A Hybrid Multi-Scale Segmentation Approach for Remotely Sensed Imagery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The general image segmentation approach used in other domains may not be applicable to the remote sensing field, which is due to the following factors: remotely sensed data is multi-spectral, always very large in size, and in multi-scale as well. How to quickly and efficiently segment remotely sensed imagery is still a big issue to be solved. Based on human vision mechanism, a new hybrid multi-scale segmentation approach is presented, which is implemented at three coarse-to-fine scale levels. First, remotely sensed imagery is segmented at a coarse scale, and image regions (segments) are produced. Then, the corresponding regions in the original image are segmented by another segmentation approach one by one at the fine scale. From the experiment results, we found the approach is rather promising. However, there still exists some problems to be settled, and further researches should be conducted in the future.

A Comparative Study of SVM and RF Methods for Classification of Alteration Zones Using Remotely Sensed Data
Identification and mapping of the significant alterations are the main objectives of the exploration geochemical surveys. The field study is time-consuming and costly to produce the classified maps. Therefore, the processing of remotely sensed data, which provide timely and multi-band (multi-layer) data, can be substituted for the field study. In this study, the ASTER imagery is used for altera...
متن کاملObject-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 کاملAn efficient texture image segmentation algorithm based on the GMRF model for classification of remotely sensed imagery
Texture analysis of remote sensing images based on classification of area units represented in image segments is usually more accurate than operating on an individual pixel basis. In this paper we suggest a two-step procedure to segment texture patterns in remotely sensed data. An image is first classified based on texture analysis using a multi-parameter and multi-scale technique. The intermed...
متن کاملContent Based Retrieval for Remotely Sensed Imagery
We present a framework for content based retrieval (CBR) of remotely sensed imagery. The main focus of our research is the segmentation step in CBR. A bank of gabor filters is used to extract regions of homogeneous texture. These filter responses are utilized in a multiscale clustering technique to yield the final segmentation. Novel area morphological filters are utilized for the purpose of sc...

Object-based approaches to the segmentation and supervised classification of remotely-sensed images yield more promising results compared to traditional pixelbased approaches. However, the development of an object-based approach presents challenges in terms of algorithm selection and parameter tuning. Subjective methods and trial and error are often used, but time consuming and yield less than ...
