Abstract

In this study, we explore the effectiveness of some recently developed image classification algorithms on reduced hyperspectral images. The nonparametric weighted feature extraction (NWFE) and principal component analysis (PCA) are used for dimensionality reduction on hyperspectral images. The fuzzy Weighted C-Means algorithm (FWCM) and new weighted fuzzy C-Means algorithm (NW-FCM) which newly devloped are tested for image classification on lower dimensional datasets. The results of fuzzy C-Means algorithm (FCM) also impelemted for the comparison. Preliminary experimental results show that the dimension reduction methods can affect the accuracy of classifying the hyperspectral datasets.
