Abstract

In recent years, the Bayesian network approach has been used as a data-mining tool in many information fields, but it has rarely been used to process remote sensing data. In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian network classifier for remote sensing data change detection. Using the conditional independence (CI) test we can find out relationships among the attributes and construct a Bayesian network that incorporates these relationship constraints. After geometric correction and radiometric normalization, a Bayesian network change detection system based on CI test algorithm is developed and applied to two temporal Landsat TM data acquired in 1994 and 2003 of Beijing area, and the overall change detection classification accuracy can get 92%. The experimental results show that Bayesian network is a newly effective approach for remote sensing data change detection.
