From the introduction: “The geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) technique was emerged since the late 1990s, to overcome human interpreters ability to identify and delineate features of interest (Benz et al., 2004, Meinel and Neubert, 2004). The GEOBIA technique could be useful to solve the problems of high spectral variability within the same land-cover classes in VHR imagery (Yu et al. 2006. LU and Weng, 2007). GEOBIA has mainly two steps which are: (a) image segmentation to produce image objects/segments, and (b) image classification.
