The accuracy of change detection was iteratively evaluated based on thresholds composed of mean and a range constant of standard deviation. Four datasets were examined for post-classification change analysis including the dual polarimetric backscatter as the benchmark and its augmented data with indices, entropy alpha decomposition and selected texture features. Variable importance was then evaluated to build a best subset model employing seven classifiers, including Bagged Classification and Regression Tree (CAB), Extreme Learning Machine Neural Network (ENN), Bagged Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MAB), Regularised Random Forest (RFG), Original Random Forest (RFO), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Extreme Gradient Boosting Tree (XGB). The best accuracy was 98.8%, which resulted from thresholding MAD variate-2 with constants at 1.7. The highest improvement of classification accuracy was obtained by amending the grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture. The identification of variable importance (VI) confirmed that selected GLCM textures (mean and variance of HH or HV) were equally superior, while the contribution of index and decomposition were negligible. The best model produced similar classification accuracy at about 90% for both years 2007 and 2010. Tree-based algorithms including RFO, RFG and XGB were more robust than SVM and ENN. Subtle changes indicated by binary change analysis were somewhat hidden in post-classification analysis. Reclassification by combining all important variables and adding five classes to include subtle changes assisted by Google Earth yielded an accuracy of 82%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11010100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]],"date-time":"2019-01-09T03:06:06Z","timestamp":1547003166000},"page":"100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Combining Binary and Post-Classification Change Analysis of Augmented ALOS Backscatter for Identifying Subtle Land Cover Changes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Dyah R.","family":"Panuju","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences, UNSW Canberra, Northcott Drive, Campbell, ACT 2600, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Soil Science and Land Resource, Bogor Agricultural University, Jalan Meranti, Kampus IPB Darmaga, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}]},{"given":"David J.","family":"Paull","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences, UNSW Canberra, Northcott Drive, Campbell, ACT 2600, Australia"}]},{"given":"Bambang H.","family":"Trisasongko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences, UNSW Canberra, Northcott Drive, Campbell, ACT 2600, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Soil Science and Land Resource, Bogor Agricultural University, Jalan Meranti, Kampus IPB Darmaga, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"92","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2011.06.027","article-title":"Monitoring gradual ecosystem change using Landsat time series analyses: Case studies in selected forest and rangeland ecosystems","volume":"122","author":"Vogelmann","year":"2012","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
