Abstract

This paper addresses a new classification technique: partially supervised classification (PSC), which is used to identify a specific land-cover class of interest from a remotely sensed image by using unique training samples belong to a specifically selected class. This paper also presents and discusses a novel Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm for PSC. Its training set includes labeled samples belong to the class of interest and unlabeled samples of all classes randomly selected from a remotely sensed image. Moreover, all unlabeled samples are assumed to be training samples of other classes and each of them is assigned a weighting factor indicating the likelihood of this assumption; hence, the algorithm is so-called 'Weighted Unlabeled Sample SVM' (WUS-SVM). Experimental results with both simulated and real data sets indicate that the proposed PSC method is more robust than 1-SVM and has comparable accuracy to a standard SVM.
