Abstract:

[Objective] Convolutional neural networks were applied to the classification of high-resolution remote sensing images and compared with traditional classification methods to assess the classification accuracy and applicability of different classification methods for high-resolution remote image sensing. [Methods] The convolutional neural network classification method was compared with four commonly used traditional ENVI classification methods: maximum likelihood, parallelepiped, K-means mean clustering, and traditional neural network approaches. The confusion results were examined to evaluate the effectiveness of the different classification methods. [Results] Among the four traditional ENVI classification methods, the classification accuracy of the traditional neural network and maximum likelihood methods was relatively good, the classification accuracy of k-means mean clustering and parallelepiped methods was relatively poor, and the convolutional neural networks method achieved higher classification accuracy. [Conclusion] Convolutional neural networks can extract feature information in high-resolution remote sensing image classification, improving the classification accuracy of remote image sensing.
