Description
Summary:Subpixel mapping (SPM) algorithms effectively estimate the spatial distribution of different land cover classes within mixed pixels. This paper proposed a new subpixel mapping method based on image structural self-similarity learning. Image structure self-similarity refers to similar structures within the same scale or different scales in image itself or its downsampled image, which widely exists in remote sensing images. Based on the similarity of image block structure, the proposed method estimates higher spatial distribution of coarse-resolution fraction images and realizes subpixel mapping. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more accurate than existing fast subpixel mapping algorithms.
