Accuracy of land cover classification in remotely sensed images relies on the features extracted and the classifier used. Texture features are significant in land cover classification. Traditional texture models capture only patterns with discrete boundaries whereas fuzzy patterns need to be classified by assigning due weightage to uncertainty. When remotely sensed image contains noise, the image may have fuzzy patterns characterizing land covers and fuzzy boundaries separating land covers. So a fuzzy texture model is proposed for effective classification of land covers in remotely sensed images and the model uses Sugeno Fuzzy Inference System (FIS). Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used for precise and fast classification of image pixels. Hence it is proposed to use a hybrid of fuzzy texture model and SVM for land cover classification of remotely sensed images. In this chapter, land cover classification of IRS-P6, LISS-IV remotely sensed image is performed using multivariate version of the proposed texture model.

Land cover classification of urban areas is critical for understanding the urban environment. High-resolution remotely sensed imagery provides abundant, detailed spatial information for urban classification. In the meantime, OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, as typical crowd-sourced geographical information, have been an emerging data source for obtaining urban information. In this context, a land cover classification method that fuses high-resolution remotely sensed imagery and OSM data is proposed. Training samples were generated by integrating the OSM data and multiple information indexes. OSM data, which contain class attributes and location information of urban objects, served as the labels of initial training samples. Multiple information indexes that reflect spectral and spatial characteristics of different classes were utilized to improve the training set. Morphological attribute profiles were used because the structural and contextual information of images was effective in distinguishing the classes with similar spectral characteristics. Moreover, a road superimposition strategy that considers road hierarchy was developed because OSM data provide road information with high completeness in the urban area. Experiments were conducted on the data captured over Wuhan city, and three state-of-the-art approaches were adopted for comparison. Results show that the proposed approach obtains satisfactory results and outperforms the other comparative approaches.
