Remote sensing image classification is of great importance for urban development and planning. The need for higher classification accuracy has led to improvements in classification technology. In this research, Landsat 8 images are used as experimental data, and Wuhan, Chengde and Tongchuan are selected as research areas. The best neighborhood window size of the image patch and band combination method are selected based on two sets of comparison experiments. Then, an object-oriented convolutional neural network (OCNN) is used as a classifier. The experimental results show that the classification accuracy of the OCNN classifier is 6% higher than that of an SVM classifier and 5% higher than that of a convolutional neural network classifier. The graph of the classification results of the OCNN is more continuous than the plots obtained with the other two classifiers, and there are few fragmentations observed for most of the category. The OCNN successfully solves the salt and pepper problem and improves the classification accuracy to some extent, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed object-oriented model.
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.
