Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of performance of several types of the ARTMAP neural network. The performance of the networks is analyzed in the task of classification of satellite images obtained by remote sensing. The analysis is concentrated on the dependence of classification accuracy on the difference in cluster type preferably identified by each of the classifiers. Three types of ARTMAP classifier are compared: fuzzy ARTMAP, Gaussian ARTMAP, and Extended Gaussian ARTMAP The main difference among these classifiers is in the way they determine/represent individual clusters in feature space. Best results are obtained for Extended Gaussian ARTMAP, a modification of the Gaussian ARTMAP neural network that preferably identifies Gaussian-distributed clusters.
