Solution of different scientific, ecological and agricultural tasks with the use of aerospace images comprises a procedure of image classification. Classification is one of the most important procedures. Nowadays many supervised and unsupervised classification methods are applied in remote sensing. The most accurate results are obtained through the use of supervised classification methods. In this paper, there are proposed some new approaches to image classification which are based on supervised classification methods and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Different values of NDVI are noted to correspond to different classes of objects, such as soil, water, roads, sand, green vegetation, oil spills. Application of Vegetation Index is the first step of classification. Using NDVI, it is possible to select special necessary classes. After the application of NDVI, such classification methods as the parallelepiped method, Dempster’s rule, and Inagaki’s combination rule can be used. The current work describes the main advantages of these classification methods. It has been noted that the use of the parallelepiped method allows easy and quick processing of data. The paper also shows that Dempster’s combination rule and Inagaki’s combination rule can deal with inaccurate and incomplete data from different spectral bands. Moreover, these methods can process conflicting information. Dempster-Shafer theory has the advantage of high accuracy and simple calculations. In the paper, there is also considered a numerical example where NDVI and Inagaki’s combination rule has been used for detection and mapping of oil spills. Application of Vegetation Index and such supervised classification rules as the parallelepiped method, Dempster’s rule, Inagaki’s combination rule can be applied in ecological monitoring, mapping of petroleum spills, and solving agricultural tasks.References
