This paper proposes a method of combining luzzy probability and fiizzy clustering algorithm to overcome these dnsadvantages. The method consists of two steps, first to calculate the number of cluster and the centroid of clusters based fuzzy probability, then to use fuzzy clustering aigoitthm to land-cover classificafion. | Journal of Science and Technology 54 (3) (2016) 300-313 DOI 10 15625/0866-708»54/3/6463 COMBINING FUZZY PROBABILITY AND FUZZY CLUSTERING FOR JVIULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY CLASSIFICATION Dinh-Sinh iVIai', L e - H u n g T r i n h , L o n g T h a n h N g o Le Quy Don Technical Universily.

Some algorithms are used commonly in data classification, but their d,sadvantages are low accuracy and unstability such as it-Means algorithm, c-Means algorithm. Iso-data algorithm. Thts paper proposes a method of combining luzzy probability and fiizzy clustering algorithm to overcome these dtsadvantages. The method consists of two steps, first to calculate the number of cluster and the centroid of clusters based fuzzy probability, then to use fuzzy clustering aigoitthm to land-cover classificafion. The results showed that, the accuracy of the land cover classification using muitispecn-al satellite images according to the developed method significantly increases compared with vanous algorithms such as k-Means, Iso-data.

INTRODUCTION The algorithms applied to image segmentation such as k-Means, c-Means, Iso-data show the same way based on the euchdean distance to detenmne the degree of similarity between the considered objects and cluster centroids. In problems of land cover classification, methods based on statistical parameters have been widely used because they are easy to implement and highly accurate [ 1 - 3 ] . However, these melhods are quite expensive, time consuming and unsuitable. Fuzzy logic has been widely applied in most of .
