This paper describes the classification of remotely sensed image data using fuzzy neural network, whose algorithm was obtained by replacing real numbers used for inputs and outputs in the standard back propagation algorithm with fuzzy numbers. In the proposed method, fuzzy patterns, generated based on the histogram ofeach category for the training data, are put into the fuzzy neural network with real numbers. The results show that the generalization and appoximation are better than that ofthe conventional network in determining the complex boundary of patterns.
