In this paper, we propose a land cover pattern classifier for remote sensing image by using neuro-fuzzy algorithm. The proposed pattem classifier has a 3-layer feed-forward architecture that is derived from generic fuzzy perceptrons, and the weights are con~posed of h u y sets. We also implement a neuro-fuzzy pattern classification system in the Visual C++ environment. To measure the performance of this, we compare it with the conventional neural networks with back-propagation learning and the Maximum-likelihood algorithms. We classified the remote sensing image into the eight classes covered the majority of land cover feature, selected the same training sites. Experimental results show that the proposed classifier performs well especially in the mixed composition area having many classes rather than the conventional systems.
