OBJECT SEGMENTATION USING MULTISCALE MORPHOLOGICAL OPERATIONSijcseit
Object segmentation plays an important role in human visual perception, medical image processing and content based image retrieval. It provides information for recognition and interpretation. This paper uses mathematical morphology for image segmentation. Object segmentation is difficult because one usually does not know a priori what type of object exists in an image, how many different shapes are there and what regions the image has. To carryout discrimination and segmentation several innovative segmentation methods, based on morphology are proposed. The present study proposes segmentation method based on multiscale morphological reconstructions. Various sizes of structuring elements have been used to segment simple and complex shapes. It enhances local boundaries that may lead to improve segmentation accuracy.The method is tested on various datasets and results shows that it can be used for both interactive and automatic segmentation.
Color Particle Filter Tracking using Frame Segmentation based on JND Color an...IOSRJVSP
Object tracking is one of the most important components in numerous applications of computer vision. Color can provide an efficient visual feature for tracking non-rigid objects in real-time. The color is chosen as tracking feature to make the process scale and rotation invariant. The color of an object can vary over time due to variations in the illumination conditions, the visual angle and the camera parameters. This paper presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. The color feature is extracted using our novel 4D color histogram of the image, which is determined using JND color similarity threshold and connectivity of the neighboring pixels. Particle filter tracks several hypotheses simultaneously and weighs them according to their similarity to the target model. The popular Bhattacharyya coefficient is used as similarity measure between two color distributions. The tracking results are compared on the basis of precision over the data set of video sequences from the website http://visualtracking.net of CVPR13 bench marking paper. The proposed tracker yields better precision values as compared to previous reported results

Image processing, arbitrarily manipulating an image to achieve an aesthetic standard or to support a preferred reality. The objective of segmentation is partitioning an image into distinct regions containing each pixels with similar attributes. Image segmentation can be done using thresholding, color space segmentation, k-means clustering.
Segmentation is the low-level operation concerned with partitioning images by determining disjoint and homogeneous regions or, equivalently, by finding edges or boundaries. The homogeneous regions, or the edges, are supposed to correspond, actual objects, or parts of them, within the images. Thus, in a large number of applications in image processing and computer vision, segmentation plays a fundamental role as the first step before applying to images higher-level operations such as recognition, semantic interpretation, and representation. Until very recently, attention has been focused on segmentation of gray-level images since these have been the only kind of visual information that acquisition devices were able to take the computer resources to handle. Nowadays, color image has definitely displaced monochromatic information and computation power is no longer a limitation in processing large volumes of data.

A New Method for Indoor-outdoor Image Classification Using Color Correlated T...CSCJournals
In this paper a new method for indoor-outdoor image classification is presented; where the concept of Color Correlated Temperature is used to extract distinguishing features between the two classes. In this process, using Hue color component, each image is segmented into different color channels and color correlated temperature is calculated for each channel. These values are then incorporated to build the image feature vector. Besides color temperature values, the feature vector also holds information about the color formation of the image. In the classification phase, KNN classifier is used to classify images as indoor or outdoor. Two different datasets are used for test purposes; a collection of images gathered from the internet and a second dataset built by frame extraction from different video sequences from one video capturing device. High classification rate, compared to other state of the art methods shows the ability of the proposed method for indoor-outdoor image classification.
Textural Feature Extraction of Natural Objects for Image ClassificationCSCJournals
The field of digital image processing has been growing in scope in the recent years. A digital image is represented as a two-dimensional array of pixels, where each pixel has the intensity and location information. Analysis of digital images involves extraction of meaningful information from them, based on certain requirements. Digital Image Analysis requires the extraction of features, transforms the data in the high-dimensional space to a space of fewer dimensions. Feature vectors are n-dimensional vectors of numerical features used to represent an object. We have used Haralick features to classify various images using different classification algorithms like Support Vector Machines (SVM), Logistic Classifier, Random Forests Multi Layer Perception and Naïve Bayes Classifier. Then we used cross validation to assess how well a classifier works for a generalized data set, as compared to the classifications obtained during training.
Fuzzy Region Merging Using Fuzzy Similarity Measurement on Image Segmentation IJECEIAES
Some image’s regions have unbalance information, such as blurred contour, shade, and uneven brightness. Those regions are called as ambiguous regions. Ambiguous region cause problem during region merging process in interactive image segmentation because that region has double information, both as object and background. We proposed a new region merging strategy using fuzzy similarity measurement for image segmentation. The proposed method has four steps; the first step is initial segmentation using mean-shift algorithm. The second step is giving markers manually to indicate the object and background region. The third step is determining the fuzzy region or ambiguous region in the images. The last step is fuzzy region merging using fuzzy similarity measurement. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method is able to segment natural images and dental panoramic images successfully with the average value of misclassification error (ME) 1.96% and 5.47%, respectively.
Content Based Image Retrieval : Classification Using Neural Networksijma
In a content-based image retrieval system (CBIR), the main issue is to extract the image features that
effectively represent the image contents in a database. Such an extraction requires a detailed evaluation of
retrieval performance of image features. This paper presents a review of fundamental aspects of content
based image retrieval including feature extraction of color and texture features. Commonly used color
features including color moments, color histogram and color correlogram and Gabor texture are
compared. The paper reviews the increase in efficiency of image retrieval when the color and texture
features are combined. The similarity measures based on which matches are made and images are
retrieved are also discussed. For effective indexing and fast searching of images based on visual features,
neural network based pattern learning can be used to achieve effective classification.

