AM-65 - Geospatial data classification

You are currently viewing an archived version of Topic . If updates or revisions have been published you can find them at .

Learning Objectives: 
  • Compare and contrast the assumptions and performance of parametric and non-parametric approaches to multivariate data classification
  • Describe three algorithms that are commonly used to conduct geospatial data classification
  • Explain the effect of including geospatial contiguity as an explicit neighborhood classification criterion
  • Compare and contrast the results of the neural approach to those obtained using more traditional Gaussian maximum likelihood classification (available in most remote sensing systems)
