“…Many techniques are available for the analysis, estimation, modeling, and classification of LU/LC and urban growth (S. Gupta et al, 2018), i.e. band combination (Tuzcu et al, 2019), supervised (Saini et al, 2019), unsupervised (Fang et al, 2022), machine learning (Talukdar et al, 2020), index-based (Jothimani et al, 2022), visual interpretation (Kumari et al, 2020), decision tree classifications (Fang et al, 2022) etc. Among all these, the combination of remotely sensed very high-resolution satellite data (VHRS) and the visual interpretation technique have been found to be the most suitable for the current study.…”