A metric topological approach to the region growing based segmentation is presented in this article. Region based growing techniques has gained a significant importance in the medical image processing field for finest of segregation of tumor detected part in the image.

This measure is introduced to prove the amount of information lost after segmentation is reduced to greater extent which elucidates the effectiveness of the algorithm. This algorithm is tested on the well known benchmarking of testing in ground truth images in par with the proposed region based growing segmented images. The results validated show the validation of effectiveness of the algorithm.

Rough Set based Natural Image Segmentation under Game Theory Frameworkijsrd.com
The Since past few decades, image segmentation has been successfully applied to number of applications. When different image segmentation techniques are applied to an image, they produce different results especially if images are obtained under different conditions and have different attributes. Each technique works on a specific concept, such that it is important to decide as to which image segmentation technique should for a given application domain. On combining the strengths of individual segmentation techniques, the resulting integrated method yields better results thus enhancing the synergy of the individual methods alone. This work improves the segmentation technique of combining results of different methods using the concept of game theory. This is achieved through Nash equilibrium along with various similarity distance measures. Using game theory the problem is divided into modules which are considered as players. The number of modules depends on number of techniques to be integrated. The modules work in parallel and interactive manner. The effectiveness of the technique will be demonstrated by simulation results on different sets of test images.

Region-based color image segmentation is elementary steps in image processing and computer vision. The region-based color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, in which three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimension and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. This paper introduced, an improved algorithm modified moth flame optimization (MMFO) algorithm for RGB color image segmentation which is based on bio-inspired techniques.

An Unsupervised Cluster-based Image Retrieval Algorithm using Relevance FeedbackIJMIT JOURNAL
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems utilize low level query image feature as identifying similarity between a query image and the image database. Image contents are plays significant role for image retrieval. There are three fundamental bases for content-based image retrieval, i.e. visual feature extraction, multidimensional indexing, and retrieval system design. Each image has three contents such as: color, texture and shape features. Color and texture both plays important image visual features used in Content-Based Image Retrieval to improve results. Color histogram and texture features have potential to retrieve similar images on the basis of their properties. As the feature extracted from a query is low level, it is extremely difficult for user to provide an appropriate example in based query. To overcome these problems and reach higher accuracy in CBIR system, providing user with relevance feedback is famous for provide promising solutio

Semi-Supervised Method of Multiple Object Segmentation with a Region Labeling...sipij
Efficient and efficient multiple object segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. In this work; we address a method to effectively discover a user’s concept when multiple objects of interest are involved in content based image retrieval. The proposed method incorporate a framework for multiple object retrieval using semi-supervised method of similar region merging and flood fill which models the spatial and appearance relations among image pixels. To improve the effectiveness of similarity based region merging we propose a new similarity based object retrieval. The users only need to roughly indicate the after which steps desired objects contour is obtained during the automatic merging of similar regions. A novel similarity based region merging mechanism is proposed to guide the merging process with the help of mean shift technique and objects detection using region labeling and flood fill. A region R is merged with its adjacent regions Q if Q has highest similarity with Q (using Bhattacharyya descriptor) among all Q’s adjacent regions. The proposed method automatically merges the regions that are initially segmented through mean shift technique, and then effectively extracts the object contour by merging all similar regions. Extensive experiments are performed on 12 object classes (224 images total) show promising results.

