Remote Sensing Application and Spatial Database Design For Sustainable Management of Coral Reefs in Banda Island, South Maluku, Indonesia

Abstract

Two LANDSAT-7 ETM satellite images of the study area were processed to apply the Bottom Feature Index and perform ISOclass unsupe~ised classification. The images were then mosaicked to create a classified image showing the entire archipelago of Banda Island. The result was a raster image with classified features deviating relatively less from actual measurements of area in Banda Island.
