These algorithms are broadly divided into supervised and unsupervised classification. Classification is a process of assigning pixels from a multidimensional image to discrete categories. The formation of a cluster of pixels for a remotely sensed image is a result of both the spectral value of the pixel, as well as the spatial location of the pixel. The research demonstrates a clustering algorithm that can incorporate both the spectral and spatial features of the pixels in the image resulting in better defined categories in terms of its homogeneity. A hyperspectral image is a remotely sensed image with a large number of spectral bands at various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The research also demonstrates the use of these algorithms on a hyperspectral image and show how a classification algorithm, which is specifically designed for hyperspectral images, can be used in forming categoriesenClassificationRemote sensingImagesSpectral informationSpatial informationConference PresentationDudeni, N., & Debba, P.
