In order to manage river bank, we propose a method to classify vegetation in river band by Support Vector Machine (SVM) on the basis of texture information. The method comprises three steps: detection of vegetation, initial classification by SVM, and reclassification to reduce noises. The results for 38 images obtained by the Akita Office of River and National Highway show that the proposed method using both texture information and RGB components can accurately classify grasses and harmful vegetation in comparison with a case using the RGB original components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
