A comparison of support vector machine and decision tree classifications using satellite data of Langkawi Island

This study investigates a new approach in image classification. Two classifiers were used to classify SPOT 5 satellite image; Decision Tree (DT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The Decision Tree rules were developed manually based on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Brightness Val...
