    Multi-sensor satellite image analysis using niche genetic algorithm for flood assessment
    (2012) Senthilnath, J.; Shreyas, P.B.; Rajendra, R.; Omkar, S.N.; Mani, V.; Diwakar, P.G.
    In this paper, cluster splitting and merging algorithms are used for flood assessment using LISS-III (before flood) and SAR (during flood) images. Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC) is used to determine the optimal number of clusters. Keeping this constraint, the cluster centers are generated using the cluster splitting techniques, namely Mean Shift Clustering (MSC), and Niche Genetic Algorithm (NGA). The merging method is used to group the data points into their respective classes, using the cluster centers obtained from the above techniques. These techniques are applied on the LISS-III and SAR image. Further, the resultant images are overlaid to analyze the extent of the flood in individual land classes. A performance comparison of these techniques (MSC and NGA) is presented. From the results obtained, we deduce that the NGA is efficient. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

    Multi-sensor satellite remote sensing images for flood assessment using swarm intelligence
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Senthilnath, J.; Omkar, S.N.; Mani, V.; Prasad, R.; Rajendra, R.; Shreyas, P.B.
    This paper investigates a new approach for flood evaluation based on multi-sensor satellite images utilizing swarm intelligence techniques. The swarm intelligence techniques used are Genetic Algorithm (GA) for image registration and Niche Particle Swarm Optimization (NPSO) for image clustering. Analysis of satellite images are applied in two stages: Linear Imaging Self Scanning Sensor (LISS-III) image acquired before-flood and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image acquired during-flood. In the first step, SAR image is aligned with LISS-III image using GA. The aligned SAR image (during-flood) is used to extract flooded and non-flooded regions where as LISS-III image (before-flood) is used to classify various land cover regions. For this image clustering is carried out where cluster centers are generated using the cluster splitting technique such as NPSO. The data points are grouped into their respective classes using the merging method. Further, the resultant images are overlaid to analyze the extent of the flood in individual land classes. The performance comparisons of these swarm intelligence techniques with conventional methods are presented. © 2015 IEEE.

    Crop stage classification of hyperspectral data using unsupervised techniques
    (2013) Senthilnath, J.; Omkar, S.N.; Mani, V.; Karnwal, N.; Shreyas, P.B.
    The presence of a large number of spectral bands in the hyperspectral images increases the capability to distinguish between various physical structures. However, they suffer from the high dimensionality of the data. Hence, the processing of hyperspectral images is applied in two stages: dimensionality reduction and unsupervised classification techniques. The high dimensionality of the data has been reduced with the help of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The selected dimensions are classified using Niche Hierarchical Artificial Immune System (NHAIS). The NHAIS combines the splitting method to search for the optimal cluster centers using niching procedure and the merging method is used to group the data points based on majority voting. Results are presented for two hyperspectral images namely EO-1 Hyperion image and Indian pines image. A performance comparison of this proposed hierarchical clustering algorithm with the earlier three unsupervised algorithms is presented. From the results obtained, we deduce that the NHAIS is efficient. © 2008-2012 IEEE.

    Hierarchical clustering approaches for flood assessment using multi-sensor satellite images
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd. michael.wagreich@univie.ac.at, 2019) Senthilnath, J.; Shreyas, P.B.; Rajendra, R.; Sundaram, S.; Kulkarni, S.; Benediktsson, J.A.
    In this paper, hierarchical clustering methods are used on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) (during the flood) and LISS-III (before the flood) data to analyse damage caused by floods. The flooded and non-flooded regions are extracted from the SAR image while different land cover regions are extracted from the LISS-III image. Initially, the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) is implemented to obtain the constraints for the number of clusters. The optimal cluster centres are then computed using hierarchical clustering approach (i.e. cluster splitting and merging techniques). The cluster splitting techniques such as Iterative Self-Organising Data Technique (ISODATA), Mean Shift Clustering (MSC), Niche Genetic Algorithm (NGA) and Niche Particle Swarm Optimisation (NPSO) were applied on SAR and LISS-III data. The cluster centres obtained from these algorithms are used to group similar data points by using merging method into their respective classes. Further, the results obtained for each method are overlaid to analyse the individual land cover region that is affected by floods. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
