Abstract: To address the difficulties of labeling samples for high-resolution remote sensing images, an automatic method of labeling samples employing OpenStreetMap (OSM) data is proposed in this paper. Different from the existing approaches, the proposed method adopts spatial features to supplement the shortcomings of using only spectral features. Firstly, samples are labeled using the category and position information of OSM data. As OSM data may contain errors, cluster analysis is utilized to refine the derived samples. Besides, to exploit the abundant spatial information provided by high resolution remote sensing images, morphological profiles are used to describe the structural features of the images. The spatial features as well as spectral features are combined for classification. Experiments show that the proposed method can significantly avoid the manpower and material resources required for labeling samples artificially. Meanwhile, the derived samples and the spectral-spatial features both contribute to the classification accuracy.
