Abstract
Image classification is always one of the most important issues in remote sensing and obtained ‎information from image classification is most widely used in this field and other applications like urban ‎planning, natural resource management, agriculture and etc. The purpose of this study is to assess the ‎performance of multi-layer perceptron neural networks to classify high resolution IKONOS image ‎which covers mainly urban area of Shahriar city which is located in Tehran Province of Iran. The output of a neural network classifier has been compared with the results of support vector machine with the Gaussian kernel function and Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) algorithm which is most commonly used in ‎statistical approach image classification. In the best situation, the classification outputs indicate that ‎neural network algorithm, including 0.8775overall accuracy and 0.82 Kappa Coefficient is more ‎accruable and reliable than both the support vector machine with 0.8557 and 0.8197 and maximum likelihood with 0.7836 and 0.7295 overall accuracy and ‎Kappa Coefficient Respectively. Also results indicate that in these three methods, training data and model parameters play ‎important roles in the classification accuracy.‎
