Land-Water Classification for Satellite Images

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: : Satellite image analysis plays a crucial role in fields such as environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture, and disaster management. This project presents a machine learning-based methodology for the automated segmentation and classification of objects in satellite images. The proposed system employs a two-step algorithm: (1) K-Means clustering for unsupervised segmentation of satellite images into meaningful clusters, and (2) Support Vector Machine (SVM) for supervised classification of the segmented regions into predefined categories such as land, water, and vegetation. A Flask-based web application is developed to provide a userfriendly interface for uploading satellite images and visualizing classified results. The backend is supported by a structured SQL database to manage image metadata and classification outputs efficiently. The system is designed to handle large datasets, ensuring robustness and scalability. Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate high accuracy in object detection and classification, highlighting the system's potential to support real-world decision-making in environmental and infrastructural domains.
