Remote sensing textual image classification technology has been the hottest topic in the filed of remote sensing. Texture is the most helpful symbol for image classification. In common, there are complex terrain types and multiple texture features are extracted for classification, in addition; there is noise in the remote sensing images and the single classifier is hard to obtain the optimal classification results. Integration of multiple classifiers is able to make good use of the

In the paper, based on the diversity measurement of the base classifiers, J48 classifier, IBk classifier, sequential minimal optimization (SMO) classifier, Naive Bayes classifier and multilayer perceptron (MLP) classifier are selected for ensemble learning. In order to evaluate the influence of our proposed method, our approach is compared with the five base classifiers through calculating the average classification accuracy. Experiments on five UCI data sets and remote sensing image data sets are performed to testify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
