LI Liang, GONG Yan, LI Xue, et al. Change detection based on similarity measurement of object histogram using high-resolution remote sensing imagery[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2014, 18(1): 139-153. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20133009.
which is excessively dependent on the mean value of each object but failed to use gray distribution information
is deficient in change detection using high-resolution remote sensing images. A new method introducing similarity measurement of object histogram is proposed in this study. First
the similarity measurement of o bjects between different periods is built up by G statistic. Second
the Expectation Maximization( EM) algorithm is used to calculate the related parameters according to the assumption that all similarity measurement values of objects fit a Gaussian Mixture D istribution model. Finally
the Bayesian rule with minimum error rate is applied to get the change / no change results. Experimental results show that the method can get results with higher accuracy in change detection
especially for high-resolution remote sensing images.
