Morphological Segmentation of Remotely Sensed Forest Covers in High Spatial Resolution Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper novel algorithms developed to automatically segment forest cover types are presented. The digital image analysis followed is mainly based on mathematical morphology operators and exploits the textural features in high spatial resolution images. These input images consist of true colour digital orthophotos and the studied forest covers consist of the main occurrences in Portugal: olive trees, cork oak trees, pine and eucalyptus trees.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
متن کاملHigh Spatial Resolution Remotely Sensed Data for Ecosystem Characterization
R sensed data have been employed for the characterization of ecologically important variables from local through global contexts. These data may be used to generate a wide range of estimates that are valuable to ecologists, including information on land cover, vegetation cover, habitat, forest structure, and forest function (Kerr and Ostrovsky 2003), and to track changes in these variables. Rec...
متن کاملObject based Information Extraction from High Resolution Satellite Imagery using eCognition
High resolution images offer rich contextual information, including spatial, spectral and contextual information. In order to extract the information from these high resolution images, we need to utilize the spatial and contextual information of an object and its surroundings. If pixel based approaches are applied to extract information from such remotely sensed data, only spectral information ...
متن کاملA new wavelet based multi-resolution texture segmentation scheme of remotely sensed images for vegetation extraction
Texture segmentation via wavelet transform traditionally adopts textural features based approach. However, applying this method can lead to oversegmentation problems. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new scheme of texture segmentation. The proposed approach will be applied to remotely sensed images for vegetation extraction. The key idea is that we precede wavelet transform by a prelim...
