It is a well-known problem of remotely sensed images classification due to its complexity. This paper proposes a remotely sensed image classification method based on weighted complex network clustering using the traditionalK-means clustering algorithm. First, the degree of complex network and clustering coefficient of weighted feature are used to extract the features of the remote sensing image. Then, the integrated features of remote sensing image are combined to be used as the basis of classification. Finally,K-means algorithm is used to classify the remotely sensed images. The advantage of the proposed classification method lies in obtaining better clustering centers. The experimental results show that the proposed method gives an increase of 8% in accuracy compared with the traditionalK-means algorithm and the Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique (ISODATA) algorithm.

Background: Semi-supervised learning in the machine learning community has received widespread attention. Semi-supervised learning can use a small number of tagged samples and a large number of untagged samples for efficient learning. Methods: In 2014, Kim proposed a new semi-supervised learning method: the minimax label propagation (MMLP) method. This method reduces time complexity to O (n), with a smaller computation cost and stronger classification ability than traditional methods. However, classification results are not accurate in large-scale image classifications. Thus, in this paper, we propose a semisupervised image classification method, which is an MMLP-based algorithm. The main idea is threefold: (1) Improving connectivity of image pixels by pixel sampling to reduce the image size, at the same time, reduce the diversity of image characteristics; (2) Using a recall feature to improve the MMLP algorithm; (3) through classification mapping, gaining the classification of the original data from the classification of the data reduction. Results: In the end, our algorithm also gains a minimax path from untagged samples to tagged samples. The experimental results proved that this algorithm is applicable to semi-supervised learning on small-size and that it can also gain better classification results for large-size image at the same time. Conclusion: In our paper, considering the connectivity of the neighboring matrix and the diversity of the characteristics, we used meanshift clustering algorithm, next we will use fuzzy energy clustering on our algorithm. We will study the function of these paths.

Classification based on polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images is an emerging technology, and recent years have seen the introduction of various classification methods that have been proven to be effective to identify typical features of many terrain types. Among the many regions of the study, the Hunshandake Sandy Land in Inner Mongolia, China stands out for its vast area of sandy land, variety of ground objects, and intricate structure, with more irregular characteristics than conventional land cover. Accounting for the particular surface features of the Hunshandake Sandy Land, an unsupervised classification method based on new decomposition and large-scale spectral clustering with superpixels (ND-LSC) is proposed in this study. Firstly, the polarization scattering parameters are extracted through a new decomposition, rather than other decomposition approaches, which gives rise to more accurate feature vector estimate. Secondly, a large-scale spectral clustering is applied as appropriate to meet the massive land and complex terrain. More specifically, this involves a beginning sub-step of superpixels generation via the Adaptive Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (ASLIC) algorithm when the feature vector combined with the spatial coordinate information are employed as input, and subsequently a sub-step of representative points selection as well as bipartite graph formation, followed by the spectral clustering algorithm to complete the classification task. Finally, testing and analysis are conducted on the RADARSAT-2 fully PolSAR dataset acquired over the Hunshandake Sandy Land in 2016. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments compared with several classification methods are conducted to show that proposed method can significantly improve performance on classification.
