Land Cover Classification Based on General Type-2 Fuzzy Classifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a fuzzy classifier based on type-2 fuzzy sets to be applied in land cover classification. The classifier is built on the basis of the available data and considers the merging of information drawn from different experts. The data regard a thematic mapper representing the land cover of a real plain cultivated area. The experts are represented by different bands which classify the spectral sensor information. The new proposed method to design the classifier as well as the use of general type-2 fuzzy sets allows the modeling of input-output relations and minimizes the effects of uncertainties in the usual fuzzy rule-based classifiers. The experiments carried out attest to the efficiency of the proposed general type-2 fuzzy classifier.

Urban fringe is the transition zone fine grained with urban and non-urban land cover types. The complex landscape mosaic in this area challenges the land cover classification based on the remote-sensing data. Spectral signatures are not efficient to discriminate all pixels into classes. To improve the recognition and handle the uncertainty, this paper provides a novel integrated approach, based...

Numerous applications make use of data on land use and land cover (LULC). Given their importance and use, land cover data is assumed to be readily available or trivially acquired for a given landscape. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. LULC data at hand are often out-of-date, inappropriate for a particular application [1], or contain other difficulties. Thematic mapping of remotely sen...
