SAR Image Time Series Analysis in Vegetation Classification Using Global and Local Information Based Linear Discriminant Analysis

Vegetation classification using SAR images is one of the research topics in remote sensing. In this paper, SAR image time series analysis in vegetation classification using global and local information based linear discriminant analysis is presented. It is experimentally demonstrated that the use of local pattern information in addition to global pattern information has increased both accuracy and time performance in vegetation classification using time-series TerraSAR-X images.
