Essay

The study aimed to increase the accuracy of object classification on aerial and space imagery by developing a technique to increase the separability of recognition features. The dissertation research examines the role and place of the classification procedure in the tasks of remote sensing. An analysis of object classification methods on aerial and space images was conducted. It is substantiated that for most thematic tasks, it is appropriate to use supervised classification methods because they allow setting the properties of the object classes in the form of training samples set. The properties of the training samples set were analyzed. An analysis of approaches to processing the training sample was carried out. It is shown that the common disadvantage of the considered approaches is that they do not consider the factor of the separability. It is proposed to use a geospatial data cube to represent input data for classification. Data templates are presented for the selected thematic tasks. Methods of training sample clustering have been developed based on centroid methods of unsupervised classification. 2 methods have been developed: the method of forming training samples set from clusters of initial classes and the method of forming training samples set from the clusters centres of initial classes. A method for assessing the training sample separability has been developed. The algorithm of the method for assessing the separability of two separate classes of the training sample and the entire set as a whole is described in detail. The principles of forming a geospatial data cube, the methods of the training sample clustering, and the method for assessing the training sample are combined into object classification technique, which has two branches of application: reducing the training samples dimensions and clustering the training sample. The choice of the branch depends on the amount of input data. According to the results of experimental studies, the developed method demonstrated the classification accuracy enhancement in each of the 4 examples. The effectiveness of the method is confirmed in one of the examples by the increase of the overall accuracy indicators by 2% (from 91% to 93%) and the kappa index by 2% (from 87% to 89%); in the second example, an increase in the corresponding indicators by 4% (from 77% to 81%) and by 5% (from 66% to 71%); in the third - by an increase in the Pearson correlation coefficient by 28% (from 54% to 82%); in the fourth - by 20% (from 63% to 83%) and by 21% (from 60% to 81%) of the overall accuracy of classification and kappa index, respectively. Scientific novelty The first developed method for assessing the training sample separability during the supervised object classification on aerial and space images. The assessment considers a specific classification method, input data and its structure. The first developed object classification technique on aerial and space imagery under low separability of recognition features, which includes the application of one of the two developed methods depending on the amount of data. When there is an excess amount of data, the method of reducing the training sample size is used, and when the amount of data is limited, the method of the training sample clustering is used. The basis of the developed methods is the method for assessing the separability of the training sample. The first developed method of training sample clustering is based on the developed method for assessing the separability of the training sample. Unlike the existing ones, this method allows the selection of a number of clusters for each class, in which the separation of the training sample reached the highest value among the other considered options. The first developed method of reducing the training sample size is based on the developed method for assessing the separability of the training sample. Unlike the existing ones, this method allows the selection of such input data layers, in which the corresponding training sample will reach the highest value of separability among other considered variants of input data. In this way, not only the dimensionality of the input data is reduced, but also the separability of the training sample is increased.
