摘要
The integration of optical and SAR datasets through ensemble machine learning models shows promising results in urban remote sensing applications. The integration of multi-sensor datasets enhances the accuracy of information extraction. This research presents a comparison of two ensemble machine learning classifiers (random forest and extreme gradient boost (XGBoost)) classifiers using an integration of optical and SAR features and simple layer stacking (SLS) techniques. Therefore, Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Landsat 8 (optical) datasets were used with SAR textures and enhanced modified indices to extract features for the year 2023. The classification process utilized two machine learning algorithms, random forest and XGBoost, for urban impervious surface extraction. The study focused on three significant East Asian cities with diverse urban dynamics: Jakarta, Manila, and Seoul. This research proposed a novel index called the Normalized Blue Water Index (NBWI), which distinguishes water from other features and was utilized as an optical feature. Results showed an overall accuracy of 81% for UIS classification using XGBoost and 77% with RF while classifying land use land cover into four major classes (water, vegetation, bare soil, and urban impervious). However, the proposed framework with the XGBoost classifier outperformed the RF algorithm and Dynamic World (DW) data product and comparatively showed higher classification accuracy. Still, all three results show poor separability with bare soil class compared to ground truth data. XGBoost outperformed random forest and Dynamic World in classification accuracy, highlighting its potential use in urban remote sensing applications.
