<![CDATA[Abstract. Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS) is a Japanese satellite equipped with 3 sensors i.e., PRISM, AVNIR, and PALSAR. The Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer (AVNIR) provides multi spectral sensors ranging from Visible to Near Infrared to observe land and coastal zones. It has 10 meter spatial resolution, which can be used to map land cover with a scale of 1:25000. The purpose of this research was to determineclassification for land cover mapping using ALOS AVNIR data. Training samples were collected for 11 land cover classes from Bromo volcano by visually referring to very high resolution data of IKONOS panchromatic data. The training samples were divided into samples for classification input and samples for accuracy evaluation. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted for AVNIR data, and the generated PCA bands were classified using Maximum Likehood Enhanced Neighbor method. The classification result was filtered and re-classed into 8 classes. Misclassifications were evaluated and corrected in the post processing stage. The accuracy of classifications results, before and after post processing, were evaluated using confusion matrix method. The result showed that Maximum Likelihood Enhanced Neighbor classifier with post processing can produce land cover classification result of AVNIR data with good accuracy (total accuracy 94% and kappa statistic 0.92). ALOS AVNIR has been proven as a potential satellite data to map land cover in the study area with good accuracy.]]>
