Vegetation type recognition in hyperspectral images using a conjugacy indicator

Abstract

This paper considers a vegetation type recognition algorithm in which the conjugacy indicator with a subspace spanned by endmember vectors is taken as a proximity measure. We show that with proper data preprocessing, including vector components weighting and class partitioning into subclasses, the proposed method offers a higher recognition quality when compared to a support vector machine (SVM) method implemented in MatLab software. This implementation provides good results with the SVM method for a fairly difficult classification test using the Indian Pines dataset with 16 classes containing similar vegetation types. The difficulty of the test is caused by high correlation between the classes. Thus, the results show a possibility for the recognition of a large variety of vegetation types, including the narcotic plants.

Groundwater Potential Zones in Relation to Catchment Condition in Orenburg, Russia

“…Approximately 16% of the study area in the northwest part comes under high and a very high class, means they have the maximum possibility of groundwater. Generally, low elevations, less slop, low drainage density have high soil porosity which increases high infiltration rate of water so its increase the groundwater possibility [11,12]. Around 33% study area show the moderate possibility of groundwater.…”

Vegetation Drought Dynamic Analysis in European Russia

“…Here EVI has high correlation than NDIV as it's not affected by background features effects (figure 5). Normally VIs represents the land use feature and LST symbolizes thermal condition of land surface features [50]. Figure 4 illustrates the relationships between VIs (NDVI & EVI) for the different years' time period in European Russia from 2000 to 2018.…”

Recognition of forest and shrub communities on the base of remotely sensed data supported by ground studies

“…To implement the supervised pixel-wise classification we selected the support vector machine classification with the radial basis functions (SVM-RBF) [22]. This algorithm is one of the best pixelwise classifiers tested with the hyperspectral images of vegetation [23]. The algorithm is trained using the training sample mask and the training feature image.…”
