Binary Classification

Instructions for use

Binary classification utilizes spectral and spatial information of various land cover types in remote sensing images to classify a specific type of land cover feature using deep learning algorithms. It determines whether each pixel in the image belongs to the category of interest, generating a binary raster dataset with values of 0 and 1, where 0 represents non-interest categories and 1 represents the category of interest.

The binary classification function allows for fine-grained interpretation of images at the pixel level. The flexibility of the raster results enables optimization of classification outcomes through a series of subsequent post-processing steps. The resulting raster data can also be converted into vector data for further analysis.

Binary classification is commonly used to identify distinct single land cover types, such as roads, rivers, and buildings. It allows for the calculation of information on the location, boundaries, and area of the category of interest.

Parameter Description

Parameter name Default Parameter description Parameter Type
File Type Dataset Specify File Type. Select Dataset or Folder Type. Boolean
Model File   Specify Model File (*.sdm) for Binary Classification String
Tile overlap (pixel) 0 Specify a Tile overlap (pixel) value to reduce the problem of inadequate prediction of slice edge data. The larger the slice overlap, the longer it takes to infer the entire image Integer
Amount of single step operation 1 Specifies the number of pictures to process at one time when reasoning Integer
Processor type GPU Specifies the processor type String
GPU number 0 Input the GPU number to support multi-card reasoning, that is, input multiple GPU numbers. If "0, 1, 2" is entered, it will automatically become "012" String
Other Parameter Settings
(Optional)
false Check this box to set the Bounds Dataset/Datasource parameter. Boolean
Result Datasource   Datasource where the specified Dataset storing the result resides Datasource
Result Dataset binclassify_result The specified Resulting dataset name. String
