An Automated Artificial Neural Network System for Land Use/Land Cover Classification from Landsat TM Imagery

This paper focuses on an automated ANN classification system consisting of two modules: an unsupervised Kohonen’s Self-Organizing Mapping (SOM) neural network module, and a supervised Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network module using the Backpropagation (BP) training algorithm. Two training algorithms were provided for the SOM network module: the standard SOM, and a refined SOM learning a...

Optimal Bayesian Classifier for Land Cover Classification Using Landsat TM Data

An optimal Bayesian classifier using mixture distribution class models with joint learning of loss and prior probability functions is proposed for automatic land cover classification. The probability distribution for each land cover class is more realistically modeled as a population of Gaussian mixture densities. A novel two-stage learning algorithm is proposed to learn the Gaussian mixture mo...

Detecting Urban Land-Use and Land-Cover Changes in Mississauga Using Landsat TM Images

The City of Mississauga in Ontario has been experiencing a fast urban growth in the past two decades which has caused rapid loss of the valuable farm and open space land. Land-use and land-cover maps of the City were produced from Landsat TM images for 1985 and 1999, spanning a period of 14 years. Dramatic changes in land use and land cover have occurred, with loss of forest, cropland and water...

Clustering Approach on Land Use Land Cover Classification of Landsat TM Over Ulu Kinta Catchment

Providing accurate land use/ land cover (LULC), as an important component in remote sensing, have been a point of concern which subjected to many studies. Researchers have made great efforts in developing superior classification approaches and techniques which can lead to classification accurateness. This study was sought to investiagte LULC over Ulu Kinta Catchment in multispectral Landsat TM ...
