Evaluation of Object-Based Greenhouse Mapping Using WorldView-3 VNIR and SWIR Data: A Case Study from Almería (Spain)

Plastic covered greenhouse (PCG) mapping via remote sensing has received a great deal of attention over the past decades. The WorldView-3 (WV3) satellite is a very high resolution (VHR) sensor with eight multispectral bands in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectral range, and eight additional...

description Plastic covered greenhouse (PCG) mapping via remote sensing has received a great deal of attention over the past decades. The WorldView-3 (WV3) satellite is a very high resolution (VHR) sensor with eight multispectral bands in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectral range, and eight additional bands in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region. A few studies have already established the importance of indices based on some of these SWIR bands to detect urban plastic materials and hydrocarbons which are also related to plastics. This paper aims to investigate the capability of WV3 (VNIR and SWIR) for direct PCG detection following an object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach. Three strategies were carried out: (i) using object features only derived from VNIR bands (VNIR); (ii) object features only derived from SWIR bands (SWIR), and (iii) object features derived from both VNIR and SWIR bands (All Features). The results showed that the majority of predictive power was attributed to SWIR indices, especially to the Normalized Difference Plastic Index (NDPI). Overall, accuracy values of 90.85%, 96.79% and 97.38% were attained for VNIR, SWIR and All Features strategies, respectively. The main PCG misclassification problem was related to the agricultural practice of greenhouse whitewash (greenhouse shading) that temporally masked the spectral signature of the plastic film.