Improving the Accuracy of Object Based Supervised Image Classification using ...CSCJournals
A lot of research has been undertaken and is being carried out for developing an accurate classifier for extraction of objects with varying success rates. Most of the commonly used advanced classifiers are based on neural network or support vector machines, which uses radial basis functions, for defining the boundaries of the classes. The drawback of such classifiers is that the boundaries of the classes as taken according to radial basis function which are spherical while the same is not true for majority of the real data. The boundaries of the classes vary in shape, thus leading to poor accuracy. This paper deals with use of new basis functions, called cloud basis functions (CBFs) neural network which uses a different feature weighting, derived to emphasize features relevant to class discrimination, for improving classification accuracy. Multi layer feed forward and radial basis functions (RBFs) neural network are also implemented for accuracy comparison sake. It is found that the CBFs NN has demonstrated superior performance compared to other activation functions and it gives approximately 3% more accuracy.

Object segmentation plays an important role in human visual perception, medical image processing and
content based image retrieval. It provides information for recognition and interpretation. This paper uses
mathematical morphology for image segmentation. Object segmentation is difficult because one usually
does not know a priori what type of object exists in an image, how many different shapes are there and
what regions the image has. To carryout discrimination and segmentation several innovative segmentation
methods, based on morphology are proposed. The present study proposes segmentation method based on
multiscale morphological reconstructions. Various sizes of structuring elements have been used to segment
simple and complex shapes. It enhances local boundaries that may lead to improve segmentation accuracy.
The method is tested on various datasets and results shows that it can be used for both interactive and
automatic segmentation.

Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement
technique basically enhances the foreground information and retains the background and improve the
overall contrast of an image. In some case the background of an image hides the structural information of
an image. This paper proposes an algorithm which enhances the foreground image and the background
part separately and stretch the contrast of an image at inter-object level and intra-object level and then
combines it to an enhanced image. The results are compared with various classical methods using image

In the proposed segmentation algorithm, depth and RGB data are mapped together. Color, texture, XYZ world coordinates, and normal-, surface-, and graph-based segmentation index features are then generated for each pixel point. These attributes are used to cluster similar points together and segment the image. The inclusion of new depth-related features provided improved segmentation performance over RGB-only algorithms by resolving illumination and occlusion problems that cannot be handled using graph-based segmentation algorithms, as well as accurately identifying pixels associated with the main structure components of rooms (walls, ceilings, floors). Since each segment is a potential object or structure, the output of this algorithm is intended to be used for object recognition. The algorithm has been tested on commercial building images and results show the usability of the algorithm in real time applications.
The efficiency and quality of a feature descriptor are critical to the user experience of many computer vision applications. However, the existing descriptors are either too computationally expensive to achieve real-time performance, or not sufficiently distinctive to identify correct matches from a large database with various transformations. In this paper, we propose a highly efficient and distinctive binary descriptor, called local difference binary (LDB). LDB directly computes a binary string for an image patch using simple intensity and gradient difference tests on pair wise grid cells within the patch. A multiple-gridding strategy and a salient bit-selection method are applied to capture the distinct patterns of the patch at different spatial granularities. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to the existing state-of-the-art binary descriptors, primarily designed for speed, LDB has similar construction efficiency, while achieving a greater accuracy and faster speed for mobile object recognition and tracking tasks.
Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.
A Survey of Image Segmentation based on Artificial Intelligence and Evolution...IOSR Journals
Abstract : In image analysis, segmentation is the partitioning of a digital image into multiple regions (sets of
pixels), according to some homogeneity criterion. The problem of segmentation is a well-studied one in
literature and there are a wide variety of approaches that are used. Different approaches are suited to different
types of images and the quality of output of a particular algorithm is difficult to measure quantitatively due to
the fact that there may be much correct segmentation for a single image. Image segmentation denotes a process
by which a raw input image is partitioned into nonoverlapping regions such that each region is homogeneous
and the union of any two adjacent regions is heterogeneous. A segmented image is considered to be the highest
domain-independent abstraction of an input image. Image segmentation is an important processing step in many
image, video and computer vision applications. Extensive research has been done in creating many different
approaches and algorithms for image segmentation, but it is still difficult to assess whether one algorithm
produces more accurate segmentations than another, whether it be for a particular image or set of images, or
more generally, for a whole class of images.

