In this paper, a proposed ensemble classification for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data using a global-local classification approach is presented. In the first step, to perform the global classification, the training feature space is divided into a specified number of clusters. In the next step to carry out the local classification over each of these clusters, which cont...

fuzzy rule-based classification systems (frbcs) are highly investigated by researchers due to their noise-stability and  interpretability. unfortunately, generating a rule-base which is sufficiently both accurate and interpretable, is a hard process. rule weighting is one of the approaches to improve the accuracy of a pre-generated rule-base without modifying the original rules. most of the pro...
