The object-oriented information extraction technique was used to improve classification accuracy,and addressed the problem that HJ-1 CCD remote sensing images have only four spectral bands with moderate spatial resolution.We used two key techniques:the selection of optimum image segmentation scale and the development of an appropriate object-oriented information extraction strategy.With the principle of minimizing merge cost of merging neighboring pixels/objects,we used spatial autocorrelation index Moran’s I and the variance index to select the optimum segmentation scale.The Nearest Neighborhood(NN) classifier based on sampling and a knowledge-based fuzzy classifier were used in the object-oriented information extraction strategy.In this classification step,feature optimization was used to improve information extraction accuracy using reduced data dimension.These two techniques were applied to land cover information extraction for Shanghai city using a HJ-1 CCD image.Results indicate that the information extraction accuracy of the object-oriented method was much higher than that of the pixel-based method.
