Potentiality of using digital Wavelet/QMF pyramids in remotely sensed satellites’ images classification
Abstract
Wavelet or quadrature mirror filter (QMF) satellites’ images are not commonly used in classification because of the modification in spectral responses that may confuse any classifier. Boundary pixels are hardly classified correctly in pixel-based classification especially in medium and coarse resolution. In such case, the sudden change in landcover is not measurable by the classifiers because the pixel may contain mor than one class. This research work is a trial to investigate the proper enhancement in accuracy that may occur by using wavelet/QMF bands’ pyramids are in classification instead of the original image bands. The reference map is prepared traditionally to measure the performance of the new system. The Wavelet/QMF image is constructed for each band of the satellite image. Then the classification is carried out for both the Wavelet/QMF image pyramid and the original satellite image using competitive learning neural networks (CLNN) method. The evaluation is carried out by comparing the classified Wavelet/QMF image with the classified original image. A statistical test is carried out to study the significance of using the classified Wavelet/ QMF image in classification.
