Abstract

Segmentation is a process of partitioning an image space into some nonoverlapping meaningful homogeneous regions. The success of an image analysis system depends on the quality of segmentation. Two broad approaches to segmentation of remotely sensed images are gray level thresholding and pixel classification [1]. Multispectral nature of most remote sensing images make pixel classification the natural choice for segmentation.
