一种适用于多类别遥感图象分类的新方法——复合神经网络分类方法

该文提出一种由多层神经网络与自组织神经网络相结合进行类别遥感图象分类的复合神经网络分类方法。第１步半训练样本按其统计特征分成若干组，用不同级别的训练样本分别训练ＢＰ网络。第２步将这些训练好的ＢＰ网络并联构成有监督分类器，对遥感图象进行有监督分类。第３步用ＢＰ网络的分类结果对Ｋｏｈｏｎｅｎ网络进行自组织训练，用训练好的Ｋｏｈｏｎｅｎ网络构造无监督分类器，对遥感图象进行细分。通过对ＳＰＯＴ遥感图象的分

A New Method for Multicategory Remote Sensing Image Recognition by Complex Neural Network

This article presents a new approach to pattern recognition of multicategory remote sensingimages by using multilayered neural network and self-organizing neural network. BP algorithm is atypical supervised classification method by which multilayered neural network can learn previousknowledge about patterns of remote sense image from trainning sample set and form complicatednonlinear decision function automatically. Kohonen neural network, which may produce what is calledself- organizing feature maps similar to those that occur in the human brain, can be used as anunsupervised classifier. In this article, considering the features of multicategory remote sensing images,we synthesize the advantages of these two methods to form a complex classifier. First, trainningsamples are divided into several groups to train the corresponding BP networks which parallel toconstruct supervised classifier. Second, the remote sensing image is classified into many gross classesby the supervised classifier. Third, use the result of the supervised classifier to train Kohonen networkand each gross class is classified into some sub-classes by the trained Kohonen network. This methodhas been used in the classification of a SPOT remote sensing image, the number of recognizableclasses is 48 while the average right rate of the supervised classification is 91.6%. The experimentalresults verify the usefulness of this approach.
