3.4.5.2. Clustering

_images/clustering_tab.png

Clustering

This tab allows for the Clustering of a Band set (complete interface). In particular, K-means method is available.

The spectral signatures are saved along with the classification, and can be saved in the Training input.

3.4.5.2.1. Clustering of band set

Tool symbol and name

Description

Select input band set input_number

select the input Band set (complete interface)

Method radiobutton K-means

select the clustering method K-means

checkbox Distance threshold input_number

if checked, K-means iteration is terminated if distance is lower than threshold

Number of classes input_number

number of desired output classes

Max number of iterations input_number

maximum number of iterations if Distance threshold is not reached

checkbox Use value as NoData input_number

if checked, set the value of NoData pixels, ignored during the calculation

3.4.5.2.2. Seed signatures

Tool symbol and name

Description

radiobutton Seed signatures from band values

radiobutton Use Signature list as seed signatures

radiobutton Use random seed signatures

select one options for seed signatures that start the iteration;

the option Seed signatures from band values divides the spectral space of the Band set (complete interface) to get spectral signatures;

the option Use Signature list as seed signatures uses the spectral signatures checked in ROI & Signature list; the option Use random seed signatures randomly selects the spectral signatures of pixels in the Band set (complete interface)

Distance algorithm radiobutton Minimum Distance radiobutton Spectral Angle Mapping

select Minimum Distance or Spectral Angle Mapping for spectral distance calculation

checkbox Save resulting signatures to Signature list

if checked, save the resulting spectral signatures in the ROI & Signature list

Script script_tool

add this function to the Script (complete interface)

RUN run

run this function
