An
essential problem in computer vision and remote sensing, image-based scene
classification has uses in anything from urban planning to environmental
monitoring. Conventional Local Binary Patterns (LBP) are frequently employed
for texture representation; however, their discriminative power in
high-resolution satellite data is limited because they frequently miss color
and spatial correlations. In order to effectively characterize local texture
and scene semantics, this work suggests a Vector-Based Local Binary Pattern
(VBLBP) descriptor that encodes both normalized spatial coordinates and binary
color comparisons into a compact four-dimensional vector. The VBLBP
characteristics are indexed using a k-d tree to enable neighborhood analysis
and scalable retrieval. The VBLBP histograms are then used to train a 1D
Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) to learn high-level representations for
scene classification. Tests on the PatternNet dataset, which comprises 30,400
high-resolution RGB images from 38 different scene classes, show that the
suggested VBLBP-CNN framework performs better than other baseline techniques
and conventional LBP variants, obtaining 94.6% classification accuracy while
preserving computational efficiency. The complementary contributions of color
and spatial components to the descriptor's performance are further supported by
ablation investigations. The results demonstrate how deep learning models and
manually created spatial-color descriptors can be used to provide reliable and
scalable satellite scene classification.
