Abstract. The classification of remotely sensed images knows a large progress taking in consideration the availability of images with different resolutions as well as the abundance of classification's algorithms. A number of works have shown promising results by the fusion of spatial and spectral information using Support vector machines (SVM). For this purpose we propose a methodology allowing to combine these two informations using a combination of multispectral features and Haralick texture features as data source with composite kernel. The proposed approach was tested on common scenes of urban imagery. The results allow a significant improvement of the classification performances when compared with the two sets of attributes used separately. The experimental results indicate an accuracy value of 93.29% which is very promising.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
