Lab-Assignment 7 2
LAB OBJECTIVES
2
Explain the difference
between the capabilities
of a pixel based classifier
vs. an object based
classifier.
3
Be familiar with some of
the more common
algorithms used in
eCognition software.
1
Understand how rule sets
work in eCognition
software
Lab-Assignment 7 3
eCognition, developed by Trimble, is a geospatial
software specializing in Object-Based Image Analysis
(OBIA). It allows automated image analysis through
rule-based classification, integrating seamlessly with
GIS platforms. The software finds applications in
environmental monitoring, forestry, agriculture, and
disaster management, excelling in extracting
information from high-resolution imagery. With
customizable workflows, users can adapt the software
to specific analysis requirements. eCognition supports
various remote sensing data types, including
multispectral and hyperspectral imagery, LiDAR, and
radar data. Trimble's acquisition enhances its
geospatial portfolio, providing comprehensive solutions
for professionals in the field.

Customized rulesets
Utilize the Python integration and combine image interpretation
like object creation and classification with rulesets to define
the required output.
Quality and robustness
Obtain robust and quality automation by combining the best of
object-based image analysis and AI technologies
Extracting information
Quickly generate analytics and extract new geospatial
information for use in GIS or to create specialized applications
Scaled processing
Drastically reduce processing time with server batch
processing to accelerate the transformation of data to
information.

What does the process step in Beach do? What element of
image interpretation is this utilizing? Could you do this with a
pixel based classifier like ERDAS Imagine’s unsupervised
classifier?
identification: recognition of certain target. A simple example
is to identify vegetation types, soil types, rock types and water
bodies. The higher the spatial/spectral resolution of an image,
the more detail we can derive from the image.
Yes we could do but it will be difficult as depend upon
resolution of image.

Four band imagery is multispectral, which means that it is
collected from several parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The spectrum is the entire range of light radiation, from gamma
rays to radio waves, including Xrays, microwaves, and visible
light. Four band imagery, when delivered to a customer,
typically contains red, green, blue, and near infrared bands.
Only three bands can be viewed at one time in most software
applications in use at present
