Monitoring land use/cover changes in humid tropical agricultural landscapes is crucial to establishing sustainable rural developments. However, the characteristic spatiotemporal complexity of mosaic landscapes makes it difficult to obtain accurate land use/cover maps using single-dated and moderate-resolution remotely sensed images. In this study, we attempted to classify land use/cover by utilizing texture measures to improve object-oriented classification based on a single-dated QuickBird image. The procedure consists of two steps: (1) assessing the spatial size of image objects to be segmented that is adequate for obtaining discriminable textural features among land uses/covers calculated by Haralick's texture measures based on a grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) using the panchromatic band, and (2) developing a hierarchical classification rule set with a classification and regression tree model (CART) using the textural and spectral information. The best discrimination was derived from the largest windows when separability among land-cover types was calculated in window sizes from 3 × 3 to 31 × 31 pixels. GLCM texture measures, especially entropy, improved classification accuracy in delineating paddy fields irrespective of the stage of rice growth. The classification rule set derived from the CART modelling was intuitively understandable: a whole image was divided into green and nongreen texturally homogeneous or heterogeneous land use/cover classes, which seems to describe the fundamental nature of the characteristics of various land uses/covers of agricultural landscapes.
