چکیده

Two major challenging issues arise in unsupervised classification. One is how to generate desired knowledge directly from the data in an unsupervised manner. The other is how to find an appropriate follow-up classifier to use the obtained unsupervised knowledge to perform supervised classification. This paper presents a new approach to unsupervised classification for multispectral imagery. To address the first issue the pixel purity index (PPI) which is commonly used in hyperspeftral imaging for endmember extraction is used to find a good set of initial training samples without prior knowledge. To address the second issue the PPI-found samples are then used as training samples for a support vector machine to find a good set of training samples for a follow-up supervised classifier, Fisher’s linear discriminate analysis (FLDA) which performs classification iteratively to produce final results. The experimental results show the proposed approach has great promise in unsupervised classification.

Self-organizing Map for Clustering of Remote Sensing Imagery

We present a neural unsupervised pattern recognition approach for two applications related to significant topics of Earth Observation (EO) imagery: (a) EO image region classification; (b) multispectral pixel classification. The proposed model is based on the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) clustering, which is compared to two benchmark unsupervised classifiers: k-means and fuzzy c-means. We propose t...

Remotely Sensed LANDSAT Image Classification Using Neural Network Approaches

In paper, LANDSAT multispectral image is classified using several unsupervised and supervised techniques. Pixel-by-pixel classification approaches proved to be infeasible as well as time consuming in case of multispectral images. To overcome this, instead of classifying each pixel, feature based classification approach is used. Three supervised techniques namely, k-NN, BPNN and PCNN are investi...
