A comparison of multiple classifier combinations using different voting-weights for remote sensing image classification

Remote sensing image classification is a common application of remote sensing images. In order to improve the performance of Remote sensing image classification, multiple classifier combinations are used to classify the Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (Landsat-8 OLI) images. Some techniques and classifier combination algorithms are investigated. The classifier ensemble consisting of five member classifiers is constructed. The results of every member classifier are evaluated. The voting strategy is experimented to combine the classification results of the member classifier. The results show that all the classifiers have different performances and the multiple classifier combination provides better performance than a single classifier, and achieves higher overall accuracy of classification. The experiment shows that the multiple classifier combination using producer’s accuracy as voting-weight (MCC_mod2 and MCC_mod3) present higher classification accuracy than the algorithm using overall accuracy as voting-weight (MCC_mod1).And the multiple classifier combinations using different voting-weights affected the classification result in different land-cover types. The multiple classifier combination algorithm presented in this article using voting-weight based on the accuracy of multiple classifier may have stability problems, which need to be addressed in future studies.     

基于Sentinel-2数据的天山山地针叶林识别方法研究

阴影是影响山地针叶林遥感识别精度的关键因素。选取天山一块面积约为10 000 km²的区域为案例,基于太阳高度角和方位角差异较大的两期Sentinel-2影像,从遥感数据阴影分布的时相特性、分类特征以及分类器选择三方面进行综合分析,提出了一种适用于天山山地针叶林的遥感综合分类方案。该综合分类方案首先开展阴影识别以及阴影再分类以排除阴影对针叶林识别的影响;然后筛选出了海拔、归一化差值植被指数（NDVI）、红光到近红外波段斜率、蓝光波段、红光波段、短波红外波段和坡度作为区分天山山地针叶林的重要特征;最后比较支持向量机（Support Vector Machine,SVM）、随机森林（Random Forest,RF）和BP神经网络（Back Propagation Neural Network,BPNN）3种分类器的分类效果。结果表明：采用地形校正方法来消除山体阴影的效果不但不明显,反而还会造成过矫正现象,从而影响后续的针叶林识别,但利用太阳高度角和方位角差异较大的两期影像开展阴影识别以及阴影再分类来排除阴影对针叶林识别的影响,可使针叶林的总体精度提高1.3%~3.7%;SVM、RF和BPNN 3种分类器都能取得较好的山地针叶林识别精度,但SVM分类器的分类精度最高,其总体分类精度和Kappa系数分别是93.33%和0.87。该遥感综合分类方案经参数调整之后有望应用于北方干旱半干旱区的其他山地针叶林区域。     

Local Classifier Weighting by Quadratic Programming

It has been widely accepted that the classification accuracy can be improved by combining outputs of multiple classifiers. However, how to combine multiple classifiers with various (potentially conflicting) decisions is still an open problem. A rich collection of classifier combination procedures-many of which are heuristic in nature-have been developed for this goal. In this brief, we describe a dynamic approach to combine classifiers that have expertise in different regions of the input space. To this end, we use local classifier accuracy estimates to weight classifier outputs. Specifically, we estimate local recognition accuracies of classifiers near a query sample by utilizing its nearest neighbors, and then use these estimates to find the best weights of classifiers to label the query. The problem is formulated as a convex quadratic optimization problem, which returns optimal nonnegative classifier weights with respect to the chosen objective function, and the weights ensure that locally most accurate classifiers are weighted more heavily for labeling the query sample. Experimental results on several data sets indicate that the proposed weighting scheme outperforms other popular classifier combination schemes, particularly on problems with complex decision boundaries. Hence, the results indicate that local classification-accuracy-based combination techniques are well suited for decision making when the classifiers are trained by focusing on different regions of the input space.     

Per-pixel vs. object-based classification of urban land cover extraction using high spatial resolution imagery

In using traditional digital classification algorithms, a researcher typically encounters serious issues in identifying urban land cover classes employing high resolution data. A normal approach is to use spectral information alone and ignore spatial information and a group of pixels that need to be considered together as an object. We used QuickBird image data over a central region in the city of Phoenix, Arizona to examine if an object-based classifier can accurately identify urban classes. To demonstrate if spectral information alone is practical in urban classification, we used spectra of the selected classes from randomly selected points to examine if they can be effectively discriminated. The overall accuracy based on spectral information alone reached only about 63.33%. We employed five different classification procedures with the object-based paradigm that separates spatially and spectrally similar pixels at different scales. The classifiers to assign land covers to segmented objects used in the study include membership functions and the nearest neighbor classifier. The object-based classifier achieved a high overall accuracy (90.40%), whereas the most commonly used decision rule, namely maximum likelihood classifier, produced a lower overall accuracy (67.60%). This study demonstrates that the object-based classifier is a significantly better approach than the classical per-pixel classifiers. Further, this study reviews application of different parameters for segmentation and classification, combined use of composite and original bands, selection of different scale levels, and choice of classifiers. Strengths and weaknesses of the object-based prototype are presented and we provide suggestions to avoid or minimize uncertainties and limitations associated with the approach.

