  1. Remote SensingClassification Accuracy

  2. 1. Select Test Areas • Selecte test areas in an image to evaluate the accuracy of a classification • Test areas should be representative categorically and geographically • Sampling methods: uniform wall-to-wall, random, stratified random sampling • Sample size: 50 - 100 pixels each category

  4. 2. Error Assessment • A classification is not complete until its accuracy is assessed • Error matrix • KHAT statistics

  5. Error Matrix • Also called confusion matrix and contingency table • Compares the ground truth and the results of the classification for the test areas • Can be used to evaluate the result of classifying the training set pixels and the results of classifying the actual full-scene

  10. KHAT Statistics • A measure of the difference between the actual agreement between reference data and the results of classification, and the chance agreement between the reference data and a random classifier

  11. KHAT Statistics ^      observed accuracy - chance agreement k  = --------------------------------------------------              1 - chance agreement • The KHAT value usually ranges from 0 to 1 • 0 indicates the classification is not any better than a random assignment of pixels • 1 indicates that the classification is 100% improvement from random assignment

KHAT Statistics r          r       N × S xii -  S (xi+  ×  x+i) ^         i=1       i=1k = ----------------------------------- r           N2  -  S (xi+  ×  x+i) i=1 r - number of rows in the error matrix xii - number of obs in row i and column i (the diagonal cells) xi+ - total obs of row i x+i - total obs of column i N - total of obs in the matrix

  14. KHAT Statistics • KHAT considers both omission and commission errors
