Considerations Concerning the Supervised Classification of the Content of the Satellite Images of Medium Resolution in Space

Abstract

The study presents the supervised classification methods that were applied to a satellite image Landsat 7 ETM + with six bands (excluding the thermal bands). The methods used were: the method of the maximum probability, the method of the Mahalanobis distance, and the method of the minimum distance. The results are a little different because each method of classification has different calculating mathematic algorithms.
