The classification procedure entails the use of IKONOS four by four meter imagery and Landsat TM thirty by thirty meter imagery to classify wetlands, woodlands and the surface hydrology of the Scotty Creek region. Upon completion of the initial IKONOS classification, the constructed data set facilitates the bipartition of connected and disconnected wetlands with respect to the common drainage network. Remotely sensed satellite imagery of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is commonly used to facilitate the classification of wetland regions (Pietroniro et al, 1996). Satellite imagery allows the construction of base maps from which data may be extracted of otherwise inaccessible regions. Furthermore, other sources of data are often not available and thereby necessitate the acquisition of remotely sensed imagery. A consequence of the use of satellite imagery is that the accuracy and interpretation of these images are subjective and classification results may vary as a function of operator skill. Further, distinct image properties, such as spectral and spatial resolution of the surface features can hinder the classification process.
