RSOBIA - A new OBIA Toolbar and Toolbox in ArcMap 10.x for Segmentation and Classification

Abstract

A need was therefore seen for OBIA to be integrated into GIS. ESRI’s ArcMap is currently used by millions of people daily worldwide and could benefit from access to OBIA. Easy usage and access is essential. A toolbar for push button control was envisaged and RSOBIA (Remote sensing Object Based Image Analysis) was created. The toolbar is easy to use and requires very little training. For the slightly higher level user a toolbox has also been created, so that the RSOBIA functions can be incorporated into other programming models and allows more complex functions to be created.
