Abstract

Abstract. We apply a new category classification method to remote sensing data. This is a supervised and non-parametric method and employs both a selforganizing neural network and a k -nearest neighbour method. One of the features of the category is represented by the neuron weights after training the neural network based on a competitive learning role. From experimental results, we can see that the proposed method obtains superior classification results compared to other methods.
