Classification of Remote Sensing Data

Classification of Remote Sensing Data

Classification is one the classical remote sensing applications used for land cover mapping and monitoring. We used single or multi-sensor remote sensing data for land cover classification and mojor tasks include but not limited to;

  • Land cover classification for map generation
  • Discrimationing different ground targets
  • Object based image segmentation

Methods

  • Supervised classification (SVM, Random forest, Decision tree, Extreemly randomized tree, etc)
  • Unsupervised classification (K-mean and the ISODATA clustering algorithm)
  • Hybried methods

Tools

Python, IDL, C/C++, Matlab, R, ArcPy, machine learning libraries
