Please consider ratings after watching full course. Not very early. It has still many things to understand.
Process land use land cover in Erdas by loading a multispectral image, selecting input bands 5, 4, and 3, and verifying urban, agriculture, water, and forest areas with Google Earth.
Remove black pixels from the image to improve visibility during processing. Compute pyramid and statistics to refine the data for land use land cover analysis with GIS tools.

Erdas 2018 has bug That need to be fixed. Updated Video.
Learn when to use supervised, unsupervised, and combined land use and land cover classification methods in GIS to analyze satellite imagery for urban, agriculture land, and barren land areas.
Derive and refine land use signatures for agriculture, urban, water, and other classes by collecting diverse samples from Google Earth imagery, and crosschecking to improve classification accuracy.
Create a folder named signature, save your signature file, and use it to run the land use land cover classification analysis in GIS tools.
Apply unsupervised classification for land use and land cover in GIS using erdas and ArcGIS, noting pixel-based clustering, class iteration, and common accuracy limitations.
Explore a combined unsupervised classification method without a signature file for land use in GIS tools, linking classes to real labels, with iterative processing and relinking to improve accuracy.
Identify water, urban areas, agricultural land, and forest in a land-use map using GIS; apply pixel selection, color coding, and iterative corrections to improve accuracy.
Demonstrate creating a new land-use class in the same file by drawing polygons to convert urban areas to a riverbed, with color-table updates and pixel-level corrections for land-use classification.
Calculate the area of land-use classes in a GIS classified image by using the field calculator in ERDAS/ArcGIS to convert pixel counts to square kilometers based on pixel size.
Create land use maps in ENVI by loading an image, performing supervised classification with training samples, and exporting the labeled land cover results.
Open the classified land-use image in Erdas and create random sample points. Verify each point against the reference and generate an accuracy report showing 94.23 percent.
Apply a statistical median filter to a land use image to remove small errors, overwrite pixels, back up data, compare before and after, and save the enhanced image.
This is the first landuse landcover course on Udemy the most demanding topic in GIS, In this course, I covered from data download to final results. I used ERDAS, ArcGIS, ENVI and MACHINE LEARNING. I explained all the possible methods of land use classification. More then landuse, Pre-Procession of images are covered after download and after classification, how to correct error pixels are also covered, So after learning here you no need to ask anyone about lanudse classification. I explained the theoretical concept also during the processing of data. I have covered supervised, unsupervised, combined method, pixel correction methods etc. I have also shown to correct area-specific pixels to achieve maximum accuracy. Most of this course is focused on Erdas and ArcGIS for image classification and calculations. For in-depth of all methods enrol in this course. Image classification with Machine learning also covered in this course.
This course also includes an accuracy assessment report generation in erdas.
Note: Each Land Use method Section covers different Method from the beginning, So before starting landuse watch the entire course. Then start land use with a method that you think easy for you and best fit for your study area., then you will be able to it best. Different method is applicable to a different type of study area. This course is applicable to Erdas Version 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018. and ArcGIS Version 10.1 and above, i.e 10.4, 10.7 or 10.8
90% practical 10% theory
Problem faced During classification:
Some of us faced problem during classification as:
Urban area and barren land has the same signature
Dry river reflect the same signature as an urban area and barren land
if you try to correct urban and get an error in barren
In Hilly area you cannot classify forest which is in the hill shade area.
Add new class after final work
