Abstract :
Emerging new sensors deliver an ever increasing amount of remote sensing data. Classification still plays a key role in the automatic evaluation of these data. In this paper the characteristics of unsupervised fuzzy classification methods are examined and the results obtained from a section of a Landsat TM scene from the surroundings of Vienna are compared with various supervised classification methods
