Title
Improvements to Expectation-Maximization Approach for Unsupervised Classification of Remote Sensing Data
Abstract
In statistical pattern recognition, mixture models allow a formal ap- proach to unsupervised learning. This work aims to present a modification of the Expectation-Maximization clustering method applied to remote sensing im- ages. The stability of its convergence has been increased by supplying the re- sults of the well-known K-Means algorithm, as seed points. Hence, the accuracy has been improved by applying cluster validity measures to each configuration, varying the initial number of clusters. High-resolution urban scenes has been tested, and we show a comparison to supervised classification results. Perfor- mance tests were also realized, showing the improvements of our proposal, in comparison to the original one.
