How to using DEM as adding information and CART Analysis on Ecognition ?

Hello Friends,

Currently, i have some researches about object classification. I am using ecogniton before, but i am hardly knowing how to use DEM as a thematic layer on that. How to add altitude information from DEM into our ruleset? Is there anything feature represent altiltude (DEM) ?

I also want to use CART analysis as decision tree for choosing some features to split all my class. But, i dont know how to use it. I ask the author from paper i read, he told in ecognition 8, CART already built in so i dont need to use another software. Anyone can help me how to use that?

Thanks for any help friend. :)

umm, never heard about CART analysis, but did some googling and found that there is a standalone software for that. Try this paper also. BTW, I did find few articles you can use.

I wish that'll help. Try Google if not. ^_^

About DEM, did you try the tutorials?

Thanks rahman for your help. I had some papers similar with those and i already tried that software a month ago. Lately, i found that eCognition 8.7 had CART algorithm inside, so i dont need to use extra software to do decision tree analysis. But i still failed to do that in eCogintion.

Btw, do you have DEM for eCogintion tutorial? I am happy to see :)

Tutorial home of eCognition.

http://community.ecognition.com/home/training-material

In this thread, you'll find these lines,

1.) Create the desired image ratios/indexes/principle components/tasseled cap transformations etc for whatever image type you are using. For Landsat analysis at the moment we have about 30 such indexes/ratios defined.

2.) Get visual inspection training samples from

Google Earth or field survey or wherever...

store as shape file...

bring in to the project as thematic layer...

use "assign class by thematic layer"...

use "classified image objects to samples"...

use "Feature Space Optimization" and find a reasonable smaller set of the best ratios/indexes. (eg. For Landsat SLAVI, Classical Zabud, MaxDiff etc...)

3.) After multi-segmentation manually set up a CART/SVM algorithm at object level that uses only this optimized set of ratios/indexes features and run it.

4.) Clean-up with the "customized merge by class algorithm" available from the community rule-sets.

5.) Having achieved an initial classification with CART/SVM at object level, re-run at pixel level and look at major differences as this may indicate objects that might require additional segmentation or reclassification. Start playing around with reclassifying the problem areas using other eCognition techniques.

quite self-explanatory!

In eCognition the CART Analysis is called "Feature Space Optimization" - you can find it here: Classification >> Nearest Neighbor >> Feature Space Optimization.

 

  1. Create Classes
  2. Create Samples
  3. Select Features within the Feature Space Optimization window
  4. Calculate FSO
  5. Apply Features to NN-Feature Space ore to Classes
