Comparative analysis of the accuracy of classification methods of remote sensing data based on object-oriented and
neural network approaches is presented. Process was carried out according to the datasets of middle and high spatial
resolution (Landsat 5 и Orbview 3) characterizing the same land surface area. It was shown that neural network algorithm
performance significantly exceeded the accuracy of the algorithm based on object-oriented approach (OOA) in
the case of Landsat datasets (92 % vs. 74 %), and insignificantly (just for 2 %) surpassed the results of the OOA for
Orbview datasets.
Keywords: remote sensing, supervised classification, neural networks, statistical algorithms, object-oriented approach, Landsat, Orbview
