Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Image Classification Using Semi-supervised Learning and Random Forest Ensemble
摘要
Accurate urban vegetation inventorying is essential for effective landscape management, and remote sensing data, like VHR imagery, aids in vegetation extraction. This paper introduces a method for land use classification using multi-temporal remote sensing data and semi-supervised learning. A random forest ensemble serves as the base classifier, utilizing probability distributions to address spectral variations across time phases. A cascade mechanism enables classifier communication across phases, while joint confidence maps improve unlabeled sample selection and classification accuracy. Tested on SENTINEL-2-MSI images of Nanjing City, this approach shows enhanced accuracy and consistency in multi-temporal land use classification, especially for vegetation.
