Given a raster spatial framework, as well as training and test sets, the spatial decision tree learning (SDTL) problem aims to minimize classification errors as well as salt-and-pepper noise. The SDTL problem is important due to many societal applications such as land cover classification in remote sensing. However, the SDTL problem is challenging due to the spatial autocorrelation of class labels, and the potentially exponential number of candidate trees. Related work is limited due to the use of local-test-based decision nodes, which can not adequately model spatial autocorrelation during test phase, leading to high salt-and-pepper noise. In contrast, we propose a focal-test-based spatial decision tree (FTSDT) model, where the tree traversal direction for a location is based on not only local but also focal (i.e., neighborhood) properties of the location. Experimental results on real world remote sensing datasets show that the proposed approach reduces salt-and-pepper noise and improves classification accuracy.
