Abstract:This study presents the development of a semi-automated processing chain for OBIA urban land-cover and land-use classification. Implemented in Python and relying on existing open-source software GRASS GIS and R. The complete tool chain is available in open-access and adaptable to specific user needs. For automation purpose, we developed two GRASS GIS add-ons allowing (1) to optimize segmentation parameters in an unsupervised manner and (2) to classify remote sensing data using several individual machine learning classifiers or their predictions combination through voting-schemes. We tested the performance and transferability of the processing chain using sub-metric multispectral and height data on two very different urban environments: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in sub-Saharan Africa and Liège, Belgium in Western Europe. Using a hierarchical classification scheme, the kappa values reached for both cities about 0.78 at the second level (9 and 11 classes) and 0.90 at the first level (5 classes).
