1.1 Introduction
Currently machine learning algorithms are used everywhere for regression and classification such
as supervised and unsupervised classification, we have to test and evaluate new algorithms for
classification other than remote sensing algorithms such as support vector machine from machine
learning for improvement of accuracy,
Image classification is the way toward allotting pixels of consistent raster picture to predefine
arrive cover classes. It is a complex and tedious process, and the after effect of arrangement is
probably going to be influenced by different components (e.g. nature of input images,
classification methods, algorithm, etc.). Keeping in mind the end goal to enhance the
classification exactness, in this manner, determination of suitable arrangement strategy is
required. Pixel and object-based as well as advanced classification approaches. This object-based
approach considers group of pixels and the geometric properties of image objects. It segments the
imageries into homogenous regions based on neighbouring. Thus, an object-oriented method has
been applied to avoid the mixed pixel troubles.

The minimum distance between two objects, means resolving power to identify not only
presence of two objects but also their properties. There are different resolutions listed below.
1) Spatial
2) Spectral
3) Hyper spectral
4) Radiometric
5) Temporal
1.6.1 Spatial Resolution
It is measure of area or size; it is defined by the size of the pixel on the ground in meters. e.g. 30
M, 15M, 5M, 1M
2) High resolution: - 5M
A multispectral image made up of no of bands. For visualization, grayscale image comes with
one band and combining of different bands at a time as a create colour composite image.
Following Figure shows that three visible bands in multispectral resolution.

Figure 1.4: Hyper spectral resolution
Measure of how many grey levels are measured between pure black. It is expressed in
bits. e.g. 28 means 256 DN values starting from 0 to 255 DN values are present. More no of bits
fine the image and less no of bits coarse image. The below table describe details about bits and
DN values.
The below table tells us about different sensors and their properties such as swath sensor
and radiometric resolution

1.8 Motivation
Currently machine learning algorithms are used everywhere for regression and
classification such as supervised and unsupervised classification, we have to test and evaluate
new algorithms for classification other than remote sensing algorithms such as support vector
machine from machine learning for improvement of accuracy, so we used support vector
machine for classification where we have achieve better accuracy and R Programming Language
for statistical analysis and chart preparation.
