Accurately obtaining the land use and land cover information has been a hot research focus in the field of remote sensing. It is a feasible way to utilize the new remote sensing data source and the effective classification algorithms. In this study, five decision tree classifiers and the MISR multi-angle data have been implemented to study the land cover classification in the lower Tarim River. Six datasets of different bands and observation angles are classified and compared, and the findings are presented as follows: (1) Compared to the Nadir angle observation, the multi-angle observation can achieve higher classification accuracy and significantly improve the classification accuracy of the shrubs, woodland and grassland in particular. It showed that the multi-angle observation can effectively reveal the anisotropic feature of surface reflectance and get a better classification result. (2) Compared with the MLC method, the classification accuracy of the decision tree algorithms is higher, which is especially evident for the random forest and C5.0 methods, implying that the classification ability of decision tree is better than MLC and is more effective when using multi-angle datasets. (3) The classification effect of near infrared band is better than the red band, which indicates that the near infrared band can provide more information about the anisotropic feature of the surface reflectance.
