Abstract

Remotely sensed images serve as a valuable source of present and archival information since they provide the geographical distribution of natural and cultural features both spatially and temporally, as well as objects on the earth’s surface. Three machine learning classifiers, namely artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machines (SVM), and decision tree (DT) algorithms, were applied in order to classify the Sentinel-2A data over the city of Soran. The differences in classification accuracies were evaluated by the confusion matrix. The supervised ANNs obtained the most accurate classification accuracy as compared with support SVM and DTs algorithms. Furthermore, the overall accuracy assessment of ANN was 90%, with SVM at 65%, while DTs were 60%. It can be concluded that ANNs can provide the best classification machine learning technique for land cover classification.
