High resolution image can be used to distinguish the small difference of the ground things. Texture information can
avoid the matter of same spectral from different objective and different spectral with same objective which must be faced
when making classification with only spectral information. The main objective of this research was to determine the
capacity of high spatial resolution satellite image data to discriminate vegetation in urban area. A high spatial resolution
IKONOS image, coincident field data covering the urban area of linping scenic region in Yuhang town, Zhejiang
province in china, was used in this analysis. The vegetation of test region was classified as tea garden, masson pine, fir,
broadleaves, and shrub/herb based on the field data. Semi-variograms were calculated to differentiate vegetation classes
and assess which window sizes were most appropriate for calculation of grey-level co-occurrence texture measures. The
texture analysis showed that co-occurrence mean, variance, contrast, and correlation texture measures provided the most
significant statistical differentiation between vegetation classes. Subsequently, a decision tree classification was applied
to spectral and textural transformations of the IKONOS image data to classify the vegetation. Using both spectral and
textural image bands yielded the good classification accuracy (overall accuracy=81.72%). The results showed that it has
the higher accuracy to extract the urban green space from IKONOS imagery with the spectral and texture information, as
well as the vegetation index.
