Table 3 List of intensity features.

From: A new strategy based on multi-source remote sensing data for improving the accuracy of land use/cover change classification

Features

Definition/Formula

Imax

Maximum intensity

Imean

Mean intensity

Imin

Minimum intensity

Imed

Median intensity

Imed_z

Median of median absolute deviation

Icv

Coefficient of variation.\(\frac{{I_{{{\text{s}}td}} }}{{I_{mean} }} \times 100\%\)

Ikur

Kurtosis of intensity. The flatness of the intensity values of all points in a statistical unit

Iske

Skewness of intensity. The distortion or symmetry state of a height frequency distribution curve

Iaad

Average absolute deviation,\(\frac{{\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^{n} {\left( {\left| {I_{i} - \overline{I} } \right|} \right)} }}{n}\)

IAIH (15)

Point clouds are sorted according to the intensity. AIHX is the height of a laser point that ranks in the Ith% position in the accumulative curve

IH (15)

Point clouds are sorted according the intensity, HX is the height of the Ith% point

IHIQ

Intensity percentile interquartile distance,\(Int75\% - Int25\%\)

IStdDev

Standard deviation of intensity

IVariance

Intensity variance
