Abstract: The aim of this paper is the development of an algorithm, based on expert knowledge, for the Land cover classification of an Italian Grassland Area. To accomplish this task, a dataset composed by 4 Worldiew-2 (WV-2) images, at 2 m of spatial resolution, has been considered. Despite their poor spectral resolution, Very High spatial Resolution (VHR) data allow the identification of individual objects by means of the information in the relationship between adjacent pixels, including texture and shape. For this reason a Geographic Object-Based Imag...