Accurate crop-type classification using multi-temporal optical and multi-polarization SAR data in an object-based image analysis framework

Accurate crop-type classification is a challenging task due, primarily, to the high within-class spectral variations of individual crops during the growing season (phenological development) and, second, to the high between-class spectral similarity of crop types. Utilizing within-season multi-temporal optical and multi-polarization synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, this study introduces a combined object- and pixel-based image classification methodology for accurate crop-type classification. Particularly, the study investigates the improvement of crop-type classification by using the least number of multi-temporal RapidEye (RE) images and multi-polarization Radarsat-2 (RS-2) data utilized in an object- and pixel-based image analysis framework. The method was tested on a study area in Manitoba, Canada, using three different classifiers including the standard Maximum Likelihood (ML), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF) classifiers. Using only two RE images of July and August, the proposed method results in overall accuracies (OAs) of about 95%, 78%, and 93% for the ML, DT, and RF classifiers, respectively. Moreover, the use of only two quad-pol images of RS-2 of June and September resulted in OAs of 92%, 75%, and 90% for the ML, DT, and RF classifiers, respectively. The best classification results were achieved by the synergistic use of two RE and two RS-2 images. In this case, the overall classification accuracies were 97% for both ML and RF classifiers. In addition, the average producer’s accuracies of 95% and 96% were achieved by the ML and RF classifiers, respectively, whereas the average user accuracy was 94% for both classifiers. The results indicated promising potentials for rapid and cost-effective local-scale crop-type classification using a limited number of high-resolution optical and multi-polarization SAR images. Very accurate classification results can be considered as a replacement for sampling the agricultural fields at the local scale. The result of this very accurate classification at discrete locations (approximately 25 × 25 km frames) can be applied in a separate procedure to increase the accuracy of crop area estimation at the regional to provincial scale by linking these local very accurate spatially discrete results to national wall-to-wall continuous crop classification maps.     

Diversity-based combination of non-parametric classifiers for EMG signal decomposition

Non-parametric classification procedures based on a certainty measure and nearest neighbour rule for motor unit potential classification (MUP) during electromyographic (EMG) signal decomposition were explored. A diversity-based classifier fusion approach is developed and evaluated to achieve improved classification performance. The developed system allows the construction of a set of non-parametric base classifiers and then automatically chooses, from the pool of base classifiers, subsets of classifiers to form candidate classifier ensembles. The system selects the classifier ensemble members by exploiting a diversity measure for selecting classifier teams. The kappa statistic is used as the diversity measure to estimate the level of agreement between base classifier outputs, i.e., to measure the degree of decision similarity between base classifiers. The pool of base classifiers consists of two kinds of classifiers: adaptive certainty-based classifiers (ACCs) and adaptive fuzzy k-NN classifiers (AFNNCs) and both utilize different types of features. Once the patterns are assigned to their classes, by the classifier fusion system, firing pattern consistency statistics for each class are calculated to detect classification errors in an adaptive fashion. Performance of the developed system was evaluated using real and simulated EMG signals and was compared with the performance of the constituent base classifiers and the performance of the fixed ensemble containing the full set of base classifiers. Across the EMG signal data sets used, the diversity-based classifier fusion approach had better average classification performance overall, especially in terms of reducing classification errors.     

多种分类器融合的遥感影像分类

在遥感影像分类应用中,不同分类器的分类精度是不同的,而同一分类器对不同类别的分类精度也是不相同的。多分类器结合的思想就是利用现有分类器之间的互补性,通过适当的方法将不同的分类器之间进行优势互补,往往可以得到比单个分类器更好的分类结果。本文研究了如何在Matlab下采用最短距离分类器、贝叶斯分类器、BP神经网络分类器对影像进行分类,并采用投票法进行多种分类器结合的遥感影像分类,最后进行分类后处理。实验结果表明多分类器结合的遥感影像分类比单一分类器分类的精度高。
