Sub-pixel mapping of remote sensed images based on evolutionary agent algorithm[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2009,13(1):60-66. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20090108.
mixed pixels are always present.Soft classification defines the membership degree of these pixels for different land cover classes.Sub-pixel mapping is a technique designed to use the information contained in these mixed pixels to obtain a sharpened image.Pixels are divided into sub-pixels
representing the land cover class fractions.Evolutionary agent algorithms
combined with the assumption of spatial dependence
assign a location to every sub-pixel through two reactive behaviors which are breeding and diffusion.In the paper
the algorithm is tested on degraded synthetic and real imagery.The obtained accuracy measures are higher compared with conventional hard classifications
so it is proved to be a simple and effective method for sub-pixel mapping.
