Figure 12: Classification (roof planes)
Fig. 11 and 12 show the results for the classification based
on the eCognition segmentation and our segmentation re-
spectively. The subset is also shown in Fig. 8 for com-
parision. The roof of the surrounding hallway of building
30.21 (upper right corner) is made of zinc, but classified as
slate. This seems to be due to the resolution of the hyper-
spectral data, because the width of the hallway is approxi-
mately 2 m, thus only half the original pixel size. For the
examples above, the hyperspectral data was resampled us-
ing nearest-neighbour interpolation. We will address this
point also in the next section.
S RESULTS
In this section we will present and discuss results of our
approach. For this purpose we will focus on the central
campus area (white line in Fig. 2), because for this area
some reference data already exists, namely a database of
buildings with information about their roof materials.
Fig. 13 displays the result of surface material classification
based on the segmentation by eCognition. For the classi-
fication we used hyperspectral data resampled to 1 m us-
ing nearest-neighbour interpolation. We furthermore used
first and last pulse laser scanning data. First pulse data in-
cludes more details, last pulse data already generalizes the
result, because smaller details are not included. The shown
roof segments represent those, which are also included in
the last pulse data. The membership values of the classes
gravel, stone, and slate are computed using the fuzzy or
(max). A visual check of the results indicates that the clas-
sification delivered reasonable results. Problems arise at
