Hybridization of colour information with texture by using mutual information for the classification of satellite images

In this article a construction of hybrid colour space from a set of classic colours spaces by using the algorithm MRMR is proposed. This algorithm is based on the mutual information. Our approach is evaluated on SPOT HRV (XS) image representing two forest areas in the region of Rabat. Feature extraction is done by the cooccurrence matrix. The SVM (Support Vectors Machine) classifier is used.
