This paper reviews the comparative performance of Support Vector Machine (SVM) using four different kernels, i.e., Linear, Polynomial, Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Sigmoid. Overall accuracy (OA), Kappa Index Analysis (KIA), Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and Precision (P) have been considered as evaluation parameters in order to assess the predictive accuracy of SVM. Both high resolution...
Positive and unlabeled learning (PUL) algorithm, an one-class classifier which is trained by positive samples and unlabeled samples, has been used in remote sensing classification. However, the effect of training strategy of PUL has not been investigated. This study tested the performances of PUL-SVM on cropland mapping by Landsat TM data using the training samples with different sizes and different...
The performance of pattern classifiers depends on the separability of the classes in the feature space — a property related to the quality of the descriptors — and the choice of informative training samples for user labeling — a procedure that usually requires active learning. This work is devoted to improve the quality of the descriptors when samples are superpixels from remote sensing images. We...
Post-Classification Comparison(PCC) method is widely used in change detection for remote sensing images, but it is affected by a significant cumulative error caused by single remote sensing image classification during change detection, which leads to the excessive evaluation of changed types and quantity. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a change detection method for remote sensing images...
Flood is the most frequent disaster in the world, which can do harm to agriculture and threat to food security. Using kernel based supervised classifier to execute change detection for multi-temporal remote sensing data is a common method for flood disaster monitoring and assessment, and kernel Fisher's discrimination analysis (KFDA) is one of them. Choosing training sample by visual interpretation...
Study of the land cover classification using multi-source data are very important for eco-environment monitoring, land use planning and climatic change detection. In this study, the utility of multi-source RADARSAT-2 and LANDSAT-8 multi-spectral images for improving land cover classification performance using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. HH polarized C band RADARSAT-2 images were fused...
This paper describes, and illustrates using documented applications, a general framework methodology for wide-area forest and land use mapping and change detection using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing. Consideration is given to implementation of the SAR-based methodology using both commercial and free/open-source software. Our experience shows that constructing a complete processing...
There is a need for rapid response during disasters. However, there is a paucity of training data which leads to classification models that do not generalize well. If the pre disaster data is used to augment the training data, the models perform poorly due to statistical distribution differences between pre and post disaster conditions. Also, it is challenging to analyze large areas for identifying...
With the widely application of high-resolution remote sensing images, its classification has attracted a lot of attention. Most classification methods focus on various combination of features and ignore the similarities between different categories. In this paper we present a modification by combining ScSPM [1] with a dictionary learning method DL-COPAR [2], which separates the particularity and commonality...
A heuristic utilizing both spectral and spatial information is proposed for active learning. It addresses the issue of iteratively querying most informative training samples with a special focus on spatial-contextual image classification. With the aim to utilize all information during the learning process, the proposed heuristic queries unlabeled pixels considering spectral-spatial inconsistency (SSI),...
In this work, we propose a new multiple morphological component analysis (MMCA) based decomposition framework for remote sensing image classification. The proposed MMCA framework aims at exploiting relevant textural characteristics present in a scene such as content, coarseness, contrast or directionality. Specifically, MMCA decomposes an image into a pair of morphological components (for each textural...
Remote sensing has much to gain from citizen sensing. This is particularly evident in relation to the provision of ground reference data for use in the training and testing stages of supervised image classification analyses used to generate thematic maps from remotely sensed data. Citizens are able to provide data over large geographical areas inexpensively, addressing potential problems connected...
Each year, numerous disasters cause high amount of human and material losses. With the presence of both technological and social means like very high spatial resolution (VHR) satellite images and the International Charter “Space and Major Disasters” respectively, decision makers can obtain the needed information to make fast life-saving decisions. The automation of parts of the image analysis process...
In this paper, we propose a novel deep convex network method for domain adaptation in multitemporal remote sensing imagery. We fuse the capabilities of the extreme learning machine (ELM) classifier and local feature descriptor techniques to boost the classification accuracy. We use the Affine Scale Invariant Feature Transform (ASIFT) to extract the key points from the image pair, i.e. source and target...
In this paper we propose a new methodology to automatically generate retrospective high resolution land cover maps on a regular basis for the whole territory of Ukraine. An ensemble of neural networks, in particular multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), is used for multi-temporal Landsat-4/5/7 satellites imagery classification with previously restored missing data due to clouds, shadows and non-regular coverage...
In the present paper, efficiency and competence of an ensemble method is explored in the context of large number of available spectral information. Classification results of ensemble method are compared with the results generated by a single classifier utilizing all spectral channels. In the present study, an ensemble committee is constructed by distributing spectral channels among five members of...
This paper addresses the problem of parameter optimization for Markov random field (MRF) models for supervised classification of remote sensing images. MRF model parameters generally impact on classification accuracy, and their automatic optimization is still an open issue especially in the supervised case. The proposed approach combines a mean square error (MSE) formulation with Platt's sequential...
In this paper, we propose a novel spectral-spatial conditional random field classification algorithm with location cues (CRFSS) for high spatial resolution remote sensing imagery. In the CRFSS algorithm, the spectral and spatial location cues are integrated to provide the complementary information from spectral and spatial location perspectives. The spectral cues of different land-cover types are...
In remote sensing, where training data are typically ground-based, mislabeled training data is inevitable. This work handles the mislabeling problem by exploiting the ensemble margin for identifying, then eliminating or correcting the mislabeled training data. The effectiveness of our class noise removal and correction methods is demonstrated in performing mapping of land covers. A comparative analysis...
The quality of the training data used in a supervised image classification can impact on the accuracy of the resulting thematic map obtained. Here the effects of mis-labeled training cases on the accuracy of classifications by discriminant analysis and a support vector machine were explored. The accuracy of both classifiers varied with the amount and nature of mis-labeled training cases. In particular,...
