Remote sensing image classification has become a crucial tool for diverse applications, including land cover mapping, environmental monitoring, disaster assessment, and urban planning. Conventional methods have relied on machine learning and handcrafted feature extraction approaches, but deep learning (DL) has emerged as a powerful alternative. A new study proposes a robust remote sensing image classification model using multiverse optimization algorithm with deep transfer learning (RRSIC MVO), which outperforms traditional machine learning methods in various applications.

This innovative approach has the potential to provide a reliable solution for remote sensing image classification, enhancing the accuracy and availability of land classification products.
The classifying process of Remote Sensing Images (RSI) has been crucial in various applications, including land cover mapping, environmental monitoring, disaster assessment, and urban planning. Conventionally, image classification in RS relies on Machine Learning (ML) and handcrafted feature extraction approaches. However, Deep Learning (DL) has become an effective and powerful method for RSI classification, with algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) showing great performance in different Computer Vision tasks.

The Importance of Remote Sensing Image Classification
Remote Sensing (RS) plays a significant part in providing an abundance of information for various applications. RS images with high spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions over wide geographical regions give a sufficient basis for the acquisition of land cover information. With the development of classification approaches, RS technique has become an effective method to attain land use information.
As more land cover information has been made available, it has become essential to ensure the availability and accuracy of land classification products. Due to its superior performance compared with that of conventional learning methods, Deep Learning (DL) becomes a fast-developing tendency in big data analysis and extensively used in different domains like speech enhancement, image classification, and Natural Language Processing.
The Role of Multiverse Optimization Algorithm
The Multiverse Optimization Algorithm is a novel approach for solving complex optimization problems. In the context of remote sensing image classification, this algorithm can be used to select hyperparameters for Deep Learning models, which can improve the accuracy and robustness of the classification results.
The joint bilateral filter (JBF) is a noise-handling technique that can be used in conjunction with the Multiverse Optimization Algorithm to improve the quality of the input data. By applying the JBF, the algorithm can reduce the impact of noise on the classification results, leading to more accurate and reliable outcomes.
The Use of Deep Transfer Learning
Deep Transfer Learning is a powerful approach for leveraging pre-trained models in new applications. In this study, the MobileNetv3 model is used as a feature extractor, which can be fine-tuned for remote sensing image classification tasks. By using transfer learning, the algorithm can leverage the knowledge and features learned from other domains to improve the accuracy of the classification results.