Object detection for service robot using range and color features of an imageIJCSEA Journal
In real-world applications, service robots need to locate and identify objects in a scene. A range sensor
provides a robust estimate of depth information, which is useful to accurately locate objects in a scene. On
the other hand, color information is an important property for object recognition task. The objective of this
paper is to detect and localize multiple objects within an image using both range and color features. The
proposed method uses 3D shape features to generate promising hypotheses within range images and
verifies these hypotheses by using features obtained from both range and color images.
We presents a technique for moving objects extraction. There are several different approaches for moving object extraction, clustering is one of object extraction method with a stronger teorical foundation used in many applications. And need high performance in many extraction process of moving object. We compare K-Means and Self-Organizing Map method for extraction moving objects, for performance measurement of moving object extraction by applying MSE and PSNR. According to experimental result that the MSE value of K-Means is smaller than Self-Organizing Map. It is also that PSNR of K-Means is higher than Self-Organizing Map algorithm. The result proves that K-Means is a promising method to cluster pixels in moving objects extraction.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present a detailed step by step method for classification of high resolution
satellite imagery into defined classes such as high dense vegetation, water, wet land, Agricultural land etc.,
using fuzzy rule set. In this area, object based analysis is used for image classification. An Objectoriented
approach isbased on the segmentation that is being followed for information extraction of variety of thematic
information from high-resolution satelliteimagery. In this method, fuzzy rule set is defined for every class based
on the class hierarchy; every defined class is assigned associated segments with high similarity degree, using
eCognition Software. Object-oriented classification rule set provide a complete accurate and efficient method of
information extraction. In compared the object-oriented with traditional pixel-based classification and proved
that object-oriented method has provided high accuracy classification. Nearest Neighbor (NN) classification
method was used to discriminate the land cover classes. The overall accuracy is obtained 99.99% and kappa
coefficient obtained 99% for the satellite image of Landsat-8.
Keyword: Classification, eCognition, Fuzzy rule based, High resolution satellite image, Segmentation.
I. Introduction
Landsat TM imagery is the most common data source for land-cover classification, and much previous
research has explored methods to improve classification performance, including the use of advanced
classification options such as neural network, extraction and classification of homogeneous objects. Historically,
remote sensing imagery has been an important source for the extraction of land use/cover information.In[1]
remotely sensed data are widely having been using for land cover classification in order to
environmentmonitoringand natural resources and urban areamonitoring. High resolution satellite imagery offers
a new quality of detailed information. When the image resolution increases, the spectral variability also
increases, which can affect the accuracy of further classification. In object based image classification, an image
is divided into non overlapping segments which are then assigned to different classes using specific method.
Object based image analysis is a new method that not only uses spectral data but also use spatial data. In this
method, fuzzy logic is defined for every class based on the class hierarchy; every class is assigned associated
segments with high similarity degree, using eCognition developer 8.9 Software [2]. The main motivation is on
construction fuzzy membership function for information extraction. Vegetation extraction methods are probably
among the most straightforward object identification techniques in remote sensing.
Object based image classification [3] deliberates the group of pixels as one segment for analysis. There
are two traditional methods for information extraction from remote sensing images viz. Pixel based approach
and object based approach [1]. Pixel-based supervised image classification recognizes the class of each pixel in
image [4] data by comparing the n-dimensional data vector of each pixel with the prototype vector of each class.
The main disadvantage of the pixel based approach is that it does not consider the spatial and contextual
information of the pixel.Image classification is completely based on the pixel spectral information [3] [4].
Texture information is necessary for producing the accurate classification results.Satellite images with operate
spatial resolution also contains rich amount of texture information [17] that can be efficiently applied for the
purpose of extraction of various earth features.
II. Study Area And Data
This paper deals with object-oriented approach that takes into account the form, textures, scale and
spectral information. This method was implemented using the Landsat-8, OLI (Operational Land Imager)
satellite image courtesy of the U.S. Geological survey covering the part of Sunder ban (West Bengal), India,
acquired in December 2014. Generally the OLI requirements specified a sensor that collects image data for nine
spectral bands with a spatial resolution of 30m (15 panchromatic bands) over a 185 km swath from the nominal
705 km LDCM spacecraft altitude. Landsat satellite image comprise a Panchromatic band (PAN) and four
multispectral (MS) bands Blue, Green, Red, Near-infrared (NIR), all of these are used in this study. The original
satellite image shown in fig 1.Object-oriented analysis has been executed using eCognition software.

