1 Alos PALSAR polarimetric data for land land cover classification in Amazon. An emphasis on phase information. Investigators: Luciano Vieira Dutra Corina C. Freitas Associate Res: Graziela B Scofield MS Students: Rogério G. Negri Sumaia Aboud-Neta Daniel Andrade.

2 Objectives Assessment of the Full Polarimetric data and/or derived features for land cover classification, specially the following: Polarimetric coherence magnitude and phase; Interferometric coherence magnitude; Complex multi-look data; Phase itself and fusioned; Several types of classifiers; Performance of standard and specialized; Discrimination of certain classes: recent deforestation. degraded forest, agriculture.

3 Study area: Tapajós National Forest. south of Santarém in the Brazilian Amazon. Pará State. Data: Level 1.1 PLR images (March 8 *, 2007 and April 23, 2007) Landsat-5 (June 21, 2007) * No classification

4 Field Work 2005 (updated by field reports and visual interpretation) Primary forest. degraded forest (2 years ago). forest under exploitation. recent deforestation(2 years ago). clean pasture. bare soil.

5 Pixel Based Classifiers Standard Classifiers. Standard (Gaussian) ML/ICM with equal a prioris for 3 or more channels cases; SVM Support Vector Machines. Radial Basis Functions Kernel Special pdf cases for SAR data ML and ICM; Two intensity polarimetric channels; From Wishart Distribution => Bi-variate Gamma (Lee et al, 1994) Phase Difference using coherence matrix; Also from Wishart Distribution (homogenous area) S r = SHH 2SHV S Wishart, K or G0 Distributions (Homogeneity dependent) Full Polarimetric. [ ] T VV

8 HH-VV Coherence and Phase Information March 8, 2007 March April 0.56 Pasture Soya HH,HV,VV (R,G,B) 0.40 Secondary Forest 0.40

9 HH-VV Phase and Coherence Information (continued) April 23, 2007 March April 0.38 Primary Forest Soya HH,HV,VV (R,G,B) 0.63 Bare Soil 0.46

10 Fusion of Total Power, HH-VV Phase Diff and PolCoh info.

11 Two color compositions compared

12 Multi-date Polarimetric Coherence Composition Composition: R (5),G(4),B(3) Composition : R (HH1_VV1),G (HH2_VV2), B(HH1_VV1) Images : (1) March 8, 2007; (2) April 23, 2007

13 Overview of Interferometric Coherence Maps Coherence HH1_HH2 Coherence VV1_VV2 Average Coherence (HV1_HV2 + VH1_VH2) / 2 R (HH1_HH2), G (VV1_VV2) B ((HV1_HV2 + VH1_VH2) / 2)

15 Main ML/ICM results 4 best* from 18 classifications Type of Data Channels (all ICM) Overall Accuracy (%) Kappa Best User Ac Worst User Ac P-value First-others 2 Intens,InCoh HH,HV,HH_HH Soya1 (99.7) Second (52.0) 2 Intensities InCoh, PolCoh HH,HV, HH_HH,HH_VV Soya1 (98.1) Second (44.4) 0.3 Full Pol Multilook matrix S r mlc Bare Soil (100) Degraded (50.0) Intensities HH,HV Bare Soil (99.8) Second (38.5) < *All ICM

16 Conclusions These conclusions must be considered for this seven classes scenario. Use of Interferometric Cohrence alone presented the best results for both classifiers addition of PolCoh worsened the accuracy indication that intrinsic dimensionality is 3 with InSAR. When using only Intensity channels it is better to use the proper distributions. HH-HV is a good choice with no InSAR products. SVM which is not a contextual classifier delivered worse results but consistent with ICM results. Phase presents discriminatory info specially for Soya, and it is taking in account when using Multi-look complex data. Two years degraded forest left to regenerate began to confuse with regeneration.
