Original Abstract Submitted

a remote sensing classification method based on relative entropy includes: determining sample points of n types of ground objects in a study area and determining series remote sensing parameters; extracting, based on the sample points, remote sensing parameter values to form standard time series plots as a first distribution; taking remote sensing parameter values of to-be-classified pixels as a second distribution, determining, based on the second distribution and the first distribution, kl values of the to-be-classified pixels by using a kl-divergence formula, then obtaining n kl layers; and comparing n kl values of each to-be-classified pixel to classify it to be a type of ground objects with a minimum kl value. the method utilizes variation characteristics of ground objects in series and tightly combines with kl-divergence possessing obvious advantages in measuring probability distribution similarity, thereby achieving better classification and recognition on ground object types and improving classification accuracy.
