Change Detection in Urban Area Using Decision Level Fusion of Change Maps Extracted from Optic and SAR Images
The last few decades witnessed high urban growth rates in many countries. Urban growth can be mapped and measured by using remote sensing data and techniques along with several statistical measures. The purpose of this research is to detect the urban change that is used for urban planning. Change detection using remote sensing images can be classified into three methods: algebra-based, transfor...
متن کاملMultiscale segmentation and anomaly enhancement of SAR imagery
We present efficient multiscale approaches to the segmentation of natural clutter, specifically grass and forest, and to the enhancement of anomalies in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The methods we propose exploit the coherent nature of SAR sensors. In particular, they take advantage of the characteristic statistical differences in imagery of different terrain types, as a function of ...
متن کاملUrban Land-cover Mapping and Change Detection with Radarsat Sar Data Using Neural Network and Rule-based Classifiers
This paper presents a new approach to extract urban landuse/land-cover information from high-resolution radar satellite data. Fivedate RADARSAT fine-beam SAR images over the rural-urban fringe of the Greater Toronto Area were acquired during May to August in 2002. One scene of Landsat TM imagery was acquired in 1988 for change detection. The major landuse/land-cover classes were high-density bu...
متن کاملOptical and Sar Imagery for Mapping Vegetation Gradients in Brazilian Savannas: Synergy between Pixel-based and Object-based Approaches
The objectives of this study were (a) to evaluate the suitability of SAR imagery for discriminating savanna physiognomies, (b) to combine SAR and optical imagery for achieving improved accuracy, and (c) to develop a hybrid approach based on pixels and objects to characterize gradients of vegetation density. We used imagery from the Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR), as well ...
متن کاملObject-Based Classification of UltraCamD Imagery for Identification of Tree Species in the Mixed Planted Forest
This study is a contribution to assess the high resolution digital aerial imagery for semi-automatic analysis of tree species identification. To maximize the benefit of such data, the object-based classification was conducted in a mixed forest plantation. Two subsets of an UltraCam D image were geometrically corrected using aero-triangulation method. Some appropriate transformations were perfor...
