Accuracy Assessment of Satellite Image Classification Depending on Training Sample

The paper presents a method of predicting classification accuracy of remote sensing data by means of training set analysis. Various sampling plans were applied to satellite image and its complete ground truth to derive different training sets. The quality of these training sets was determined by qua...

Various sampling plans were applied to satellite image and its complete ground truth to derive different training sets. The quality of these training sets was determined by quantifying the similarity of the training set distributions to the ones of the entire satellite image.
