Novel approach of association rule mining for tree canopy assessment

Abstract

The evolution of technology and availability of voluminous satellite images are bringing a new scenario in satellite image classification where a performance efficient method for predictive analysis of satellite images for land cover classification needs to be devised. As urban areas are growing at faster rate, special attention needs to be given to solve tree canopy assessment problem. Vegetation indices are calculated from spectral information of satellite images. Hundreds of such vegetation indices are available to detect vegetation from a satellite image. The contribution of this paper is designing an improved Apriori algorithm to select optimal number of vegetation indices for tree canopy assessment. In this research, we propose a novel computational approach that allows the improvement of results. It selects optimal combination of vegetation indices and applies principal component analysis on it. It uses a greedy approach based on Apriori algorithm. This study emphasizes on assessment of tree canopy using GPU-enabled environment for performance-efficient assessment. The results achieved, are comparable to state-of-the-art techniques, with an accuracy of 96%. The research has considered 4 years data for Mumbai city of India. This research is useful for Green India Mission of India to assess tree canopy of urban region.

MAPATON 2023: implementing a tool for the analysis of forest fire zones in Arequipa

“…The preprocessing of images was carried out on the GEE platform before downloading them. The type of preprocessing applied to the images depends on the intended use of the images after processing e.g., in [41], a preprocessing model with masks was developed for identifying buildings. In this case, the preprocessing phase focused on applying masks for clouds and the atmosphere.…”

Knowledge discovery in manufacturing datasets using data mining techniques to improve business performance

“…Apriori algorithm is one of the association rule mining algorithms that use the accuracy to determine the appropriate number of indices, it's used to discover the frequent itemset, this algorithm is easy and suitable to find the association rules and relations among the given dataset items [26]. The techniques of association rules are used to extract the hidden relations of the data and discover the rules among those items [18].…”

Multimode system condition monitoring using sparsity reconstruction for quality control

“…The most well-known statistical tool is principal component analysis (PCA) [3]. It provides robustness [4] in terms of extracting the relevant variation from the data, defining a set of principal components (PCs) consisting of a linear combination of the original variables. The scope of the PCA method is wide, from dimensional reduction to noise reduction and suppression, including data compression and defect detection.…”
