Abstract: To solve the problem that the backscattering coefficient is difficult to complete the high-precision wetland classification, this paper takes 16 VH Sentinel-1A images as the data source, and constructs a classification method combining time series coherence and backscattering coefficient. By analyzing the long time series backscattering coefficient and coherence, the backscattering coefficients map in three times (June 27 (R), November 18 (G) and November 30 (B)) that Spartina alterniflora is easily confused with other ground objects are selected as the synthetic data sources. Then the coherence map from November 18 to November 30 is introduced to replace the backscattering coefficients map in November 18. SVM and RF classifier are used to explore the accuracy variation before and after introducing coherence in the Yellow River Delta wetlands. The results show that the overall accuracy of classification results by SVM and RF improves by 3.07% and 3.85%, and the accuracy of Spartina alterniflora improves by 9.39% and 11.42%.
