The satellite images were geo-referenced with respect to coordinate system
of toposheet by using image-to-image transformation. Further, the satellite images of the study area were extracted
for the above mentioned years. The seven LU/LC classes considered during classification of images were urban
area, forest area, water body, water logged area, plantation, fallow land and waste land. The classification was done
by using three different methods such as, the Maximum Likelihood algorithm, Minimum Distance to Mean
algorithm and Parallelepiped algorithm (Gao 2009).
