Multiple Classifier System for Remote Sensing Image Classification: A Review

Multiple Classifier System for Remote Sensing Image Classification: A Review

Over the last two decades, multiple classifier system (MCS) or classifier ensemble has shown great potential to improve the accuracy and reliability of remote sensing image classification. Although there are lots of literatures covering the MCS approaches, there is a lack of a comprehensive literature review which presents an overall architecture of the basic principles and trends behind the de...

Effective Sequential Classifier Training for Multitemporal Remote Sensing Image Classification

The explosive availability of remote sensing images has challenged supervised classification algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), as training samples tend to be highly limited due to the expensive and laborious task of ground truthing. The temporal correlation and spectral similarity between multitemporal images have opened up an opportunity to alleviate this problem. In this study...

An Adaptive Thr esholding Multiple Classifiers System for Remote Sensing Image Classification

A multiple classifiers system which adopts an effective weighting policy to combine the output of several classifiers, generally leads to a better performance in image classification. The two most commonly used weighting policies are Bagging and Boosting algorithms. However, their performance is limited by high levels of ambiguity among classes. To overcome this difficulty, an adaptive threshol...

Texture Feature Neural Classifier for Remote Sensing Image Retrieval Systems

Texture information is useful for image data browsing and retrieval. The goal of this paper is to present a texture classification system for remote sensing images addressed to the administration of great collections of those images. The proposed classifier is a hybrid system composed by an unsupervised neural network and a supervised one. Starting from a small portion of the image (pattern) th...
