Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a flexible unsupervised PolSAR land classification system based on quaternion neural networks. The existing PolSAR land classification systems use the feature information necessary for the land classification based on a few scattering models which human beings designed beforehand. However, such methods have limitations in the near future when we expect classification into a large number of land categories. By using quaternion auto-encoder and quaternion SOM for feature extraction and classification, respectively, our proposed system realizes unsupervised land classification that does not require predefining or learning by human beings. As a result, we can discover even new and more detailed land categories that can not be classified by the existing systems.
