Abstract:

In order to research the classification methods of land use/cover based on remote sensing image, the author reviewed the research of remote sensing image classification nearly 30 years at home and abroad, found that the remote sensing image classification methods were miscellaneous. The author also synthetically analyzed current primary image classification methods, on this base, summarized the progress of the classification methods of land use/cover from three aspects: traditional classification methods, improvement of the traditional classification methods, other new classification methods. There was lack of something which needed to be studied further, such as the combination of various classification methods of the land use/cover based on remote sensing image.
