   <abstract>
    <p>Hyperspectral images offer a good separability among land cover classes, owing to their advantages to provide spectral&#13;
bands with narrow wavelength intervals. It is also possible to further increase classification accuracy of hyperspectral images by&#13;
integrating some auxiliary data to classification process. The aim of this study was to increase the classification accuracy of&#13;
AVIRIS (Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer) and ROSIS (Reflective Optics System Imaging Spectrometer)&#13;
hyperspectral data by integrating the Watershed Segmentation (WS)-based texture features to the SVM (Support Vector&#13;
Machines) and RF (Random Forest) classification process. Since the used hyperspectral images contained a high number of&#13;
bands, the PCA (Principal Component Analysis) technique was used to reduce the dimensionality of texture features and avoid&#13;
redundant texture characteristics. It was found that the used procedure increased the RF classification accuracy of the AVIRIS&#13;
and ROSIS data by 13.89% and 23.93%, respectively. It was also concluded that the SVM classification accuracy of the AVIRIS&#13;
and ROSIS data was increased by 18.89% and 30.42%, respectively.  </p>
