Resümee

Timely updating of wetland map is vital to wetland research and management. However, the highly hydro-dynamic characteristics and great spatial heterogeneity of wetlands pose challenges in updating large-scale wetland thematic maps in a timely manner. General mapping methods, such as supervised or object-oriented classification, are time consuming and can be easily affected by cognitive differences. To address this issue, we propose an automatic updating method of wetland map, namely, iterative interview and reorganization. We aim to design a method that can transfer the knowledge from existing wetland thematic maps into the classification of a new remote sensing image. At the same time, the method should be robust for different geographical conditions. Rather than adapting samples between different domains, Iterative Interview and reorganization (IIR) tries to obtain the precise spatial distribution of ground objects first and then defines the properties of the spatial distributions by matching their spatial features. The method can tackle complex situations caused by changes of ground objects. This automatic method achieves an overall accuracy ranging from 70% to 90%, similar to the results of general supervised classification. In some cases, IIR has better performance in the identification of detailed information than that the support vector machine or maximum likelihood classification, such as for boundaries of ground objects and slender targets. To examine the performance of this method, we choose four wetland reserves with various geographical environments across China, including the Momoge Nature Reserve in high latitude, the Zoige Reserve in high altitude, Poyang Lake in a hot-humid area, and Yellow River Delta along a coastal area. Both overall and individual accuracies of various wetland classes in the four study areas are higher than those of the general supervised classification. Furthermore, IIR can automatically detect new classes such as paddy field. Without extra samples, IIR achieves better classification in four study areas of different landscapes. This method is not only adaptable for eliminating unfavorable factors, such as terrain or clouds, but also more flexible and robust when dealing with different wetlands and phenological changes, demonstrating that the IIR method can be applied in large-scale thematic map updating. IIR can have a consistent interpretation of the same wetland class because all procedures are carried out without expert knowledge. In conclusion, IIR can meet the needs of automatic updating of large-scale wetland thematic maps.
