This paper presents a novel wavelet and support vector machine (SVM) based method for hyperspectral image classification. A 1-D wavelet transform is applied to the pixel spectra, followed by feature extraction and SVM classification. Contrary to the traditional method of using pixel spectra with SVM classifier, our approach not only reduces the dimension of the input pixel feature vector but also improves the classification accuracy. Texture energy features computed in the spectral dimension are mapped using polynomial kernels and used for training the SVM classifier. Results with AVIRIS and other hyperspectral images for land cover and benthic habitat classification are presented. The accuracy of the method with limited training sets and computational burden is assessed.

Land cover mapping of intensive cropping areas facilitates an enhanced regional response to biosecurity threats and to natural disasters such as drought and flooding. Such maps also provide information for natural resource planning and analysis of the temporal and spatial trends in crop distribution and gross production. In this work, 10 meter resolution land cover maps were generated over a 6200 km2 area of the Riverina region in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, with a focus on locating the most important perennial crops in the region. The maps discriminated between 12 classes, including nine perennial crop classes. A satellite image time series (SITS) of freely available Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery was used. A segmentation technique grouped spectrally similar adjacent pixels together, to enable object-based image analysis (OBIA). K-means unsupervised clustering was used to filter training points and classify some map areas, which improved supervised classification of the remaining areas. The support vector machine (SVM) supervised classifier with radial basis function (RBF) kernel gave the best results among several algorithms trialled. The accuracies of maps generated using several combinations of the multispectral and radar bands were compared to assess the relative value of each combination. An object-based post classification refinement step was developed, enabling optimization of the tradeoff between producers’ accuracy and users’ accuracy. Accuracy was assessed against randomly sampled segments, and the final map achieved an overall count-based accuracy of 84.8% and area-weighted accuracy of 90.9%. Producers’ accuracies for the perennial crop classes ranged from 78 to 100%, and users’ accuracies ranged from 63 to 100%. This work develops methods to generate detailed and large-scale maps that accurately discriminate between many perennial crops and can be updated frequently.

In this paper, a novel feature extraction technique called SuperMNF is proposed, which is an extension of the minimum noise fraction (MNF) transformation. In SuperMNF, each superpixel has its own transformation matrix and MNF transformation is performed on each superpixel individually. The basic idea behind the SuperMNF is that each superpixel contains its specific signal and noise covariance matrices which are different from the adjacent superpixels. The extracted features, owning spatial-spectral content and provided in the lower dimension, are classified by maximum likelihood classifier and support vector machines. Experiments that are conducted on two real hyperspectral images, named Indian Pines and Pavia University, demonstrate the efficiency of SuperMNF since it yielded more promising results than some other feature extraction methods (MNF, PCA, SuperPCA, KPCA, and MMP).

Abstract. A novel classification technique based on definition of unique spectral relations (such as slopes among spectral bands) for all land cover types named (SSF Significant Spectral Features) is presented in the article.A large slopes combination between spectral band pairs is calculated and spectral characterizations that emphasizes the best spectral land cover separation is sought. Increasing in dimensionality of spectral representations is balanced by the simplicity of calculations. The technique has been examined on data acquired by a flown hyperspectral scanner (AISA). The spectral data was narrowed into the equivalent 8 world-view2 channels. The research area was in the city of “Hadera”, Israel, which included 10 land cover types in an urban area, open area and road infrastructure. The comparison between the developed SSF technique and common techniques such as: SVM (Support Vector Machine) and ML (Maximum Likelihood) has shown a clear advantage over ML technique, while produced similar results as SVM. The poorest results of using SSF technique was achieved in an herbaceous area (70%). However, the simplicity of the method, the well-defined parameters it produces for interpreting the results, makes it intuitive over using techniques such as SVM, which is considered as a not explicit classifier.

AbstractClassification of multispectral optical satellite data using machine learning techniques to derive land use/land cover thematic data is important for many applications. Comparing the latest algorithms, our research aims to determine the best option to classify land use/land cover with special focus on temporary inundated land in a flat area in the south of Hungary. These inundations disrupt agricultural practices and can cause large financial loss. Sentinel 2 data with a high temporal and medium spatial resolution is classified using open source implementations of a random forest, support vector machine and an artificial neural network. Each classification model is applied to the same data set and the results are compared qualitatively and quantitatively. The accuracy of the results is high for all methods and does not show large overall differences. A quantitative spatial comparison demonstrates that the neural network gives the best results, but that all models are strongly influenced by atmospheric disturbances in the image.
