High Resolution Satellite Images

In the current era, content based image retrieval based on pattern recognition and classification using machine learning paradigm is an innovative way. In order to retrieve high resolution satellite images Support Vector Machine (SVM) a machine learning paradigm is helpful for learning process and for pattern recognition and classification; ensemble methods give better machine learning results. In this paper, SVM based on random subspace and boosting ensemble learning is proposed for very high resolution satellite image retrieval. The learned SVM ensemble model is used to identify the images that most similar informative for active learning. A bias-weighting system is developed to direct the ensemble model to pay more attention on the positive examples than the negative ones. The UCMerced land use satellite image dataset is used for experimental work. Accuracy and error rate are found to be precise. The tentative effects illustrate that the proposed model derived enhanced retrieval accurateness at the optimum level as well as significantly more effective than existing approaches. The proposed method can diminish the gap dimensionality and conquer the difficulty. The comparisons are evaluated by using precision and recall measurements. Comparative analysis observed that the retrieval time for a particular image have been reduced and the precision is increased. The primary aim of this paper is to represent the significance of ensemble learning with support vector machine in efficient retrieval of image.

Very high resolution satellite imageries provide an excellent foundation for precise mapping of plant communities and even single plants. We aim to perform individual tree recognition on the basis of very high resolution RGB (red, green, blue) satellite images using deep learning approaches for northern temperate mixed forests in the Primorsky Region of the Russian Far East. We used a pansharpened satellite RGB image by GeoEye-1 with a spatial resolution of 0.46 m/pixel, obtained in late April 2019. We parametrized the standard U-Net convolutional neural network (CNN) and trained it in manually delineated satellite images to solve the satellite image segmentation problem. For comparison purposes, we also applied standard pixel-based classification algorithms, such as random forest, k-nearest neighbor classifier, naive Bayes classifier, and quadratic discrimination. Pattern-specific features based on grey level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) were computed to improve the recognition ability of standard machine learning methods. The U-Net-like CNN allowed us to obtain precise recognition of Mongolian poplar (Populus suaveolens Fisch. ex Loudon s.l.) and evergreen coniferous trees (Abies holophylla Maxim., Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc.). We were able to distinguish species belonging to either poplar or coniferous groups but were unable to separate species within the same group (i.e. A. holophylla and P. koraiensis were not distinguishable). The accuracy of recognition was estimated by several metrics and exceeded values obtained for standard machine learning approaches. In contrast to pixel-based recognition algorithms, the U-Net-like CNN does not lead to an increase in false-positive decisions when facing green-colored objects that are similar to trees. By means of U-Net-like CNN, we obtained a mean accuracy score of up to 0.96 in our computational experiments. The U-Net-like CNN recognizes tree crowns not as a set of pixels with known RGB intensities but as spatial objects with a specific geometry and pattern. This CNN’s specific feature excludes misclassifications related to objects of similar colors as objects of interest. We highlight that utilization of satellite images obtained within the suitable phenological season is of high importance for successful tree recognition. The suitability of the phenological season is conceptualized as a group of conditions providing highlighting objects of interest over other components of vegetation cover. In our case, the use of satellite images captured in mid-spring allowed us to recognize evergreen fir and pine trees as the first class of objects (“conifers”) and poplars as the second class, which were in a leafless state among other deciduous tree species.
