Search-based semi-supervised clustering algorithms for change detection in remotely sensed images
Abstract
In real life change detection for remotely sensed images suffers due to the problem of inadequate labeled patterns. When a few labeled patterns can be collected by experts, semi-supervised (learning) clustering can be opted for change detection instead of the unsupervised approach to make full utilization of both labeled and unlabeled patterns. In the present work, a study has been carried out by applying some of the semi-supervised clustering techniques for changed detection. A comparative analysis between K-Means, COP-KMeans, Seeded-KMeans and Constrained-KMeans algorithms is being performed based on the results obtained using two multi-temporal remotely sensed images. It can be concluded from the experiments that the Constrained-KMeans is well suited for changed detection of remotely sensed images under semi-supervised framework.
