In Data Mining classification plays prominent role in predicting outcomes. One of the best supervised classification techniques in Data Mining is Naive Bayes Classification. Naive Bayes Classification is good at predicting outcomes and often outperforms other classification techniques. One of the reasons behind the strong performance of Naive Bayes Classification is due to the assumption of conditional...
Support vector machines (SVMs) have been recognized as a potential tool for supervised classification analyses in different domains of research. In essence, SVM is a binary classifier. Therefore, in case of a multiclass problem, the problem is divided into a series of binary problems which are solved by binary classifiers, and finally the classification results are combined following either the one-against-one...
Fabric defect inspection is the pivotal part in the production of textile products. Since manual inspection is tedious and erroneous, automated fabric inspection has been topic of research for past years. Automation of fabric inspection involves two major aspects: defect detection and defect classification. We focused on classifying defects based on geometric features of defects. The features are...
For hyperspectral image classification, feature extraction is a crucial pre-process for avoiding the Hughes phenomena. Some feature extraction methods such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA), nonparametric weighted feature extraction (NWFE), and their kernel versions, generalized discriminant analysis (GDA) and kernel nonparametric weighted feature extraction method (KNWFE) have been shown that...
Band selection is an effective solutions for dimensionality reduction in hyperspectral imagery. In this paper, a novel band weighting and selection method is proposed based on maximizing margin in support vector machine (SVM). The goal is to reduce high dimensionality if hyperspectral data while achieving accuracy classification performance. This method computes the weights of the samples to maximize...
We propose a superpixel-based composite kernel framework for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. Composite kernel methods can utilize both the spectral and the spatial information for the HSI classification. However, setting the optimal spatial neighborhood for different spatial structures is a non-trivial issue. In order to adaptively exploit the spatial contextual information, we utilize superpixel...
Physically-based radiative transfer models (RTMs) help in understanding the processes occurring on the Earth's surface and their interactions with vegetation and atmosphere. However, advanced RTMs can take a long computational time, which makes them unfeasible in many real applications. To overcome this problem, it has been proposed to substitute RTMs through so-called emulators. Emulators are statistical...
Hyperspectral imaging enables detailed ground cover classification with hundreds of spectral bands at each pixel. Rich spectral information can be a drawback since supervised classification of a hyperspectral image requires a balance between the number of training samples and its dimension. Achieving this balance requires a large number of training or ground truth samples, which is generally difficult,...
An efficient and flexible dictionary designing algorithm is proposed for sparse and redundant signal representation. The proposed Augmented Dictionary (AD) is based on a new dictionary model with an augmented form compared to the conventional model. With this model, we can bridge the gap between the classic dictionary learning approaches, which have general structure yet lack computational efficiency,...
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...
Recently, a fast density peak-based clustering algorithm, namely FDPC, has demonstrated its power on nonspherical clustering problems. In this paper, we propose an enhanced fast density peak-based clustering, namely E-FDPC, for hy-perspectral band selection. The main contributions of the proposed E-FDPC, in comparison with the original FDPC are two folds. First, we introduce a parameter to control...
In hyperspectral image analysis, the classification task has generally been discussed with dimensionality reduction due to high correlation and noise between the spectral features, which might cause significantly low classification performance. In supervised classification, limited training samples in proportion to the number of spectral features have also negative impacts on the classification accuracy,...
Hyperspectral image processing has been a very dynamic area in remote sensing and other applications since last decades. Hyperspectral images provide abundant spectral information to identify and distinguish spectrally similar materials. Recent advances in kernel machines promote the novel use of Gaussian processes (GP) for classifying hyper-spectral images. Many sophisticated kernel functions have...
The urban classification of PolSAR images is made difficult by the characteristic of a rotated target to exhibit volume scattering. In this paper we use a deep learning technique in conjunction with some statistical parameters to learn to classify urban areas irrespective of the rotation. The learning algorithm was trained to differentiate urban from non-urban areas and was able to achieve a 8.5834%...
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...
Sequential learning-based pattern classification aims at providing more accurate labeled maps by adding an extra step of classification using an augmented feature vector. In this paper, we evaluated the robustness of Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier in the context of land-cover classification using both satellite and radar images, showing OPF can benefit from sequential learning theoretical basis.
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...
Many research shows that we will encounter the Highes phenomenon when dealing with the high-dimensional data classification problem. In addition, non-linear support vector machine (SVM) has been shown that it can conquer the problem efficiently. However, the SVM is a black-box model based on the whole features and does not provide the feature importance or “good” feature subset for classification...
Multiple kernel learning (MKL) combines multiple base kernels and is becoming more and more popular in machine learning. The choice of kernels is crucial importance for classification performance. In this paper, we propose a new RMKL (RMKBoost) framework for classification in hyperspectral images. The classification is performed in separate two steps. The key boosting strategy is embedded in the first...
