NDVI AND CUSTOMIZED CNN FOR LAND COVER SATELLITE IMAGE CLASSIFICATION

The efficient and the simplest deep learning algorithm of image classification is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In this paper we developed a customized CNN architecture for the classification of multi-spectral images from SAT-4 datasets. The sets Near-Infrared (NIR) band information as it can sense vegetation health. The domain knowledge of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) motivated us to utilize Red and NIR spectral bands together in the second level of experimentation for the classification.
