A New Method of Fuzzy Supervised Classification of High Resolution Remote Sensing Image

This paper presents a supervised image classification method based on fuzzy membership function to solve incorrect classification of high resolution remote sensing image, which caused by highlight detail information, the uncertainly of the pixels classification derived from the increase of the differences between pixels in the homogenous region, the uncertainly of classification decision and so on. First, Gaussian model is used to characterize the uncertainly of the membership of pixels; then the model is extended to build the image fuzzy membership function to define the uncertainly of the homogenous regions. To segment the image, the objective function is built by linear function of neural network, which the fuzzy membership functions and the membership degrees of the original fuzzy membership functions as input values. The proposed method is compared with the classification methods tested on the WorldView-2 panchromatic synthetic and real images. Through the qualitative and quantitative experiments, it can be found that the proposed method has better classification accuracy.
