Path Loss Prediction for Low-Rise Buildings With Image Classification on 2-D Aerial Photographs

Abstract

Abstract-This paper presents a radio wave propagation prediction method for low-rise buildings using 2-D aerial images taken from the actual areas. The prediction procedure was done in three steps. Firstly, the images were classified in order to identify the objects by Color Temperature Properties with Maximum Likelihood Algorithm (CTP MLA). The objects in the images consist of buildings, trees, roads, water and plain. These objects influence wave propagation highly. The MLA classification is a common supervised image segmentation technique in remote sensing domain. However it still needs human editing in case of classification errors. Secondly, the appropriate path loss models were selected to predict path loss. The original Xia path loss model was modified to include the effects of airy buildings and vegetation around the buildings. Finally, preliminary tests provide a better solution compared with measured path losses with the root mean square error (RMSE) and maximum relative error (MRE) of 3.47 and 0.31, respectively. Therefore, the positions for micro-cell base stations could be designed on a 2-D aerial map.

A Novel Method for Magnetic Resonance Brain Image Classification Based on Adaptive Chaotic Pso

“…While both of these methods achieved satisfactory results, supervised classification performs better than unsupervised classification in terms of classification accuracy (successful classification rate) [13].…”

Minimum Cell Size for Information Capacity Increase in Cellular Wireless Network

“…That is to say that propagation loss parameters affect the information capacity performance of cellular wireless communication systems. In wireless propagation environments there are different categories of environments such as buildings, trees, roads water and homes [93]. The wireless propagation environment therefore, requires an accurate modelling [52] for information capacity performance analysis of a cellular system.…”
