This paper presents a novel application of advanced machine learning techniques for Mars terrain image classification. Fuzzy-rough feature selection (FRFS) is adapted and then employed in conjunction with Support Vector Machines (SVMs) to construct image classifiers. These techniques are integrated to address problems in space engineering where the images are of many classes, large-scale, and diverse representational properties. The use of the adapted FRFS allows the induction of low-dimensionality feature sets from feature patterns of a much higher dimensionality. To evaluate the proposed work, K-Nearest Neighbours (KNNs) and decision trees (DTREEs) based image classifiers as well as information gain rank (IGR) based feature selection are also investigated here, as possible alternatives to the underlying machine learning techniques adopted. The results of systematic comparative studies demonstrate that in general, feature selection improves the performance of classifiers that are intended for use in high dimensional domains. In particular, the proposed approach helps to increase the classification accuracy, while enhancing classification efficiency by requiring considerably less features. This is evident in that the resultant SVM-based classifiers which utilise FRFS-selected features generally outperform KNN and DTREE based classifiers and those which use IGR-returned features. The work is therefore shown to be of great potential for on-board or ground-based image classification in future Mars rover missions.
