분지수(Water Index)와 영상으로부터 객체를 인식하는 데 폭넓게 활용되는 기계학습(Machine learning) 기법을 대구광역시를 촬영한 Landsat-8 위성영상에 개별적으로 적용하여 하천, 호수 등 다양한 지표수 객체를 탐지하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 우선 Landsat-8 위성영상의 다중분광 밴드로부터 NDWI(Normalized Difference Water Index), MNDWI(Modified Normalized Difference Water Index) 영상을 생성하였고, 임계치를 적용하여 개별 영상으로부터 물과 그 외 지역을 구분할 수 있는 이진 영상(Binary image)을 제작하였다. 그리고 기계학습 기법인 SVM(Support Vector Machine)을 동일 위성영상에 적용하여 토지 피복 영상을 제작하고 이로부터 이진 영상을 제작하였다. 최종적으로 100개의 검사점(Checkpoints)을 사용하여 세 이진 영상으로부터 지표수 탐지를 위한 정확도를 오차 행렬을 활용하여 계산하였다. 그 결과, MNDWI 영상으로부터 제작된 이진 영상의 정확도(84%)가 NDWI 영상으로부터 제작된 이진 영상의 정확도(94%)와 SVM에 의해 제작된 이진 영상의 정확도(96%)에 비해 낮았으며, 모든 이진 영상에서 그림자 등의 원인으로 인해 일부 육지 분류 결과가 지표수 객체로 오분류되었다.
