Abstract

In this paper, fourteen descriptors are evaluated for urban-rural classification of aerial images. Among these fourteen descriptors, eleven descriptors consist of texture-based, color-based con combination of these two descriptors. Rest three descriptors are based on dictionaries generated using the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) data compression algorithm. The classification is carried out using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with radial basis function as kernel function and KNN algorithm. The performance of these images descriptors are evaluated using accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity. From evaluation results, we conclude the Gabor descriptor combined with Dominant Color descriptor provides better performance, obtaining its accuracy more than 91%.
