Title
A noise removal approach for object-based classification of VHR imagery via post-classification
Abstract
The pixel-based classification of remotely sensed images always produces a large amount of “speckled” or “salt and pepper” noises. Both post-classification smoothing and object-based classification techniques have been proposed to tackle this problem. However, most of them are not adequate to deal with the noises in object-based classification of very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing imagery, because a lot of noisy regions will be produced by image segmentation and the existing post-classification approaches generally are tailored towards pixel-based classification. This paper proposes a novel noise removal approach for object-based classification of VHR imagery via post-classification. It includes four phases: firstly, an image is segmented into homogeneous regions; secondly, all regions are classified according to their spectral and texture features; thirdly, noisy regions are distinguished by using shape features. Finally, the noisy regions are removed by using contextual features. Experimental results show the proposed approach is effective and can improve the overall accuracy of classification of VHR remote sensing imagery.
