Introduction
The Laboratory for Remote Sensing Hydrology and Spatial Modeling at the Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan University (RSLAB) focuses its research works on three inter-related fields: hydrologic processes, environmental remote sensing, and spatial modeling. Almost all hydrologic and environmental processes exhibit heterogeneity and random variations in temporal and spatial domains. These processes often involve multi-scale phenomena, and thus stochastic modeling and simulation, in addition to fundamental physical principles, plays an essential role in modeling these complex processes. At RSLAB, we dedicate our research efforts to stochastic modeling of hydrological and environmental processes using field measurements and remote sensing images. Stochastic modeling and simulation enables us not only to monitor and/or forecast hydrological and environmental changes but also assess the risks and impacts of such changes.

Assessing Uncertainty in LULC Classification Accuracy by Using Bootstrap Resampling Remote Sensing, 2016. L.H. Hsiao and K.S. Cheng.
Supervised land-use/land-cover (LULC) classifications are typically conducted using class assignment rules derived from a set of multiclass training samples. Consequently, classification accuracy varies with the training data set and is thus associated with uncertainty. In this study,we propose a bootstrap resampling and reclassification approach that can be applied for assessing not only the uncertainty in classification results of the bootstrap-training data sets, but also the classification uncertainty of individual pixels in the study area. Two measures of pixel-specific classification uncertainty, namely the maximum class probability and Shannon entropy, were derived from the class probability vector of individual pixels and used for the identification of unclassifiedpixels. Unclassified pixels that are identified using the traditional chi-square threshold technique represent outliers of individual LULC classes, but they are not necessarily associated with higher classification uncertainty. By contrast, unclassified pixels identified using the equal-likelihood technique are associated with higher classification uncertainty and they mostly occur on or near the borders of different land-cover.
