In this research, two techniques of pixel-based and object-based image analysis were investigated and compared for providing land use map in arid basin of Mokhtaran, Birjand. Using Landsat satellite imagery in 2015, the classification of land use was performed with three object-based algorithms of supervised fuzzy-maximum likelihood, maximum likelihood, and K-nearest neighbor. Nine combinations...

Uncertain objects, where each feature is represented by multiple observations or a given or fitted probability density function, arise in applications such as sensor networks, moving object databases and medical and biological databases. We propose a methodology to classify uncertain objects based on a new probabilistic distance measure between an uncertain object and a group of uncertain objec...

The nearest neighbor (NN) classifier is well suited for generic object recognition. However, it requires storing the complete training data, and classification time is linear in the amount of data. There are several approaches to improve runtime and/or memory requirements of nearest neighbor methods: Thinning methods select and store only part of the training data for the classifier. Efficient ...

K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is an effective nonparametric classifier that determines the neighbors of a point based only on distance proximity. The classification performance KNN disadvantaged by presence outliers in small sample size datasets and its deteriorates with class imbalance. We propose local Bonferroni Mean Fuzzy K-Nearest Centroid Neighbor (BM-FKNCN) assigns label query dependent neare...

In this paper we evaluate an instance-based spam filter based on the SVM nearest neighbor (SVM-NN) classifier, which combines the ideas of SVM and k-nearest neighbor. To label a message the classifier first finds k nearest labeled messages, and then an SVM model is trained on these k samples and used to label the unknown sample. Here we present preliminary results of the comparison of SVM-NN wi...

land cover information is one of the most important prerequisite in urban management system. in this way remote sensing, as the most economic technology, is mainly used to produce land cover maps. considering the complicated and dense urban areas in third world countries, object based approaches are suggested as an effective image processing technique. the purpose of this paper are the introduc...

The Nearest Neighbor algorithm is one of the simplest and oldest classification techniques. A given collection of historic data (Training Data) of known classification is stored in memory. Then based on the stored knowledge the classification of an unknown data (Test Data) is predicted by finding the classification of the nearest neighbor. For example, if an instance from the test set is presen...
