Abstract
In recent years, land cover changes very quickly in urban areas due to the impact of population growth and socio-economic development. The authors present the method of land cover/land use classification based on the combination of Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 multi-resolution satellite images. A middle infrared band (band 11), a near infrared (band 8) of Sentinel 2 image and a thermal infrared one (band 10) of Landsat 8 image were used to calculate EBBI (Enhanced Built-up and Barreness Index). The EBBI index and Sentinel 2 spectral bands with spatial resolution 10 m (band 2, 3, 4, 8) were used to classify the land cover. The obtained results showed that, the method of land cover classification based on combination of Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 satellite images improves the overall accuracy by about 5 % compared with the one using only Sentinel 2 data. The results obtained at the study can be used for the management, assessment and monitoring the status and dynamics of land cover in urban areas.
