Application of Classification Techniques for Identification of Water Region in Multiple Sources using Landsat-8 OLI Imagery

Abstract

Landsat-8 OLI (Operational Land Imagery) data is used to identify the water of the Ganges and the Yamuna in the Sangam region of Allahabad of Uttar Pradesh, India. Landsat-8 has eleven different bands and each band has its own significance in terms of remotely sensed information. The study exhibits the suitable band from these available eleven bands to classify the water of two rivers in the same class more accurately, either we use supervised or unsupervised classification schemes. The study will help to choose that band which will identify the water in such regions where different sources of water used to meet.
