Résumé
The object-based against pixel-based image analysis approaches were assessed for lithological mapping in a geologically complex terrain using Visible Near Infrared (VNIR) bands of WorldView-3 (WV-3) satellite imagery. The study area is Hormuz Island, southern Iran, a salt dome composed of dominant sedimentary and igneous rocks. When performing the object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach, the textural and spectral characteristics of lithological features were analyzed by the use of support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. However, in the pixel-based image analysis (PBIA), the spectra of lithological end-members, extracted from imagery, were used through the spectral angle mapper (SAM) method. Several test samples were used in a confusion matrix to assess the accuracy of classification methods quantitatively. Results showed that OBIA was capable of lithological mapping with an overall accuracy of 86.54% which was 19.33% greater than the accuracy of PBIA. OBIA also reduced the salt-and-pepper artifact pixels and produced a more realistic map with sharper lithological borders. This research showed limitations of pixel-based method due to relying merely on the spectral characteristics of rock types when applied to high-spatial-resolution VNIR bands of WorldView-3 imagery. It is concluded that the application of an object-based image analysis approach obtains a more accurate lithological classification when compared to a pixel-based image analysis algorithm.
