Multispectral image classification using wavelets: a simulation study

摘要

This work presents methods for multispectral image classification using the discrete wavelet transform. Performance of some conventional classification methods is evaluated, through a Monte Carlo study, with or without using the wavelet transform. Spatial autocorrelation is present in the computer-generated data on different scenes, and the misclassification rates are compared. The results indicate that the wavelet-based method performs best among the methods under study.
