Abstract
To accurately segment remote sensing image and automatically determine the number of classes
a Hierarchical Gaussian Mixture Model (HGMM) based remote sensing image segmentation algorithm with self-adaptive number of classes is proposed.In the proposed algorithm
HGMM is defined by the weighted sum of several Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM)
which is used to model the asymmetric
heavy-tailed and multimodal distributions of image. Expectation Maximization (EM) is used to estimate the model parameters. Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is used to solve the optimal number of classes
where penalty term is defined by the weighted number of pixels. To test the feasibility and availability of the proposed algorithm
segmentation experiments are carried out on simulated and panchromatic remote sensing images. Segmentation results are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively
which show that HGMM can accurately model the complicated statistical distributions. The proposed algorithm can obtain high accuracy and has good efficiency
as well as determine the optimal number of classes.
