Abstract
This paper presents a random boosting ensemble (RBE) classifier for remote sensing image classification, which introduces the random projection feature selection and bootstrap methods to obtain base classifiers for classifier ensemble. The RBE method is built based on an improved boosting framework, which is quite efficient for the few-shot problem due to the bootstrap in use. In RBE, kernel extreme machine (KELM) is applied to design base classifiers, which actually make RBE quite efficient due to feature reduction. The experimental results on the remote scene image classification demonstrate that RBE can effectively improve the classification performance, and resulting into a better generalization ability on the 21-class land-use dataset and the India pine satellite scene dataset.
