Polarization SAR image classification based on CNN and SVM

Abstract

The invention discloses a polarization SAR image classification method based on CNN and SVM, and mainly aims to solve the problem of the existing polarization SAR image classification method that the classification precision is low. The method comprises the steps as follows: (1) inputting a to-be-classified polarization SAR image after filtering; extracting and normalizing the original feature of each pixel point based on a polarization coherence matrix and by taking the neighborhood into consideration; training an AE network, and obtaining the parameter of a CNN convolution layer through softmax fine-tuning; setting a CNN pooling layer as average pooling, and determining the parameter of the CNN pooling layer; and sending the features of CNN learning to an SVM for classification to obtain the classification result of the polarization SAR image. Compared with the existing methods, the spatial correlation of the image is fully considered, a new neighborhood processing method is proposed based on CNN, features more conductive to polarization SAR image classification can be extracted, the classification accuracy is obviously improved, and the method can be used for polarization SAR image surface feature classification and object identification.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Unsupervised classification methods include: H/α unsupervised classification proposed by Cloude et al., which obtains scattering entropy H and average scattering angle α characteristic parameters through Cloude target decomposition, and performs eight classifications on targets according to the range of these two parameters. In this method, the classification boundary is fixed and the division of regions is too arbitrary, and only the two parameters H and α are used, and the polarization information is not fully utilized, resulting in low classification accuracy; Lee et al. proposed the H method based on Cloude target decomposition and Wishart classifier. /α-Wishart unsupervised classification method, which adds Wishart iteration on the basis of the original H/α classification, which makes up for the defects of the fixed boundary of H/α classification, but this method cannot well maintain all kinds of polarization scattering Characteristics; Lee et al. proposed a polarimetric SAR
