Abstract

Segmentation is one of the most important operations in Computer Vision. Partition of the image in several domain-independent components is important in several practical machine learning solutions involving visual data. In the specific problem of finding anomalies in aerial images of forest regions, this can be specially important, as a multilevel classification solution can demand that each type of terrain and other components of the image are inspected by different classification algorithms or parameters. This work compares several common classification algorithms and assess their reliability on segmenting aerial images of rain forest regions as a first step into a multi-level classification solution. Finally, we draw conclusions based on the experiments using real images from a publicly available dataset, comparing the results of those classification algorithms for segmenting this kind of images.
