RandomForest-Classification

This script is for classification of remote sensing multi-band images using shape files as input for training and validation.

I am using Anaconda (Python 3.8) and the following packages:

GDAL package from OSGEO.
OGR
scikit learn
(pandas/numpy/matplotlib/seaborn/...)

Please cite my script, if you use it:

NEW RELEASE!!! Maptor 1.4beta

Finally, we are pleased to inform you, that our brand new software Maptor has now been released as a beta version (2020-11-11).

the software is able to apply random forest classification and regression on remote sensing data

Maptor

Please download and test Maptor 1.4beta here!

Classifcation_script.py - python script

preparing data and adapting script

prepare remote sensing image in tif format
training and validation data as (GIS) shape files (Polygones)
IMPORTANT!!! -> classes as integer numbers (do not use class names as strings)
IMPORTANT!!! -> the attribute name as well as the number of every class have to be the same in the training and vaildation shape file
IMPORTANT!!! -> image and shapes must have the same CRS (coordinate reference system e.g. UTM33N WGS84)
Change/Adapt all information in Section: INPUT INFORMATION

Choose the number of trees for the Random Forest (default = 500)
Choose how many CPU-cores you want to use or processing (n_cores = -1 -> uses all available cores)
Define directories of the input image and the traing/validation.shp
Define the name of the attribute
Define target directories for classification.tif and report.txt

EXAMPLE:

This example uses a 14 bands remote sensing dataset and 8 classes as training and validation. Finaly, you get a tif file as your classification image and a report.txt as well as many outputs in your python console! During the process you will also see several plots...
