Satellite Image Classification using Spectral Signature and Deep Learning

Abstract

    When images are customized to identify changes that have occurred using techniques such as spectral signature, which can be used to extract features, they can be of great value. In this paper, it was proposed to use the spectral signature to extract information from satellite images and then classify them into four categories. Here it is based on a set of data from the Kaggle satellite imagery website that represents different categories such as clouds, deserts, water, and green areas. After preprocessing these images, the data is transformed into a spectral signature using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. Then the data of each image is reduced by selecting the top 20 features and transforming them from a two-dimensional matrix to a one-dimensional vector matrix using the Vector Quantization (VQ) algorithm. The data is divided into training and testing. Then it is fed into 23 layers of deep neural networks (DNN) that classify satellite images. The result is 2,145,020 parameters, and the evaluation of performance measures was accuracy = 100%, loopback = 100%, and the result F1 = 100 %.
