The recognition and extraction of seismic targets in high resolution post-earthquake images pose great challenge to the traditional image classification method. This paper introduces an object-oriented classification method for high resolution post-earthquake images classification, which integrates fractal texture features into a gravitational self-organizing map (gSOM). The method can be summarized as follows. First of all, the mean shift (MS) segmentation algorithm is adopted for initial segmentation in order to obtain homogeneous geographical objects, and the objects are regarded as the basic classification units in the subsequent process. Secondly, the characteristics of objects are quantified by the adaptive combination of the spectral bands and the fractal second order statistics as the texture information extracted from the original seismic image. Finally, the objects as classification units are clustered under the gSOM. For the purpose of controlling the uncertainty in the classification results, these various clustered results are assembled by the consensus function with the least cost. The qualitative and quantitative experiments on the Wenchuan County seismic images demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, which not only maintains the integrity of large damage targets, but also reflects details of the small targets at the same time. Also, the method shows the potential in the new technology for high resolution post-event image classification.
