The invention discloses a remote sensing image classification method based on image block active learning and belongs to the technical field of image information processing. The method comprises the following steps of remote sensing image blocking, initial sample selection, classifier model training, active learning sample selection, training sample set and classifier model updating, classification process iteration; image block classification prediction, and conversion of a block classification result into a pixel classification result. The remote sensing image classification method serves an image block as a research object, compared with a traditional remote sensing image classification method based on active learning of pixel points, under the same experiment condition, the classification result of the image is more accurate, a block sample screened out by the active learning can more rapidly and accurately conduct manual annotating, constitutive properties of the classified image are stronger, spots directly brought by classification of the pixel points are greatly reduced, and the better visual effect is brought to people.
