In this study, a hybrid ontological bagging algorithm and an ensemble technique of convolutional neural network (CNN) models have been developed to improve forest image classification accuracy. The experimental results show that our proposed model outperformed other baseline classifiers in terms of accuracy and root-mean-square error.
Most existing approaches to image classification neglect the concept of semantics, resulting in two major shortcomings. Firstly, categories are treated as independent even when they have a strong semantic overlap. Secondly, the features used to classify images into different categories can be the same. It has been demonstrated that the integration of ontologies and semantic relationships greatly improves image classification accuracy. In this study, a hybrid ontological bagging algorithm and an ensemble technique of convolutional neural network (CNN) models have been developed to improve forest image classification accuracy. The ontological bagging approach learns discriminative weak attributes over multiple learning instances, and the bagging concept is adopted to minimize the error propagation of the classifiers. An ensemble of ResNet50, VGG16, and Xception models is used to generate a set of features for the classifiers trained through an ontology to perform the image classification process. To the authors' best knowledge, there are no publicly available datasets for forest-type images; hence, the images used in this study were obtained from the internet. Obtained images were put into eight categories, namely: orchards, bare land, grassland, woodland, sea, buildings, shrubs, and logged forest. Each category comprised 100 images for training and 19 images for testing; thus, in total, the dataset contained 800 images for training and 152 images for testing. Our ensemble deep learning approach with an ontology model was successfully used to classify forest images into their respective categories. The classification was based on the semantic relationship between image categories. The experimental results show that our proposed model with ontology outperformed other baseline classifiers without ontology with 96% accuracy and the lowest root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.532 compared to 88.8%, 86.2%, 81.6%, 64.5%, and 63.8% accuracy and 1.048, 1.094, 1.530, 1.678, and 2.090 RMSE for support-vector machines, random forest, k-nearest neighbours, Gaussian naive Bayes, and decision trees, respectively.
