Development of a Standalone Application for Unsupervised Image Classification

ABSTRACT

This project research aimed to develop a standalone computerapplicationfor image classification using Matlab 9.2 by adopting the Rapid Application Development Model (RAD). The software can be used for image preprocessing and image classification. The test run of the software was carried out using acquired LANDSAT image and Google earth image of Federal University of Technology Gidan-Kwano campus. The program was designed to accept the input image in all format for the classification and automatically classified the image by chosen the appropriate method. The outcome of the software was compared with result gotten from the commercial software (ERDAS) and the statistical analysis of the processing time taking for the execution by the two software were affirmed by IBM SPSS software using two ways ANOVA. The outcome of the analysis confirmed that there is no significant different between the classified image by two software using the same method and there is significant different between there time of execution. The ZANNYCLASS 1.0 was able to come to existence by this project research and for efficient and effectiveness of the software its functionality need to be upgraded by further studies.
