Application of Deep Learning Algorithms for Land Use and Land Cover Change Detection
摘要
Monitoring forests, grasslands, farms, empty areas, cities, and water is vital for studying global changes and urban planning. Information about Land cover and its variations is required to effectively manage natural resources, observe global environmental changes with their consequences. Detecting variations over time helps to assess the impact of human activities on the landscape, for disaster management, resource usage and sustainable development. The aim of the work involves developing a deep learning model for estimation of change detection in Land use and Land cover (LULC). The study area for this work is Nuzividu located in Andhra Pradesh, India. Experiments are done using freely available time series satellite data set of Resourcesat-1 taken from Bhuvan, NRSC Initially clustering is done using K-means clustering and Fuzzy C means (FCM) clustering algorithms. Also, Residual Neural Network (ResNet) architecture is used for the classification of different land cover types. Change detection is observed over a period of 10 years viz., 2009 to 2019.
