Assessment Of Pca And Mnf Influence In The Vhr Satellite Image Classifications

Orbital images have been increasingly refined spatially as spectrally as that is the case with those provided by satellite Earth observation WorldView-3 used in this paper. However, the images are very susceptible to noise interference, so it is difficult to identify and characterize objects. Therefore, it is essential to use techniques to minimize them. Thus, through increasingly innovative processing, it is possible to carry out detailed characterization mainly of urban areas. This work aims to perform the classification of images Worldview-3 using the advanced methods of classification Random Forest and Deep Learning for the region of Botafogo in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Such classifications were performed for four different data sets, including the spectral bands and transformations (MNF and PCA) resulting from the original images. The results demonstrate that the use of transformations resulting from the original images as input data for the extraction of attributes in conjunction with the spectral bands improves the accuracy of the classifications generated by the Random Forest and Deep Learning method.
