The seasonal effect on land cover classification has been widely recognized. It is important to use the imagery acquired at key points of vegetation phenological development to obtain a higher classification accuracy for land cover. This study compared the effect of seasons on landscape classification and the quasi-circular vegetation patches (QVPs) detection from four fused Gaofen 1 images acquired in the different seasons by using the pixel-based random forest (RF) and object-based support vector machine (SVM) methods over the Yellow River Delta, China. The results from this study demonstrated that the seasonal effect on classifying landscapes and detecting the QVPs is significant, especially for the pixel-based RF method. The object-based SVM method was more appropriate for classifying landscape from the non-growing season images, while the pixel-based RF approach was more suitable for classifying the growing-season images. The spring data (April imagery; overall accuracy = 99.8%) and the winter data (February imagery; F measure = 65.9%) yielded the best results for landscape classification and QVP detection, respectively, by using the object-based SVM approach. Therefore, in practice, we recommend the use of February to April imagery with the object-based SVM approach to map the QVPs in the future.
