In order to extract geometrical features from a multispectral image and derive a classification, an approach based on the topographic map of the image is proposed. For each pixel, the most significant structure containing it is extracted. The classification of this pixel is based on its spectral information and the geometrical features of the corresponding structure (its area and perimeter). The results obtained on multispectral remote sensing images taken by two different sensors show the efficiency of the extracted geometrical features for separating some classes with very similar spectral attributes but of different semantic meanings.
