Abstract

The importance of the classification of the satellite images appeared as one of the important subjects which the researchers were interested in, the traditional and hybrid methods were employed in the research.
In the traditional method the decision tree and K-means clustering algorithm were used, which gave bad and accepted results in classifying satellite images, so the importance of genetic hybrid algorithm study is concerned with classifying the satellite images.
Also a hybrid system was suggested between the genetic algorithm and the k-means clustering algorithm, which gave good results in classifying the satellite images.
