Abstract

Application of neural networks to classification of remote sensing data is discussed. Conventional two-layer backpropagation is found to give good results in classification of remote sensing data but is not efficient in training. A more efficient variant, based on conjugate-gradient optimization, is used for classification of multisourcc remote sensing and geographic data and very-highdimensional data. The conjugate-gradient neural networks give excellent performance in classification of multisource data but do not compare as well with statistical methods in classification of very-high-dimcnsional data.
