Burned Area Mapping In The Flint Hills Using Object-Based Classification of MODIS Imagery

Study Area

IntroductionWhy identify burned areas? -Burn prevalence is misreported -Grassland burning is understudied -Burning : affects plant communities : affects livestock : affects native species : affects air quality : controls woody vegetation

Why object-based classification? -Burns have rarely been mapped with the technique -Grassland burns have never been mapped with the technique -Problems inherent in pixel-based approaches can be alleviated -GIS friendly

Rhett MohlerKansas State University, Dept. of Geography, 118 Seaton Hall, Manhattan, KS, 66506

Data & MethodsModerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) -250 meter resolution -Daily temporal coverage -Bands 1 & 2 used in this study -Band 1 (red: 620-670 nm) -Band 2 (NIR: 841-876 nm)

Object-based technique (eCognition software) -Segmentation by Fractal Net Evolution

-Classification -Training data were selected (five classes) -Objects were grouped into classes
