Using Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Algorithms to Extract Land Features from High-Resolution Pléiades Data
摘要
This study explores the efficacy of Pléiades data for distinguishing different morphological classes using the feature extraction method. Recent advances in remote sensing have made it possible to use extracted features coupled with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) to achieve better accuracy. This paper deals with feature extraction by Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and four classification techniques, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Classification and Regression Tree (CART). The highest classification accuracy for a scene of Pléiades data at Sai Yok national park, Thailand, was obtained for SVM, followed by CNN and RF. In contrast, the lowest accuracy was observed for the CART algorithm. Our results suggest that feature extraction has drastically improved accuracy for all four classification techniques, and the improvement is substantial (for SVM, 74.34–91.8%; for RF, 70.13–90.23%; for CNN, 61.45–89.45%; for CART, 54.02–84.62%). However, the classification algorithms performed differently in separating closely aligned classes, like cropland and forest, or road and built-up areas. The proximity of the two separate groups of features in the feature space image further proves the complexity of the problem. The separate distribution of the pixels in the feature space suggests the efficiency of feature extraction. Additionally, because of the high accuracy levels (> 89% overall accuracy for SVM, RF, and CNN), this research suggests using Pléiades data for land use analysis in the future.
