Abstract

As a management tool, fences used in grasslands around the world are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and the impact on wild species and ecosystems has attracted global attention. However, lacking of large scale accurate fence mapping data has become a limitation of monitoring the influence of fence on ecosystems. In this study, a method is proposed to identify fences based on fused high spatiotemporal resolution remote sensing data in Xilingol grassland, China. The study results indicate that fences as boundaries of adjacent pastures that could be mapped using the fused data by principal component analysis (PCA) feature extraction, multiresolution segmentation and cell edges removal. Tests in our study area for this method showed an overall accuracy of 81.75%, outperformed the single NDVI used result (65.95%).
