Abstract

Image classification is a key task in many remote sensing applications. As discussed in Sect. 2.6 of Chap. 2, the objective of classification is to allocate each pixel of a remote sensing image into only one class (i.e. hard or per-pixel classification) or to associate the pixel with many classes (i.e. soft, sub-pixel or fuzzy classification). A number of hard classifiers are in vogue based on approaches such as statistical (Mather 1999), neural networks (Foody 2000a) and decision tree (Hansen et al. 2001).
