Transferring Deep Belief Networks for the Classification of LANDSAT8 Remote Sensing Imagery

Abstract

This paper studies the structure and characteristics of LANDSAT8 OLI data, and transfers Deep Belief Networks model to OLI datasets. Firstly, the sub-sampling window is used to filter the pretraining data, which reduces the calculation cost of the hidden layer feature representation of the model. The parameters of each layer of DBN are trained forward, optimization parameters are used to make the error converge to a low value in back propagation. Finally, the activation function is used to reduce the dimension of the hidden layer of the model, and the output vector is used as the global feature representation of the image. Running DBN to complete the classification of LANDSAT8 remote sensing image in the study area, the experimental results show that the model has completed the classification and achieved high user accuracy and reliability in the case of that all types of the wetlands have similar spectral characteristics. The conclusion is that the pretrained features can be well applied to the LANDSAT8 remote sensing datasets. The accuracy is improved within the scope of cost calculation, and the local minina problem will also occur in deepening model.
