Abstract

Wetlands have received intensive interdisciplinary attention as a unique ecosystem and valuable resources. As a new technology, the airborne LiDAR system has been applied in wetland research these years. However, most of the studies used only one or two LiDAR observations to extract either terrain or vegetation in wetlands. This research aims at integrating LiDAR's multiple attributes (DSM, DTM, off-ground features, Slop map, multiple pulse returns, and normalized intensity) to improve mapping and classification of wetlands based on a multi-level object-oriented classification method. By using this method, we are able to classify the Yellow River Delta wetland into eight classes with overall classification accuracy of 92.5%
