Analysis of VHR Image Classification by Single and Ensemble of Classifiers

Given the wide variety of image classifiers available nowadays, some questions remain about the accuracy and processing time of Very High Resolution (VHR) images. Another question concerns the use of a Single or Ensemble Classifiers. Of course, the main factor to consider is the quality of the classified image, but computational cost is also important, especially in applications that require real-time processing. Given this scenario, this paper aims to relate the accuracy of seven single classifiers and the ensemble of the same classifiers with the processing time. In this paper the ensemble of classifiers had the best results in terms of accuracy, however, it comes to processing time, the decision tree had the best performance.