III. Methodology
Object oriented approach to image analysis, include three processes: image segmentation, class
hierarchy or fuzzy classification and establishing class membership functions [5]. Segmentation [7] is the
subdivision of an image into separated regions. In this paper the image is classified into six major classes: High
Dense Vegetation, Low Dense Vegetation, Wet land, Agricultural land. Fuzzy classification states an idea that at
the same time anobject belongs to different categories and degree of this belongingness defined by membership
value which is lies between 0 and 1 to classify the desired high resolution image specifically. During image
segmentation the pixels that are similar in spectral context are grouped into meaningful image object and this
process continues to
Fig.2 Flowchart for presented method
A subjective degree to obtain desired objects [8]. The desirable thresholds of the parameters used in
classification are determined. In this hierarchal classification, first water is extracted then, from water and
unclassified data, high dense vegetation is extracted .After that all other classification done, respectively. Fig 2
shows the flow chart of the presented method.

IV. Object Oriented Classification Approach
The eCognition software tools offer various object based classification approach that begins with initial
image segmentation process to segment the remote sensing image into homogeneous image object followed by
fuzzy classification based on the value of membership function.
A. Image Segmentation
Object-based image classification is based on image segmentation [7], which is procedure of dividing
an image into separated homogenous non –overlapping regions based on the pixel gray values, texture [17], or
other adjunct data [. Multi-resolution segmentation [15] is one of the most popular segmentation methods.In
multi-resolution segmentation, there are three parameters to be defined: scale parameter, shape parameter and
compactness [10]. The default values for shape and compactness are used for initial segmentation, which is 0.1
and 0.5 respectively. Scale parameter is also defined so that the resulting segments are smaller than real objects.
In proposed method scale, parameter is 25.Multi-resolution segmentation algorithm, which sequentially merge
existing image, objects. It is a bottom up segmentation based on a pairwise region merging technique [12].
Multi-resolution segmentation is an optimization process, which, for a given number of image objects, derogates
the mean heterogeneity and maximizes their respective homogeneity. Spectral heterogeneity [12] can be
calculated by summation of the standard deviations of weighted spectral values in each layer:
hs = Wa
n
a=0 σa (1)
Wherehs=spectral heterogeneity;
n=number of band;
σa=standard deviation of digital number in spectral band;
Wa=weight assigned to a spectral band;
For deviation reduction from smooth or compact shape the spectral heterogeneity criterion are mixed together.
hsf =
L
p
(2)
Where hsf =spatial heterogeneity fractal factor;
L=length of border;
p=number of image pixel;
During the procedure of multi resolution segmentation, spatial and shape features are also taken into condition
along with the spectral characteristics. The shape parameter is composed of compactness heterogeneity and the
smoothness heterogeneity [9]. The mathematical equation [5] for calculating the heterogeneity criteria can be
expressed as shown in equation
f = Wcolor ∗ hcolor + 1 − Wcolor ∗ hshape (3)
hshape = Wcompact ∗ hcompact + (1 − Wcompact ) ∗ hsmooth (4)
Where, Wcolor denotes the weight of spectrum information
hcolor denotes the spectrum heterogeneity
hshape denotes the shape heterogeneity
Wcompact denotes compact weight
hcompact denotes compact heterogeneity
hsmooth denotes the smoothness heterogeneity
hcompact = nmerge ∗

) (6)
Multi-resolution segmentation merges a number of pixels into one image object in a reasonable way;
there are a large number of features outside the simple spectral values, which can be used for the description of
image objects, such as form or texture [6].
(1) Form features
(2) Texture features
(3) The relations between networked image objects
The feature [9] resolution assigns the distinctive properties of image objects to the respective classes.
In this paper, we assign the different characteristic of each class .The feature definition of classes is structured
hierarchically.

