Automatic classification for NOAA- AVHRR Data using k-means Algorithm
Keywords:
Classification,K-Means, Accuracy AssignmentAbstract
This study proposes associate an automatic classification algorithm rule for NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)-AVHRR (Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer) data It is well known that land cover conditions in the NOAA AVHRR data are classified into three different classes: ocean, land, and cloud. The algorithm consists of two major approaches: region of interest and classification algorithm. the region of interest extracted from the properties of the multispectral bands. k-means algorithm used detect the three classes. classification of image isn’t complete until an accuracy assessment has been conducted for the classified image. An accuracy assessment compares the information of two sources, i.e. pixels of the classified thematic map with reference image.
