Abstract

In this paper, a combination of artificial neural network (ANN)and genetic algorithm(GA) has been proposed as a method to obtain a high accuracy in classification of polarimetric SAR data. First we extracted 57 features based on decomposition algorithms and thenthe best features among inputted features by use of GA-ANN wereselected.The classification results of a data set, composed of different land cover elements, exhibited higher accuracy than maximum likelihood and Wishart classifier; moreover the input features were decreased to small numbers which contain sufficient information for classification of data set.
