As such, the efficient classification of coastal wetland vegetation types is key to the preservation of wetlands. Based on its detailed spatial information, high spatial resolution imagery constitutes an important tool for extracting suitable texture features for improving the accuracy of classification. In this paper, a texture feature, Completed Local Binary Patterns (CLBP), which is highly suitable for face recognition, is presented and applied to vegetation classification using high spatial resolution Pl\u00e9iades satellite imagery in the central zone of Yancheng National Natural Reservation (YNNR) in Jiangsu, China. To demonstrate the potential of CLBP texture features, Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) texture features were used to compare the classification. Using spectral data alone and spectral data combined with texture features, the image was classified using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on vegetation types. The results show that CLBP and GLCM texture features yielded an accuracy 6.50% higher than that gained when using only spectral information for vegetation classification. However, CLBP showed greater improvement in terms of classification accuracy than GLCM for Spartina alterniflora. Furthermore, for the CLBP features, CLBP_magnitude (CLBP_m) was more effective than CLBP_sign (CLBP_s), CLBP_center (CLBP_c), and CLBP_s\/m or CLBP_s\/m\/c. These findings suggest that the CLBP approach offers potential for vegetation classification in high spatial resolution images.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10050778","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,17]],"date-time":"2018-05-17T11:47:45Z","timestamp":1526557665000},"page":"778","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Assessing Texture Features to Classify Coastal Wetland Vegetation from High Spatial Resolution Imagery Using Completed Local Binary Patterns (CLBP)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Minye","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Marine Information, HuaiHai Institute of Technology, Lianyungang 222002, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2629-652X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xianyun","family":"Fei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Marine Information, HuaiHai Institute of Technology, Lianyungang 222002, China"}]},{"given":"Yuanzhi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Astronomical Observatories, Key Lab of Lunar Science and Deep-space Exploration, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Zhou","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Marine Information, HuaiHai Institute of Technology, Lianyungang 222002, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaoxue","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Marine Information, HuaiHai Institute of Technology, Lianyungang 222002, China"}]},{"given":"Jin Yeu","family":"Tsou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Housing Innovations, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong, China"}]},{"given":"Dawei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Astronomical Observatories, Key Lab of Lunar Science and Deep-space Exploration, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Xia","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Marine Information, HuaiHai Institute of Technology, Lianyungang 222002, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.2307\/1941811","article-title":"Northern peatlands: Role in the carbon cycle and probable responses to climatic warming","volume":"1","author":"Gorham","year":"1991","journal-title":"Ecol.
