An impervious layer is an important indicator of human activities. Timely and accurate information of impervious layers is of great significance for the protection of the ecological environment. Taking the Yellow River Delta (Dongying City) as the study area, this study explores a novel extraction method of impervious layers by combining the random forest classification with Sentinel-1/2 data. According to comparative experiments, the confusion between dark and light impervious layers and bare soil can be reduced through the combination of the random forest algorithm with surface reflectance characteristics, texture characteristics, and backscatter coefficient, thus effectively improving the estimation accuracy of impervious layers (overall accuracy: 93.37%, Kappa coefficient: 0.925 8). The results of this study reveal that the random forest algorithm combined with Sentinel-1/2 data is a promising approach in the information extraction of impervious layers, which will provide a reference for the remote sensing monitoring of the Yellow River Delta through the integration of multi-source data.
