This study introduces an enhanced probabilistic neural network (PNN) for classifying polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images using combined features. The novel algorithm significantly improves classification accuracy compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Remote Sensing
  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) imagery offers rich information for land cover classification.
  • Existing classification methods often face challenges with high dimensionality and feature optimization.
  • Hybrid approaches combining diverse feature sets can improve classification performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel hybrid classifier for PolSAR image classification.
  • To enhance the performance of a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) through algorithmic improvements.
  • To validate the proposed method's effectiveness using benchmark datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Feature extraction using span image, H/A/α decomposition, and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) texture features.
