High resolution image classification

Abstract AR

Classification is an important field with many applications.

In particular, the classification of digital imagery has important applications in the mapping community.

In this paper the comparison of three different classification methods on LANDSAT imagery of Erbil City - IRAQ: neural networks, nearest-neighbor, and discriminant analysis are made.

Out of the three approaches, k-nearest neighbors performed the best; next in accuracy was neural networks, and then discriminant analysis.
