Abstract
Mapping of Alkubub dunes land Cover within an Urban-desert environment
using LANDSAT Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery is the main objective of this study.
Regional and urban planning analysis studies for Land Cover mapping has proved to
be an effective tool to monitor natural and human-induced environmental changes. In
this study supervised classification using maximum likelihood classifier has been used
to identify surrounding dunes terrain. It has been proved that the proposed scheme is
capable to delineate different features including vegetation, roads, Moderate Arable
Land (MAL), Good Arable Land (GAL), Non-agricultural land (NAL), and urban with
high classification accuracy.
