Abstract
Multitemporal Spectral Mixture Analysis • Highly accurate in depicting changes in forest cover: Soil, NPV and GV are sensitive to inter-date change in ‘natural’ cover • Decision Tree Classifier outperformed a Conventional Maximum Likelihood Classifier by 10% overall and by an average of 9% for each cover change class • Inclusion of ancillary data sets to reduce spectral confusion and texture images to enhance accuracy
