Potential of RapidEye image data from 2010-04-25 for sediment monitoring of the German tidal flats

This sediment classification is based on a preprocessed RapidEye data of 2010-04-25. The preprocessing steps comprises an atmospheric correction with ENVI's FLAASH, a Fast Fourier Transformation and a Maximum Noise Fraction Transform. The classification itself is a hierarichal decision tree with customized reflectance parameters. The overall accuracy is 70.39 % with a Kappa coefficient of 0.39. This classification was created within the project WiMo at the Institute for Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing (IGF) in Osnabrück.
