Multi-Temporal Image Analysis For Lulc Classification And Change Detection

Land use/Land cover (LULC) plays a vital role in planning and supervising the utilization of the natural resources based on the gradual increase in the human demands in the current ecosystem. This study mainly focuses on the usage of the geographic information system (GIS) and land usage to identify the changes in Ananthapuramu, which is located in the Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh (AP) state, South India. This paper mainly focuses on the classification and identification of the changes in LULC in the period of 1999-2019 based on a survey of India's topographic map and temporal images gathered from the satellite. The experimental results indicate that over the specified period of study, the rate of increment and decrement in the built-up area, rate of underwater bodies, forest bodies that may demonstrate a significant impact on the environmental ecosystem.
