Rate of Land Cover Change of Caraga Region

Rationale:
The Objective of Creation of Rate of Land Cover Change in Caraga Ragion is to have
a representation of how does the land cover changes at certain range of time.
Methodology and Procedures
The idea of how to make the rate of land cover change of caraga region is by Postclassification Landcover Analysis. In post-classification Landcover Analysis, land
cover change is detected as a change in a Landcover label /classification between
two or more images.

Procedures

Download LandSat Data according to year (2014, 2002, 1996).

Segmentation of the raster data according to the parameters of Layer 3, 4,
and 5 as segment parameters.
Manually classify the segmented data as samples.
Extract the values of the manually classifed data.
Classification is done, merging all classified LandSat then compute the area
covered by the class (Built-up, High Density Vegetation, Low Density
Vegetation).
Compute the Rate of change of caraga region (1996, 2002, 2014) by using
the change of the area per class.

Support Vector Machine algorithm
This scatter plot shows the relation and the characteristics of the samples or
classes (Built-up, Clouds, High density vegetation, Low density vegetation) to
the feature space (Layer 3, Layer 4, Layer 5) for classification. this samples are
density vegetation gathered for image classisifaction to the feature space
being extracted using segmentation of the LandSat data in relation to its
Layers( Layer 3, 4, and 5, which is green, red and NIR(Near-Infrared)).
Support vector Machine algorithm do the process of finding separating line
which is called the "Hyper Plane" for those classes(Built-up, Clouds, etc.)
To find the Accuracy of classification using SVM algorithm and the best hyper
plane for those classes by using "Three-Fold Cross-validation technique" .
