Abstract:

This paper proposes a set of SVM classification methods based on fusion of gray scale and texture features. A set of experiments are carried out using the SVM classifiers with feature fusion. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches are applied to assess the classification results. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is effective for SAR image classification with accuracy higher than those obtained by using single texture feature based algorithms.
