For this purpose, the primary task is to achieve real-time data processing. Increasing sensor resolution, fast data capture and the simultaneous use of multiple sensors is one direction of development. However, this poses challenges on the data processing side due to the increasing amount of data. Our study intends to investigate how the running time and accuracy of commonly used image classification algorithms evolve using Altum Micasense multispectral and thermal acquisition data with GSD = 2 cm spatial resolution. The running times were examined for two PC configurations, with a 4 GB and 8 GB DRAM capacity, respectively, as these parameters are closer to the memory of NRT microcomputers and laptops, which can be applied \u201cout of the lab\u201d. During the accuracy assessment, we compared the accuracy %, the Kappa index value and the area ratio of correct pixels. According to our results, in the case of plant cover, the Spectral Angles Mapper (SAM) method achieved the best accuracy among the validated classification solutions. In contrast, the Minimum Distance (MD) method achieved the best accuracy on water surface. In terms of temporality, the best results were obtained with the individually constructed decision tree classification. Thus, it is worth developing these two directions into real-time data processing solutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22228629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]],"date-time":"2022-11-10T02:11:15Z","timestamp":1668046275000},"page":"8629","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Performance and Accuracy Comparisons of Classification Methods and Perspective Solutions for UAV-Based Near-Real-Time \u201cOut of the Lab\u201d Data Processing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2390-2958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zs\u00f3fia","family":"Varga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Faculty of Informatics, ELTE E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0795-2739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fanni","family":"V\u00f6r\u00f6s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Faculty of Informatics, ELTE E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1rton","family":"P\u00e1l","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Faculty of Informatics, ELTE E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1864-0770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B\u00e9la","family":"Kov\u00e1cs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Faculty of Informatics, ELTE E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3250-4097","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e1s","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Faculty of Informatics, ELTE E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Istv\u00e1n","family":"Elek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Faculty of Informatics, ELTE E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1049\/cje.2019.12.006","article-title":"Review on the Technological Development and Application of UAV Systems","volume":"29","author":"Fan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chin.
