Exercise 10 Postclassification smoothing File: results from exercise 8 Clump and Sieve For generalizing classification images, Sieve is usually run first to remove the isolated pixels based on a size (number of pixels) threshold. Clump is run to add spatial coherency to existing classes by combining adjacent similar classified areas Classification → Post Classification → Sieve Classes Classification → Post Classification → Clump Classes Combine Classes Classification → Post Classification → Combine Classes Classification accuracy assessment Significance A classification is not complete until its accuracy is assessed Classification error matrix Error matrix (confusion matrix, contingency table) Table 7.3 Omission (exclusion) 漏授(該有的沒有) Non-diagonal column elements (e.g. 16 sand pixels were omitted) Commission (inclusion) 誤授(不該有的卻有) Non-diagonal raw elements (e.g. 38 urban pixels + 79 hay pixels were included in corn) Overall accuracy Producer’s accuracy 生產者準確度 Indicate how well training set pixels of the given cover type are classified User’s accuracy 使用者準確度 Indicate the probability that a pixel classified into a given category actually represents that category on the ground Training area accuracies are sometimes used in the literature as an indication of overall accuracy. They should not be! Classification accuracy assessment (cont.) Sampling considerations Test area Different and more extensive than training area Withhold some training areas for postclassification accuracy assessment Being homogeneous, test areas might not provide a valid indication of classification accuracy at the individual pixel level of land cover variability Wall-to-wall comparison Expensive Defeat the whole purpose of remote sensing Random sampling Collect large sample of randomly distributed points ? too expensive and difficult e.g. 3/4 of Taiwan area is covered by The Central mountain Only sample those pixels without influence of potential registration error Several pixels away from field b
