Abstract

This paper deals with the evaluation of the performance of a set of classifiers on multispectral imagery with low dimensionality and low spatial and spectral resolutions. The original Landsat TM images and other 4 transformed sets are classified by 5 supervised and 2 unsupervised methods. The results for 7 land cover classes are compared and the performances of the methods for each set of input data are discussed.
