The image classification is one of the most important studies in the remote sensing. In general, the MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification) classification that in consideration of distribution of training information is the most effective way but it produces a bad result when we apply it to actual hyperspectral image with the same classification technique. The purpose of this research is to reveal that which one is the most effective and suitable way of the classification algorithms iii the hyperspectral image classification. To confirm this matter, we apply the MLC classification algorithm which has distribution information and SAM(Spectral Angle Mapper), SFF(Spectral Feature Fitting) algorithm which use average information of the training class to both multispectral image and hyperspectral image. I conclude this result through quantitative and visual analysis using confusion matrix could confirm that SAM and SFF algorithm using of spectral pattern in vector domain is more effective way in the hyperspectral image classification than MLC which considered distribution.

The aim of remotely sensed data classification is to produce the best accuracy map of the earth surface assigning each pixel to its appropriate category of the real-world. The classification of satellite multi-spectral image data has become tool for generating ground cover map. Many classification methods exist. In this study, MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification), ANN(Artificial neural network), SVM(Support Vector Machine), Naive Bayes classifier algorithms are compared using IKONOS image of the part of Dalsung Gun, Daegu area. Two preprocessing methods are performed-PCA(Principal component analysis), ICA(Independent Component Analysis). Boosting algorithms also performed. By the combination of appropriate feature selection pre-processing and classifier, the best results were obtained.

Improvements of classification accuracy are main issues in satellite image classification. Considering the facts that multiple images in the same area are available, there are needs on researches aiming improvements of classification accuracy using multiple data sets. In this study, orthogonal summation method of Dempster-Shafer theory (theory of evidence) is proposed as a multiple imagery classification method and posterior probabilities and classification uncertainty are used in calculation process. Accuracies of the proposed method are higher than conventional classification methods, maximum likelihood classification(MLC) of each data and MLC of merged data sets, which can be certified through statistical tests of mean difference.

Remote sensing is an efficient technology for observing and monitoring the land surfaces inaccessible to humans. This research proposes a methodology for improving the accuracy of the land cover classification using the Landsat-8 operational land imager(OLI) image. The proposed methodology consists of the following steps. First, the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) and normalized difference water index(NDWI) images are generated from the given Landsat-8 OLI image. Then, a new image is generated by adding both NDVI and NDWI images to the original Landsat-8 OLI image using the layer-stacking method. Finally, the maximum likelihood classification(MLC), and support vector machine(SVM) methods are separately applied to the original Landsat-8 OLI image and new image to identify the five classes namely water, forest, cropland, bare soil, and artificial structure. The comparison of the results shows that the utilization of the layer-stacking method improves the accuracy of the land cover classification by 8% for the MLC method and by 1.6% for the SVM method. This research proposes a methodology for improving the accuracy of the land cover classification by using the layer-stacking method.

Several commercial companies that plan to provide improved panchromatic and/or multi-spectral remote sensor data in the near future are suggesting that merge datasets will be of significant value. This study evaluated the utility of one major merging process-process components analysis and its inverse. The 6 bands of 30$\times$30m Landsat TM data and the 10$\times$l0m SPOT panchromatic data were used to create a new 10$\times$10m merged data file. For the image classification, 6 bands that is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th band may be used in conjunction with supervised classification algorithms except band 6. One of the 7 bands is Band 6 that records thermal IR energy and is rarely used because of its coarse spatial resolution (120m) except being employed in thermal mapping. Because SPOT panchromatic has high resolution it makes 10$\times$10m SPOT panchromatic data be used to classify for the detailed classification. SPOT as the Landsat has acquired hundreds of thousands of images in digital format that are commercially available and are used by scientists in different fields. After the merged, the classifications used supervised classification and neural network. The method of the supervised classification is what used parallelepiped and/or minimum distance and MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification) The back-propagation in the multi-layer perception is one of the neural network. The used method in this paper is MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification) of the supervised classification and the back-propagation of the neural network. Later in this research SPOT systems and images are compared with these classification. A comparative analysis of the classifications from the TM and merged SPOT/TM datasets will be resulted in some conclusions.

High-resolution images using remote sensing (RS) is importance to secure for spatial classification depending on the characteristics of the complex and various factors that make up the river environment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the classification results and to suggest the possibility of applying the high resolution hyperspectral images obtained by using the drone to perform spatial classification. Hyperspectral images obtained from study area were reduced the dimensionality with PCA and MNF transformation to remove effects of noise. Spatial classification was performed by supervised classifications such as MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification), SVM(Support Vector Machine) and SAM(Spectral Angle Mapping). In overall, the highest classification accuracy was showed when the MLC supervised classification was used by MNF transformed image. However, it was confirmed that the misclassification was mainly found in the boundary of some classes including water body and the shadowing area. The results of this study can be used as basic data for remote sensing using drone and hyperspectral sensor, and it is expected that it can be applied to a wider range of river environments through the development of additional algorithms.

This paper discusses the effectiveness of using Landsat 8 TIR (Thermal Infrared) band images to improve the accuracy of landuse/landcover classification of urban areas. According to classification results for the study area using diverse band combinations, the classification accuracy using an image fusion process in which the TIR band is added to the visible and near infrared band was improved by 4.0%, compared to that using a band combination that does not consider the TIR band. For urban area landuse/landcover classification in particular, the producer’s accuracy and user’s accuracy values were improved by 10.2% and 3.8%, respectively. When MLC (Maximum Likelihood Classification), which is commonly applied to remote sensing images, was used, the TIR band images helped obtain a higher discriminant analysis in landuse/landcover classification.

In this study, we tried to extract the land-use change information of Seoul city using the multiple date images of the same geographic area. Multiple date image set is MSS('72, '79, '81, '93) and TM('85), and we carried out geometric correction, digitizing(due to the administrative boundary) in pre-processing process. In addition, we performed land-use classification with MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classifier) after improving the predictive accuracy of classification by filtering technique. At the stage of classification, ground truth data, topographic maps, aerial photographs were used to select the training field and statistical data of that time were compared with the classification result to prove the accuracy. As a result, urban area in Seoul has been increased('72 : 25.8 %${\rightarrow}$'81 : 43.0 %${\rightarrow}$'85 : 51.9 %) and Forest area decreased ('72 : 39.0 %${\rightarrow}$'85 : 28.4 %) as we estimated. Finally, it is concluded that the utilzation of satellite imagery is very effective, economical and helpful in the urban land-use/land-cover monitoring.
