Abstract

This paper introduces archetypal dictionaries for a self-taught learning framework for the application of landcover classification. Self-taught learning, an unsupervised representation learning method, is exploited to learn low-dimensional and discriminative higher-level features, which are used as input into a classification algorithm. Experiments are conducted using a multi-spectral Landsat 5 TM image of a study area in the north of Novo Progresso located in South America. Our results confirm that self-taught learning with archetypal dictionaries provide features, which can be used as input into a linear logistic regression classifier. The obtained classification accuracies are comparable to kernel-based classifier using the original features.
