Greenhouse detection using remote sensing technologies is an important research area for yield estimation, sustainable development, urban and rural planning and management. An approach was developed in this study for the detection and delineation of greenhouse areas from high resolution satellite imagery. Initially, the candidate greenhouse patches were detected using supervised classification techniques. For this purpose, Maximum Likelihood (ML), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classification techniques were applied and compared. Then, sieve filter and morphological operations were performed for improving the classification results. Finally, the obtained candidate plastic and glass greenhouse areas were delineated using boundary tracing and Douglas Peucker line simplification algorithms. The proposed approach was implemented in the Kumluca district of Antalya, Turkey utilizing pan-sharpened WorldView-2 satellite imageries. Kumluca is the prominent district of Antalya with greenhouse cultivation and includes both plastic and glass greenhouses intensively. When the greenhouse classification results were analysed, it can be stated that the SVM classification provides most accurate results and RF classification follows this. The SVM classification overall accuracy was obtained as 90.28%. When the greenhouse boundary delineation results were considered, the plastic greenhouses were delineated with 92.11% accuracy, while glass greenhouses were delineated with 80.67% accuracy. The obtained results indicate that, generally plastic and glass greenhouses can be detected and delineated successfully from WorldView-2 satellite imagery.

Document image segmentation is an important research area of document image analysis which classifies the contents of a document image into a set of text and non-text classes. Previous existing methods are often designed to classify text and halftone therefore they perform poorly in classifying graphics, tables and circuit, etc. In this paper, we present a robust multi-level classification method using multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and support vector machine (SVM) to segment the texts from non-texts and thereafter classify them as tables, graphics and halftones. This method outperforms previously existing methods by overcoming various issues associated with the complexity of document images. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of our proposed method. By virtue of our multi-level classification approach, the text components, halftone components, graphic components and table components are accurately classified respectively which would highly improve OCR accuracy to reduce garbage symbols as well as increase compression ratio thereafter simultaneously.

With the constantly increasing public availability of high resolution satellite imagery, interest in automatic road extraction from this imagery has recently increased. Road extraction from high resolution satellite imagery refers to reliable road surface extraction instead of road line extraction because roads in the imagery mostly correspond to an elongated region with a locally constant spectral signature rather than traditional thin lines. This paper proposes a novel automatic road extraction approach that is based on a combination of image segmentation and one-class classification and consists of two main steps. First, the image is segmented using a modified previous segmentation algorithm to achieve more reliable segmentation for road extraction. The key road objects are then automatically extracted from the segmented image to obtain road training samples. Then one-class classification, based on a support vector data description classifier, is carried out to extract the road surface area from the image. The experimental results from a pan-sharpened KOMPSAT-2 satellite image demonstrate the correctness and efficiency of the proposed method for its application to road extraction from high resolution satellite image.

Information security is an important research area. As a very special yet important case, malware classification plays an important role in information security. In the real world, the malware datasets are open-ended and dynamic, and new malware samples belonging to old classes and new classes are increasing continuously. This requires the malware classification method to enable incremental learning, which can efficiently learn the new knowledge. However, existing works mainly focus on feature engineering with machine learning as a tool. To solve the problem, we present an incremental malware classification framework, named “IMC,” which consists of opcode sequence extraction, selection, and incremental learning method. We develop an incremental learning method based on multiclass support vector machine (SVM) as the core component of IMC, named “IMCSVM,” which can incrementally improve its classification ability by learning new malware samples. In IMC, IMCSVM adds the new classification planes (if new samples belong to a new class) and updates all old classification planes for new malware samples. As a result, IMC can improve the classification quality of known malware classes by minimizing the prediction error and transfer the old model with known knowledge to classify unknown malware classes. We apply the incremental learning method into malware classification, and the experimental results demonstrate the advantages and effectiveness of IMC.

The segmentation and detection of brain pathologies in medical images is an indispensible step. This helps the radiologist to diagnose a variety of brain deformity and helps in the set up for a suitable treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a significant character in the research area of neuroscience. The proposed work is a study and probing of different classification techniques used for automated detection and segmentation of brain tumor from MRI in the field of machine learning. This paper try to present the feature extraction from raw MRI and fed the same to four classifier named as, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This mechanism was done in various stages for Computer Aided Detection System. In the preliminary stage the pre-processing and post-processing of MR image enhancement is done. This was done as the processed image is more likely suitable for the analysis. Then the k-means clustering is used to sectioning the MRI by applied mean gray level method. In the subsequent stage, statistical feature analysis were done, the features were computed using Haralick’s equation for feature based on the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. Feature chosen dependent on tumor region, location, periphery, and color from the sectioned image is then classified by applying the classification techniques. In the third stage SVM, DT, ANN, and KNN classifiers were used for diagnoses. The performances of the classifiers are tested and evaluated successfully.

Mangrove forests, which are essential for stabilizing coastal ecosystems, have been suffering from a dramatic decline over the past several decades. Mapping mangrove forests using satellite imagery is an efficient way to provide key data for mangrove forest conservation. Since mangrove forests are periodically submerged by tides, current methods of mapping mangrove forests, which are normally based on single-date, remote-sensing imagery, often underestimate the spatial distribution of mangrove forests, especially when the images used were recorded during high-tide periods. In this paper, we propose a new method of mapping mangrove forests based on multi-tide, high-resolution satellite imagery. In the proposed method, a submerged mangrove recognition index (SMRI), which is based on the differential spectral signature of mangroves under high and low tides from multi-tide, high-resolution satellite imagery, is designed to identify submerged mangrove forests. The proposed method applies the SMRI values, together with textural features extracted from high-resolution imagery and geographical features of mangrove forests, to an object-based support vector machine (SVM) to map mangrove forests. The proposed method was evaluated via a case study with GF-1 images (high-resolution satellites launched by China) in Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China. The results show that our proposed method achieves satisfactory performance, with a kappa coefficient of 0.86 and an overall accuracy of 94%, which is better than results obtained from object-based SVMs that use only single-date, remote sensing imagery.

Deep learning (DL) has shown promising performances in various remote sensing applications as a powerful tool. To explore the great potential of DL in improving the accuracy of individual tree species (ITS) classification, four convolutional neural network models (ResNet-18, ResNet-34, ResNet-50, and DenseNet-40) were employed to classify four tree species using the combined high-resolution satellite imagery and airborne LiDAR data. A total of 1503 samples of four tree species, including maple, pine, locust, and spruce, were used in the experiments. When both WorldView-2 and airborne LiDAR data were used, the overall accuracies (OA) obtained by ResNet-18, ResNet-34, ResNet-50, and DenseNet-40 were 90.9%, 89.1%, 89.1%, and 86.9%, respectively. The OA of ResNet-18 was increased by 4.0% and 1.8% compared with random forest (86.7%) and support vector machine (89.1%), respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the size of input images impacted on the classification accuracy of ResNet-18. It is suggested that the input size of ResNet models can be determined according to the maximum size of all tree crown sample images. The use of LiDAR intensity image was helpful in improving the accuracies of ITS classification and atmospheric correction is unnecessary when both pansharpened WorldView-2 images and airborne LiDAR data were used.