DOI: 10.9790/0661-17344752 www.iosrjournals.org 50 | Page
B. Fuzzy Classification
In pixel based classification methods such as minimum distance method, each segment in the image
will have an attribute equal to 0 or 1. In fuzzy rule classification[4], rather of a binary decision-making the
possibility of each pixel belonging to a define class is considered, which is defined using a membership
function.[7] A membership degree values ranging from 0 to 1.Where 1 means belonging to the class and 0
means not belonging to the class[8].
When implementing fuzzy rule [7] ensures that the boundaries are not crisp the thresholds any more,
but fuzzy membership functions within which all parameter value will have a precisepossibility to assigned to a
define class are used. Appending more parameters to this image classification, for example, using NDVI and
NIR band for every vegetation image classification, better results will be reached. Using fuzzy rule [13], image
classification accuracy is less medium to the thresholds.
In the proposed method, the specifications of each object are tested using the fuzzy rules [3] defined for
each class based on the class hierarchy mentioned in figure 1.The parameters, which are used for object-based
image classification they are Longer wave length visible and near-infrared (NIR) radiation is absorbed more by
water than shorter visible wavelengths.Thus water mostly appears blue or green due to stronger reflectance at
these shorter wavelengths and darker if viewed at red or NIR wavelengths NDVI and NIR is good for water and
vegetation classification[17].Vegetation extraction is one of the most straightforward methods in image
classification. In this proposed method, two parameters are used for vegetation and water body’s
detection.NDVI and near infrared(NIR) ratio, which are explained in this section.NDVI: Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a proper tool for vegetation extraction. NDVI compare reflectivity of NIR and Red
wavelength bands. NDVI has always range between -0.9 to +0.9.NDVI can be calculated as:
NDVI =
(meanNIR −meanRed )
(meanNIR +meanRd )
(7)
The value of the NDVI and the NIR ratio in vegetated areas slightly differ from one image to another.
Generally, the NDVI values for vegetation are around -0.2 to 0.4 and the NIR ratio is around 10 to 30,
depending on the density of vegetation.
V. Result And Analysis
A. Multi-Resolution Segmentation
Multi resolution segmentation approaches [15] the main concern in the framework of object-based
classification. All the parameters are set based on data rule set[8]. In this method all image object layer weight
are equal to 1.The homogeneity criterion for compactness and shape are set as default value to 0.5 and 0.1[13]
respectively. The scale parameter is 25 in proposed method. The resulting segmentation image is shown in fig
3(scale parameter is 5, 10 and 25). The parameters of the segmentation, as used in eCognition developer [16]
were the following:

B. The Results Of Classification And Assessment Of Accuracy
After the segmentation step, we classify the image object based on certain threshold condition. There
are two approach image classification in eCognition software tool a Nearest Neighbor (NN) classifier and
membership function. In order to classify water feature from other regions, assign class algorithm will be
evaluated with NDVI <=25 followed by region merging algorithm. Merge region algorithm [12] merge all the
neighboring image object of a class into one larger object. The class hierarchy is created consisting five classes:
water, low dense vegetation, high dense vegetation, wet land, agricultural land. Class hierarchy is shown in
figure 4.

Fig.4 Classification of Land Cover Based on Object Oriented Classification and Class Hierarchy
This section presents the results of application of the genetic fuzzy object-based technique [11] on the
study area.Through the methods above-mentioned, the suitable parameters were found. Making use of the NIR
ratio and border contrast NIR >-2 from water to unclassified area on NIR band, the water could be extracted
from the Level 1.Assign member functions with nearest neighbor method on the basis of the image object, we
could get the information of water body, wet land and green vegetation. The results of object-oriented
classification were compared with the reference data and Google earth. The land cover classes of sample points
were also investigated and used as references to compare against the class assignment by the above methods
[14]. The image classification accuracy of the results has been calculated with reference to the Training or Test
Areas (TTA) mask which is produced from the original image. Accuracy assessment is a very important step of
the object based image Classification. In this presented method, Error matrix has been used to calculate
theclassificationaccuracy.

Using the manual classification result as sample information, the confusion matrix is generated for the present
method [17]. The overall accuracy is 0.99. The confusion matrix was used to make an accuracy rating for the
result of the information extraction. The classification result displayed in a confusion matrix. The confusion
matrix is calculated by the position of each object and classification of the corresponding image. The accuracies
for agricultural land and water extraction in this paper are high as other classes. From the experiment, it can be
seen that with newly arisen fuzzy [11] based object oriented approach, the classification accuracy has been
improved. The error matrix is generated for the classified image and a general view of image is shown in Table I

VI. Conclusion
The present study shows that remote sensing based land cover/use mapping is more effective. The high
resolution satellite data such as Landsat TM and ETM+ are good source to offer data correctly. The object-
oriented approach, together with spectral and spatial feature, such as shape, texture, etc., was used to extract
green vegetation information. Using the e-Cognition Developer 8.9, the multi resolution segmentation
parameters (scale 25, shape 0.2 and compactness 0.8) were used to carry segmentation and create a classification
method and to use the nearest- neighbor and fuzzy membership functions to extract land cover information from
images. The method and rules in paper is helpful to the classification of high-resolution images, and in it, the
rule set is simple and efficient to information extraction. The object-oriented method demonstrated to be more
wide-ranging, more precise and more accurate compared with the traditional classification methods.
