A new algorithm for remotely sensed image texture classification and segmentation

We propose a new algorithm for remotely sensed image texture classification and segmentation in this paper. We observe that the traditional method LSE is unstable in practical applications. This motivates us to develop more stable method. We have proposed the regularization technique to suppress the instability of LSE in previous research. Our contribution in this paper is that we propose a new stable method, which is based on the total variation, abbreviated TV, for reducing instability in texture analysis, and apply which to remotely sensed image texture classification and segmentation. Experiment results on remotely sensed images demonstrate our new algorithm is superior to LSE and seems promising in applications.
