Abstract

The paper presents preliminary results of legal and illegal settlement extraction in Pulau Gaya, Sabah using high resolution Quickbird and SPOT- 5 multi-spectral imageries using automated house detection techniques. The technique developed is spatial-based using tree counting approach. From the results, edge to edge of the house features was found to be precisely separated and can be delineated between houses that are less than 2m distance. Results show that the technique able to delineate legal houses from Quickbird image more than SPOT-5. Differing results would be due to different spatial and spectral resolutions of images.
