LULC classification of urban areas is a difficult task due to high spectral and spatial variability, especially with the use of single data source. The result of spectral angle mapper (SAM) classification, a supervised classification method, on hyperspectral imagery is compared with that of a knowledge based classification (KBC) combining LiDAR and hyperspectral data. Spectra from ASTER library was used as reference spectra for SAM classification while for Knowledge based classification nDSM derived from LiDAR data and indices derived from Hyperspectral data has been used. It was found that knowledge based classification had 7-8% more accuracy than SAM classification. Thus, it can be concluded that Knowledge based cl...
