Training and validation dataset optimization for Earth observation classification accuracy improvement
Potočná, Barbora ; Kupková, Lucie (advisor) ; Potůčková, Markéta (referee)
This thesis deals with training dataset and validation dataset for Earth observation classification accuracy improvement. Experiments with training data and validation data for two classification algorithms (Maximum Likelihood - MLC and Support Vector Machine - SVM) are carried out from the forest-meadow landscape located in the foothill of the Giant Mountains (Podkrkonoší). The thesis is base on the assumption that 1/3 of training data and 2/3 of validation data is an ideal ratio to achieve maximal classification accuracy (Foody, 2009). Another hypothesis was that in a case of SVM classification, a lower number of training point is required to achieve the same or similar accuracy of classification, as in the case of the MLC algorithm (Foody, 2004). The main goal of the thesis was to test the influence of proportion / amount of training and validation data on the classification accuracy of Sentinel - 2A multispectral data using the MLC algorithm. The highest overal accuracy using the MLC classification algorithm was achieved for 375 training and 625 validation points. The overal accuracy for this ratio was 72,88 %. The theory of Foody (2009) that 1/3 of training data and 2/3 of validation data is an ideal ratio to achieve the highest classification accuracy, was confirmed by the overal accuracy and...
