Abstract:

This paper presents an application of backpropagation neural network for the detection of linear structures in remote-sensing images. The purpose of the approach is two-fold. First, to exploit the advantages of a neural network classifier over the tranditional ones. Second, to avoid the strategic phases of enhancement and thresholding. Once the network is learnt, the classification scheme is real-time. Two critical issues in the present approach are the selection of the network architecture and the rate of convergence of learning. Solutions to these two problems are proposed. Experimental results on IRS and SPOT images are presented. Satisfactory classification results have been obtained using the network.
