Abstract
Unsupervised classification of remotely sensed data has traditionally been performed using partitional clustering procedures. This paper compares six classification results for a small Landsat 7 TM sub-image of Hainan Province in China. Of all clustering procedures, the hierarchical nearest neighbour linkage had the lowest classification accuracy, whereas the combinatorial K-means partitional procedure produced the best classification result.
