Markov random field (MRF) is widely applied to remote sensing images classification.However,the MRF-based classification method does not take the nonstationarity properties of images into account when it models polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images,and is sensitive to the initial classification.Therefore,this paper proposes a classification method of PolSAR image based on the weighted composite kernel and the triplet Markov field (TMF).Based on the distances between the features of training samples,we compute the kernel weights of the weighted composite kernel for improving the accuracy and popularity of the initial classification.Then,taking the nonstationarity properties of PolSAR images into consideration,the TMF is introduced to model the statistics of real PolSAR images to realize the Bayesian classification.Experiments indicate that the proposed method can obtain higher classification accuracy and smoother homogeneous areas than the MRF-based PolSAR image classification method.Moreover,the proposed method can get more accurate edge location.
