Abstract: Over the last few decades, multiple advances have been done for the classification of vegetation area through land cover, and land use. However, classification problem is one of the most complicated and contradicting problems that has received considerable attention. Therefore, to tackle this problem, this paper proposes a new Firefly-Harmony search based Deep Belief Neural Network method (FHS-DBN) for the classification of land cover, and land use. The segmentation process is done using Bayesian Fuzzy Clustering,and the feature matrix is developed. The feature matrix is given to the proposed FHS-DBN method that distinguishes the land coverfrom the land use in the multispectral satellite images, for analyzing the vegetation area. The proposed FHS-DBN method is designedby training the DBN using the FHS algorithm, which is developed by the combination of Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Harmony Search (HS) algorithm. The performance of the FHS-DBN model is evaluated using three metrics, such as Accuracy, True Positive Rate (TPR), and False Positive Rate (FPR). From the experimental analysis, it is concludedthat the proposed FHS-DBN model achieves ahigh classification accuracy of 0.9381, 0.9488, 0.9497, and 0.9477 usingIndian Pine, Salinas scene, Pavia Centre and university, and Pavia University scene dataset.
