The growing neural gas (GNG) patternrecognition algorithm is an unsupervised algorithm which inserts nodes into the state space of the training data. Observations of the behavior of the algorithm lead to the hypothesis that this method may be an efficient pre-classification clustering algorithm for data in highly discrete state spaces, as in satellite remotesensingimages. The GNG algorithm was used to train a network using a Landsat image from Wyoming. The initial results of this investigation were extremely positive. The image derived from the trained GNG network is difficult to distinguish from the source image. Preliminary statistical results also indicate a high degree of correlation between the source and resultant images.

Fuzzy Models and Algorithms for patternrecognition and imageprocessing presents a comprehensive introduction of the use of fuzzy models in patternrecognition and selected topics in imageprocessing and computer vision. Unique to this volume in the Kluwer Handbooks of Fuzzy Sets Series is the fact that this book was written in its entirety by its four authors. A single notation, presentation style, and purpose are used throughout. The result is an extensive unified treatment of many fuzzy models for patternrecognition. The main topics are clustering and classifier design, with extensive material on feature analysis relational clustering, imageprocessing and computer vision. Also included are numerous figures, images and numerical examples that illustrate the use of various models involving applications in medicine, character and word recognition, remotesensing, military image analysis, and industrial engineering.

This paper imported wavelet analysis and wavelet descriptor into the building recognition of high resolution satellite remotesensingimage, and brought forward the building recognition method based on wavelet descriptor in theory: firstly used wavelet analysis to do image segmentation in order to wipe off the large blocks of vegetation area in the image, then used dyadic wavelet to extract the edge, and used coordinate wavelet descriptor to describe the detected building contour, after that, computed the affine invariants to recognize the buildings, at last employed shadow validating to ascertain if the detected edge was the real building edge. This paper also constructed the building recognitionpattern database, and used a QuickBird RS image of Peking University to do the experiment and the experimental result proved the feasibility of the method.

We present a new approach based on discriminant analysis to map a high dimensional image feature space onto a subspace which has the following advantages: 1) each dimension corresponds to a semantic likelihood, 2) an efficient and simple multiclass classifier is proposed and 3) it is low dimensional. This mapping is learnt from a given set of labeled images with a class groundtruth. In the new space a classifier is naturally derived which performs as well as a linear SVM. We show that projecting images in this new space provides a database browsing tool which is meaningful to the user. Results are presented on a remotesensing database with eight classes, made available online. The output semantic space is a low dimensional feature space which opens perspectives for other recognition tasks.
In this paper, we investigate the problem of video classification into predefined genre, by combining the evidence from multiple classifiers. It is well known in the patternrecognition community that the accuracy of ...

Taking into account the demands of hyperspectral remotesensing(RS) image retrieval and processing, some encoding methods of spectral vector including direct encoding, feature-based encoding and tree-based encoding methods are proposed and compared. In direct encoding, based on the analysis of binary encoding and quad-value encoding, decimal encoding is proposed. It is proved that quad-value encoding and decimal encoding are suitable to fast processing and retrieval. In absorption feature-based encoding method, five common metrics are compared. Because locations of reflection/absorption features are sensitive to noise, this method is not very effective in retrieval. In tree-based encoding methods, bitree, quadtree, octree and hextree are proposed and discussed. It is proved that 2-level octree and 2-level hextree are more effective than bitree and quadtree. Finally, quad-value encoding, decimal encoding, 2-level octree and 2-level hextree are proposed in spectral vectors encoding, similarity measure and hyperspectral RS image retrieval.

This paper presents a method for ports detection based on the framework of feature level fusion. Bearing in mind the fact that parallel lines and rectangular corners are main features in most ports, and ports are large scale man-made objects, these features are firstly extracted from high-to-moderate resolution optical satellite imagery. Taking account for the balance of data acquisition and spatial resolution, SPOT panchromatic image is used for such feature extraction. Considering the whether conditions in coastal area, which is characterized by rainy and cloudy climate, Radarsat image with the similar spatial resolution as SPOT panchromatic is used to extract linear features along coastal line. Since ships and boats are typical objects that can be easily detected in radar image, these are considered to be supplemented features for ports detection. All extracted features are associated under the framework of feature level fusion. The whole procedure can be described as follows: the first step is preprocessing the input images, mainly histogram stretching to SPOT image for visual quality improvement and filtering to radar image for denoising speckles. Then registration between SPOT and Radarsat image is carried out. Since Radarsat image is used mainly for coastal line extraction and ship detection, rigorous geometric processing is omitted since little attention will be paid to land area. Common polynomial model is used for co-registration with Ground Control Points manually selected from both images. Due to feature level fusion method is adopted, registration accuracy is not as a key factor as in pixel level fusion. The next step will be linear features and rectangular corners detection both in optical and radar image. The detected linear features are then fitted by least mean-square-error algorithm. All the detected features are associated by simply weighted mean algorithm, with different weights to features from optical and radar images. An automatic ports detect

In this paper, a new image classification method is developed. This approach applies graph decomposition and probabilistic neural networks (PNN) to the task of supervised image classification. We use relational graphs to represent image. These graphs are constructed from the feature points of images. Spectra of these graphs are obtained as feature vectors for classification. PNN is adopted to classify image according to the feature vectors. Experimental results show that this method can achieve best result of images classification.

Bayesian Networks have emerged in recent years as a powerful data mining technique for handling uncertainty in complex domains. The Bayesian Network represents the joint probability distribution and domain (or expert) knowledge in a compact way and provides a comprehensive method of representing relationships and influences among nodes (variables) with a graphical diagram. Actually, however, in the classification domain it was not paid attention to by researchers until the simplest of form of Bayesian Networks, Naive Bayes Classifier, turned up. Naive Bayes Classifier is a simple and efficient probability classification method, and has shown surprising performance in some domains, which owes to the independence assumption that makes Naive Bayes Classifier fit the classification more easily. However, the independence assumption obviously does not hold in the real world. Therefore, in order to meet the "naive" (unreal) assumption, this paper proposes a new image texture classification method of aerial images, PCA-NBC, which combines the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC). The PCA transforms the highly correlated features into statistically independent and orthogonal "features", so it is suitable to solve that problem and can lay a solid theoretic foundation in the application. One hundred and thirteen aerial images are used to evaluate the classification performance in the experiment. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can cut down the number of features and computational costs and improve the accuracy during classification. In one word, the new method, PCA-NBC, is an attractive and effective method, which outperforms the Naive Bayes Classifier.
