In remote sensing, vegetation and water areas delineation from satellite image plays a vital role for urban and rural planning. Delineation of vegetation and water area is a challenging task due to mixed pixels and geometric distortion over the boundary region. Geometric distortion arises due to change in velocity and speed of satellite during image acquisition, and mixed pixels arises due to different surfaces in a particular area. Traditional methods apply classifier algorithms such as support vector machine, neural network, and fuzzy for vegetation and water area delineation. The traditional methods require more training dataset and consume more interpretation time for delineation. In this article, we propose transverse dyadic wavelet transform (TDyWT) to delineate vegetation and water area from Landsat 8 images. The TDyWT method enhances the boundary and curvature area of satellite image for accurate delineation. From the experimental results, the proposed TDyWT approach delineates the area of subclass for vegetation and water areas with 95% of accuracy with respect to the ground truth.
