Despite the fact that vast portions of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) are covered by wetlands, currently there is no provincial inventory of wetlands in the province. In this study, we analyzed multi-temporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for wetland classification at 4 pilot sites across NL. Object-based image analysis (OBIA) using a segmentation method based on optical data (RapidEye image in this study), and well-adjusted to SAR images, was first compared to pixel-based classification. Next, multi-date object-based wetland maps using the Random Forest classifier were compared to single-date classification. Finally, ratio and textural features were evaluated for wetland classification. The OBIA method demonstrated superior results, and the multi-date classification performed better than single-date classification with accuracies ranging from 75% to 95%. The multi-date results showed that the images acquired in August are the most appropriate for classifying wetlands, while the October images are of less value. Also, covariance matrix is a valuable feature set for wetland mapping. Moreover, ratio and textural features slightly increase the overall accuracy when the initial overall accuracy is relatively low. It can be concluded that multi-date SAR classification, with the proposed segmentation method, shows great potential for mapping wetlands and can be applied throughout the province.
