Diploma thesis deals with the land cover classification in Sidama region of Ethiopia and 2 kebeles, Chancho and Dangora Morocho. High resolution Sentinel-2 and very high resolution PlanetScope satellite images are used. The development of the classification algorithm is done in the Google Earth Engine cloud based environment. Ten combinations of the 4 most important parameters of the Random Forest classification method are tested. The defined legend contains 8 land cover classes, namely built-up, crops, grassland/pasture, forest, scrubland, bareland, wetland and water body. The training dataset is collected in the field during the fall 2020. The classification results of the two data types at two scales are compared. The highest overall accuracy for land cover classification of Sidama region came out to be 84.1% and kappa index of 0.797, with Random Forest method parameters of 100 trees, 4 spectral bands entering each tree, value of 1 for leaf population and 40% of training data used for each tree. For the land cover classification of Chancho and Dangora Morocho kebele with the same method settings, the overall accuracy came out to be 66.00 and 73.73% and kappa index of 0.545 and 0.601. For the classification of Chancho kebele, a different combination of parameters (80, 3, 1, 0.4) worked out better...

Classification of selected agricultural crops from time series of Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope imagery in Kutnohorsko model area Abstract The thesis is focused on the analysis of spectral characteristics of selected agricultural crops druring agriculutural season from time series of Sentinel -2 (A and B) and PlanetScope sensors in the model area situated around the settlements of Kolín and Kutná Hora. It is based on the assumption that the use of multiple dates of image data acquired crops in different phenological phases of the crops allows better identification of crop species (Lu et al., 2004). The aim of the thesis was to analyse the characteristics of the seasonal course of spectral features of selected agricultural crops (sugar beet, spring barley, winter barley, maize, spring wheat, winter wheat, winter rape) and to determine the period of the year suitable for the differentiation of individual crops. Another aim of the thesis was to classify these crops in the model area from time series of two above-mentioned sensors and to compare the accuracy of the pixel and object-oriented classification approach for multitemporal composites and the accuracy for monotemporal image from the term when the individual crops are clearly distinguishable. The training and validation datasets and the classification mask...
