8 Applying linear spectral unmixing approach to the research of land cover change in Karst area : A case in Guanling County of Guizhou Province WAN J un, CAI Yun2long (Department of Resources Environment and Geography, Geographic Science Research Center, The Center for Land Study, Peking University ; Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes, The Ministry of Education ; Beijing , China) Abstract : Vegetation and bare soil are t he main land cover types in Karst and non2karst area1bare rock anot her land cover type only appearing in Karst area,is dist ributed extensively1 There are a variety of met hods to detect land cover in Karst area wit h remotely sensed im2 ageries1 But most ordinary remotely sensed approaches can t get the three attributes at the same time1 In fact,they almost can do nothing in detecting the quantitative result of rock deser2 tification1 The linear spectral unmixing approach,based on the linear mixture model can esti2 mate vegetation cover, bare soil and bare rock abundance at the sub2pixel scale1 It s fit for studying land cover in Karst area because of the obtained quantitative unmixing results of vege2 tation cover, bare soil, bare rock and other types1 In the case study of this paper, four end2 members were identified from two TM images of six bands taken on 17th February 1987 and 27th November 1999 respectively1 They represent four land cover types : vegetation, bare soil, rock and shadow1 The abundant dist ribution and RMS ( Root Mean Square) dist ribution of t he four land t ypes were derived by linear spect ral unmixing1 The land cover changes could be learned from the multi2time comparison1 During the period from 1987 to 1999, the proportion of bare soil reduced evidently due to the increase of vegetation cover and the improved cultiva2 tion management1 While, t he proportion of rocky desertification enhanced owing to t he little amount of soil in some place1 Bare soil reduced and rock increased mostly in rainfed cropland, grassland and economic woodland1 Over2cultivating and overgrazing are still t he main driving forces of rocky desertification in Karst area1 So people still need to pay attention to water and water soil conservation in economic woodland because economic woodland mainly came from dry land reforest 1 The linear spectral unmixing approach still needs to be improved, though it has been proved fitting for dealing with mixture pixel and detecting quantitative results of land cover by the case study and many other literature1 If endmembers need to be identified from image, it s hard to detect those elements without extraordinary characters presenting in images of different bands1 For example, urban region is just such an element difficult to detect1 So the approach is not the most suitable method for urban region or rapid urbanized area1 And the im2 pact of shadow is still a problem, just as in other methods1 Key words : linear spectral unmixing approach ; land cover changes ; Karst area ; TM image ; Guanling count y
