Abstract:In this article,based on the analysis and improvement of traditional method of remote sensing classification for construction land and impervious surface, according to the characteristics of rural residential land, combining with comprehensive analysis technique of object-oriented classification,multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing data,by using prior knowledge,through a combination of remote sensing and GIS technology,a new method has put forward to the extraction of rural residential land classification. An experiment has been carried out by using remote sensing data in Beijing,it is showed that the result has high accuracy on automatic classification. In addition, it can improve accuracy and satisfy the demand of high-precision studying and monitoring by editing polygon obtained after partitioning images.
