Extraction of Small Watershed Terraces in the Hilly Areas of Loess Plateau Through UAV Images with Object-oriented Approach
Extracting terraces accurately is very necessary for soil and water conservation monitoring and establishing a method of terraced field extraction in small watershed could provide technical support for soil erosion prevention and control on Loess Plateau. Taking Jianjiashan sub-watershed of Tianshui City
Gansu Province Water and Soil Conservation Scientific Experiment Station as the study area
this study tries to use object-oriented classification method to extract terraces by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) image data
which works by determining the optimal segmentation scale parameters based on the scale parameter evaluation tool with texture features of images as the input layer and selecting spectral features and visible vegetation index as the classification features. The results showed that: (1) when the local variance change rate is 101
the terraces boundary is obvious
which shows that the spectral
texture and shape features have great potential for depicting the boundaries of the terraces; (2) the single vegetation indices Color index of vegetation (CIVE)
Excess green (EXG)
Excess green minus excess red (EXGR)
Green/Blue reflectance ratio (GBRI)
Green/Red reflectance ratio (GRRI)
Normalized green-blue difference (NGBDI)
Visible difference vegetation index (VDVI) and Woebbecke (WI) were used as the classification features for terraces extraction
respectively. Among them
EXG vegetation index had the highest accuracy on terraces extraction
with an accuracy of 72.60%. And a method of terrace extraction based on nearest classifier was proposed in this study
which took the composite index (CIVE
WI
EXG
and EXGR) as classification feature to established classification threshold. The accuracy of new method proposed in this study was 91.20%
which was 18.60% higher than that of the classification method with single vegetation index. The object-oriented method based on multi-scale segmentation of UAV images can be applied to the extraction of terraces in loess hilly area
and the comprehensive vegetation index can significantly improve the classification accuracy.
