A main problem of hard image segmentation is that, in complex landscapes, such as urban areas, it is very hard to produce meaningful crisp image-objects. This paper proposes a fuzzy approach for.
In this paper a general fuzzy approach for segmentation-based classification is proposed. Traditional segmentation techniques focus on partitioning imagery into image-objects with well-defined boundaries. Instead, the proposed methodology aims to produce and analyze fuzzy image-regions expressing degrees of membership to different target classes.The FIRME method was evaluated in a land-cover classification experiment using high spectral resolution imagery in an urban zone in Bogota, Colombia. Results suggest that in complex environments, fuzzy image segmentation may be a suitable alternative for GEOBIA as it produces higher thematic accuracy than the hard image segmentation and other traditional classifiers.Results show that fuzzy image segmentation can produce good thematic accuracy with little user input. It therefore provides a new and automated technique for produc-ing accurate urban land cover.
This paper proposes fuzzy image segmentation which produces fully overlapping image-regions with indeterminate boundaries that serves as alternative framework for the subsequent image classification.

Image segmentation partitions remote sensing images into image objects before assigning them to categorical land cover classes. Current segmentation methods require users to invest considerable.
Fuzzy image segmentation was proposed recently as an alternative GEOBIA method for conducting discrete land cover classification. In this paper, a variant of fuzzy segmentation is applied for continuous land cover change analysis.
Fuzzy logic was first proposed by Lotfi A. Zadeh of the University of California at Berkeley in a 1965 paper. He elaborated on his ideas in a 1973 paper that introduced the concept of “linguistic variables”, which in this article equates to a variable defined as a fuzzy set.(4).
To verify the texture image segmentation performance of the proposed method, the synthetic texture image segmentation results are shown in Fig. 5.From Fig. 5, we can see that our method could extract the texture features directly during segmentation.The cartoon part u and texture part v are displayed in Fig. 5g and h, respectively. WR method, TVR method, and Gabor based method in have the.
A comparison of pixel and object-based land cover classification: a case study of the Asmara region, Eritrea. experienced some remarkable land cover changes due to urban expansion,. algorithms. Although segmentation is not a new concept, classification using image segmentation has become increasingly significant in recent years.
Both steps, fuzzy segmentation and defuzzification, are implemented here using simple statistical learning methods which require very little user input. The new procedure is tested in a land-cover classification experiment in an urban environment. Results show that the method produces good thematic accuracy.

The segmentation performance of any clustering algorithm is very sensitive to the features in an image, which ultimately restricts their generalisation capability. This limitation was the primary motivation in our investigation into using shape information to improve the generality of these algorithms. Fuzzy shape-based clustering techniques already consider ring and elliptical profiles in.
In, fuzzy borders for image segmentation was used. In, fuzzy segmentation for object-based image classification was adopted. They used a fuzzy classification method on a segmented image to classify large scale areas such as mining fields and transit sites. In, Object-Oriented fuzzy analysis of remote sensing data for GIS-ready information.
The proposed approach for classifying urban land cover is conducted at two image segmentation levels, namely initial and optimal segmentations, and two main procedures, namely preliminary land cover classification and building extraction (see Fig. 2).Preliminary land cover classification serves to extract vegetation and shadow objects at the first segmentation level (i.e. an over segmentation.
Over the past decades, remote sensing has been widely used to map urban land covers. The land cover maps derived from image classification is important for monitoring multi-temporal changes and analyzing socio-ecological issues ().Various image classification approaches (11,12,13,14,15,16) have been developed to classify urban land covers.The classification approaches have been commonly.
