UAV remote sensing information technology has been widely used in surface classification and monitoring.In this study,982 classification sample points from images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles evenly distributed within the study area were extracted.The land cover was classified using the random forest classification model based on the Sentinel-1 (S1) and Sentinel-2 (S2) datasets,vegetation index (VI) dataset estimated from the S2 dataset,and digital elevation model (DEM) dataset.The overall accuracy (OA) of the mapping and Kappa coefficient accuracy (κ) based on the DEM dataset were 74.54% and 61.73%,respectively,while the relevant values for the other four dataset combinations were > 75% and 65%,respectively.In addition,removing the edge sample points (i.e.,mixed pixels) significantly improved the OA and κ of the three datasets with the highest classification accuracy to > 85% and 79%,respectively.This study showed the effective method to distinguish weathered vegetation and bare land by automatic sample point extraction from aerial images.
