    This study aims to map and evaluate digital classification methods of mapping of LULC using Very High Resolution (VHR) Quickbird satellite imagery in one of the Langkawi UNESCO Global Geopark, that is Kilim Karst Geoforest Park (KKGP) which is located at northeast of Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia. Object-based and pixel-based classification methods were explored and compared. Object-based method involved multi-resolution segmentation part where scale parameter, shape and compactness should be assigned as accurate as possible, so that the image is segmented to homogenous area. Both segmentation and classification processes were conducted in e-Cognition software. While, a supervised classification, Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) involved selection of training areas was used for pixel-based method using ERDAS Imagine software. Then, classification accuracies were assessed by comparing both techniques using error matric and Kappa coefficient.

    Spatio-Temporal Analysis of River Morphological Changes and Erosion Detection Using Very High Resolution Satellite Image
    (IOP Publishing, 2018) N Mohamad; M F A Khanan; I A Musliman; W H W Kadir; A Ahmad; M Z A Rahman; M H Jamal; M Zabidi; N M Suaib; R M Zain
    Spatio-temporal analysis of Kilim River using Very High-Resolution (VHR) satellite image between the years of 2005 and 2012 are vital to assess river morphological changes and erosion detection over the specific time duration. Therefore, this study utilizes remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) capabilities to identify the channel migration and shifting as well as to calculate the rate of erosion and accretion.
