Land-use maps are widely used in many fields, especially in agriculture, soil management, urban
planning, environmental research. In especial, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide advantages in
land-use mapping in terms of low mapping costs, obtaining images at the desired time and period, and
providing images with high spatial resolution. This study aims to produce a land-use map with the
orthophoto obtained from the SenseFly eBeeX UAV images and the object-based Support Vector
Machine (SVM) classifier. Firstly, the orthophoto image was segmented with multiresolution
segmentation. Then, the segments were classified using object-based SVM and seven land-use classes.
According to a result of the accuracy analysis, the overall classification accuracy of the thematic image
was calculated at 98.10%. In addition, kappa values, quantity, and allocation disagreement/agreement components supported this result. The results showed that a land-use map can be obtained with high accuracy from the orthophoto produced with the SenseFly eBeeX UAV.
