Probabilistic Mangrove Species Mapping with Multiple-Source Remote-Sensing Datasets Using Label Distribution Learning in Xuan Thuy National Park, Vietnam by Junshi Xia, Naoto Yokoya, Tien Dat Pham

“…To alleviate this problem, we propose to use label distribution learning (LDL) to provide the probabilistic mapping of tree species, including <i>Sonneratia caseolaris</i> (SC), <i>Kandelia obovata</i> (KO), <i>Aegiceras corniculatum</i> (AC), <i>Rhizophora stylosa</i> (RS), and <i>Avicennia marina</i> (AM). The experimental results show that the best classification performance was achieved by an integration of Sentinel-2 and Gaofen-3 datasets, demonstrating that full-polarimetric Gaofen-3 data is superior to the dual-polarimetric Sentinel-1 data for mapping mangrove tree species in the tropics.…”
