Image Classification is the evolution of separating or grouping an image into different parts. The good act of recognition algorithms based on the quality of classified image. The good feat of recognition algorithms based on the quality of classified image. An important problem in SAR image

Abstract—In this letter, we propose a theoretically and compu-tationally simple feature for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification, the multilevel local pattern histogram (MLPH). The MLPH describes the size distributions of bright, dark, and ho-mogenous patterns appearing in a moving

In this work the potentiality of the textural information that polarimetric SIRC data can provide to discriminate some types of land use is studied. That information is extracted from the data by using statistical and distributional measures. The Euclidean distance is used to select the best set of features for discriminating classes of interest. Features

This article presents a system for polarimetric SAR image classification. This system uses contextual information through a Markovian model for the classes, besides a statistical model for the data. It is developed with the user in mind and, therefore, it is solely based on graphic user interfaces

In this paper we develop a novel classification approach for high and very high resolution polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude images. This approach combines the Markov random field model to Bayesian image classification and a finite mixture technique for probability density

Abstract — In this paper, we propose the application of collective network of (evolutionary) binary classifiers (CNBC) to address the problems of feature/class scalability and classifier evolution, to achieve a high classification performance over full polarimetric SAR images even though

A novel classification scheme for SAR images based on the perceptual classification of image patterns in the Discrete Hermite Transform domain has been developed. In order to obtain the DHT referred to a rotated coordinate system the set of coefficients of a given order are mapped through a unitary
