Abstract

With the development of remote sensing (RS) and the related technologies, the resolution of RS images is enhancing. Compared with moderate or low resolution images, high-resolution ones can provide more detailed ground information. However, a variety of terrain has complex spatial distribution. The different objectives of high-resolution images have a variety of features. The effectiveness of these features is not the same, but some of them are complementary. Considering the above information and characteristics, a new method is proposed to classify RS images based on hierarchical fusion of multi-features. Firstly, RS images are pre-classified into two categories in terms of whether feature points are uniformly or non-uniformly distributed. Then, the color histogram and Gabor texture feature are extracted from the uniformly-distributed categories, and the linear spatial pyramid matching using sparse coding (ScSPM) feature is obtained from the non-uniformly-distributed categories. Finally, the classification is performed by two support vector machine classifiers. The experimental results on a large RS image database with 2100 images show that the overall classification accuracy is boosted by 10.1% in comparison with the highest accuracy of single feature classification method. Compared with other multiple-feature fusion methods, the proposed method has achieved the highest classification accuracy on this dataset which has reached 90.1%, and the time complexity of the algorithm is also greatly reduced.
