Conservaore Naonal des Ars e Méers, 9 Rue San Marn, Pars 75003, France Receved: Feburary 9, 03 / Acceped: March 8, 03 / Publshed: Aprl 5, 03 Absrac: All of he Landsa 7 daa colleced afer 003 conans mssng pxels n he form of unsghly srpes across he mages. To recover mssng daa of a Landsa mage, dfferen mehods may be used. However, he gap fllng process creaes nconssences on pxel nensy values. The ncongruous pxel numbers are anomolous observaons and her classfcaon n he reference specer s challengng. In an effor o conrbue o hs need, we propose a relable robus approach o classfy nconssen pxels afer he gap fllng process. To esmae mulvarae locaon-scale parameers a new robus D (deph mnmum vecor varance esmaor) s presened. The D algorhm does no requre any marx nverson for s calculaon, consequenly s compuaonal me s hghly reduced. The resuls show ha has a hgh breakdown pon and s very effcen for large daa se. Landsa remoe sensng daa of Jakara Provnce across years 00 and 00 are used as case sudy. Key words: Deph funcon, mnmum vecor varance, covarance marx, Mahalanobs dsance.. Inroducon Landsa saelles daa are frequenly used o analyze land-use and land-cover changes, [, 9-]. A common approach of land cover change sudes usng Landsa daa has been o use mages o classfy land no dfferen caegores, and o quanfy changes n caegores across dfferen daes n me [4,, 6, 7, 9]. Snce 003, he, SLC (scan lne correcor), of Landsa 7 faled and he falure appears o be permanen. The non-funconng SLC causes large gaps a he edges of he mage. Amng o resore an mage, a gap fllng procedure s appled []. However, he gap fllng process arses he problem of nconssences on pxel nensy values. The ncongruous pxel numbers are anomolous observaons and her classfcaon n he reference Correspondng auhor: Dyah E. Herwnda, Ph.D., assocae professor, research felds: daa mnng. Emal: herwnda@unar.ac.d. specer s challengng because, requres daa processng mehods, capable o classfy nconssen pxels and produce conssen land-cover monorng. In an effor o conrbue o hs need, we have developed a relable robus approach o classfy dscordan pxels afer he gap fllng process for land cover change sudes usng Landsa daa. The cornersone of robus sascs s he robus esmaon of mulvarae locaon-scale parameers. Poneerng work n hs area has been can be found n [5, 8, 5]. In sascal leraure, we fnd several hgh breakdown esmaors for mulvarae mean and covarance marx. A well known and largely used robus esmaor s he MCD (mnmum covarance deermnan) [3]. Under regulary condons, Hawkns n Ref. [6] proposed he FSA (feasble soluon algorhm), whch ensured an opmal soluon for MCD. Aferwards, Rousseeuw and Van Dresen n Ref. [4] nroduced an mproved algorhm called he FMCD (fas mnmum covarance deermnan). The

2 Robus Classfcaon of Remoe Sensng Daa for Green Space Analyss 8 FMCD s a robus procedure wh hgh breakdown pon, bu as ndcaed n Ref. [8], mgh be neffcen for large daa ses. To mprove hs aspec, Herwnda e al. n Ref. [7] proposed he (mnmum vecor varance), whch s effecve for huge daa ses. has he same breakdown pon as FMCD bu s compuaonal aspecs are by far advanageous. Ths paper proposes a relable algorhm for robus supervsed land-cover classfcaon n remoe sensng. To esmae mulvarae locaon-scale parameers, a new robus deph funcon s presened. Is calculaon does no requre any covarance marx nverson [], whch s a valuable asse when one deals wh huge daa ses. The supervsed green space classfcaon s done wh a convenonal wo phase process: ranng ses and mage cell classfcaon. The sample areas for he ranng sep are seleced by human assessors. The oucomes of ranng ses are he specral references of green space,.e. he waer cachmen and vegeaon areas. Then specral reference values are used o classfy he enre mages from Landsa saelle. The area under nvesgaon s Jakara Provnce. In order o make hs paper self conaned, n Secon we provde a background summary of remoe sensng daa and preprocessng for classfcaon. In Secon 3 we descrbe he mehods and he algorhm used o classfy land-cover no dfferen caegores. Then, monorng resuls of green space areas of Jakara Provnce across years 00 and 00 are presened n Secon 4. The paper concludes wh addonal remarks and references.. Remoe Sensng Maerals Landsa saelles have been provdng mulspecral mages of Earh connuously snce early 970 s. The purpose of he Landsa program s o provde world s scenss and applcaon engneers wh a connung sream of remoe sensng daa for monorng and managng earh s resources [0, ]. A common approach usng Landsa daa has been o use mages o classfy land no dfferng caegores, and o quanfy changes n caegores beween dfferen daes [, 6, 9]. Land cover and land use changes are mporan ndcaors of human acves and clmac change. In Jakara Provnce proeced area publc polces and her managemen by Governor s offce are cenral o undersand he recen land cover changes [4].. Sudy Area The case of research s Jakara mulspecral magng from Landsa 7 saelle. Jakara s he capal of Indonesa ha s spread over an area of around 700 km wh populaon up o 9.5 mllon n 00. The supervsed classfcaon s done for change deecon of Jakara green space areas. The area under nvesgaon s covered by coordnae 5 9' " - 6 3' 54"S laude and 06 ' 4" ' 8"E longude.. Daa Ses Tff formaed mages across years 00 and 00 are used as npus. Daa s capured by sensors havng 7 bands nvolvng he vsble specral, NIR, and MIR. The spaal resoluon of bands n -5, and n 7 are 30 m, he resoluon of he sxh band s 60 m. On May 3, 003, SLC of Landsa 7 ETM+ (Enhanced Themac Mapper Plus), faled. Snce ha me all Landsa ETM+ mages have wedge-shaped gaps. The mpac of falure resuls n approxmaely 0% daa loss. The gap fllng s he preprocessng echnque used o fll mssng pars of remoe sensed magery. e do he gap fllng procedure wh he mul source.
