In this thesis, I have proposed a LCC method for these areas. Firstly, a dense time-series of composite images was constructed from all available multi-year Landsat 8 images over the study area. A m odified compositing method was proposed for the compositing process using Landsa t 8 SR images. | Master thesis in Computer science Research on land cover classification methodologies for optical satellite images VIETNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HANOI UNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY MAN DUC CHUC RESEARCH ON LAND-COVER CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGIES FOR OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGES MASTER THESIS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE Hanoi 2017 VIETNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HANOI UNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY MAN DUC CHUC RESEARCH ON LAND-COVER CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGIES FOR OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGES DEPARTMENT COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR COMPUTER SCIENCE CODE 60480101 MASTER THESIS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE SUPERVISOR Dr. NGUYEN THI NHAT THANH Hanoi 2017 PLEDGE I hereby undertake that the content of the thesis Research on Land- Cover classification methodologies for optical satellite images is the research I have conducted under the supervision of Dr. Nguyen Thi Nhat Thanh.
