ABSTRACT The robustness and speed of image classification is still a challenging task in satellite image processing. This paper introduces a novel image classification technique that uses the particle filter framework (PFF)-based optimisation technique for satellite image classification. The framework uses a template-matching algorithm, comprising fast marching algorithm (FMA) and level set method (LSM)-based segmentation which assists in creating the initial templates for comparison with other test images. The created templates are trained and used as inputs for the optimisation. The optimisation technique used in this proposed work is multikernel sparse representation (MKSR). The combined execution of FMA, LSM, PFF and MKSR approaches has resulted in a substantial reduction in processing time for various classes in a satellite image which is small when compared with Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Independent Component Discrimination Analysis (ICDA)based image classifications obtained for comparison purposes. This study aims to improve the robustness of image classification based on overall accuracy (OA) and kappa coefficient. The variation of OA with this technique, between different classes of a satellite image, is only10%, whereas that with the SVM and ICDA techniques is more than 50%.
