Shadow Detection and Removal from Remote Sensing Images Using NDI and Morphological Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shadows appear in remote sensing images due to elevated objects. Shadows cause hindrance to correct feature extraction of image features like buildings ,towers etc. in urban areas it may also cause false color tone and shape distortion of objects, which degrades the quality of images. Hence, it is important to segment shadow regions and restore their information for image interpretation. This paper presents an efficient and simple approach for shadow detection and removal based on HSV color model in complex urban color remote sensing images for solving problems caused by shadows. In the proposed method shadows are detected using normalized difference index and subsequent thresholding based on Otsu’s method. Once the shadows are detected they are classified and a non shadow area around each shadow termed as buffer area is estimated using morphological operators. The mean and variance of these buffer areas are used to compensate the shadow regions.

In remote sensing images, shadows created by big tower, bridges, tree. It may destroy the information of an image. Missing information has a direct effect on common analysis and processing of image, this leads to inefficient classification. To separate shadow and non shadow regions, morphological feature is consider for segmentation. Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) classifier can also classify b...

Shadow will occur by sunlight or any light sources. In the area of machine vision, shadows occur frequently in a wide variety of scenes. In many cases, this is undesirable due to the fact that they often lead to the result of irretrievable processing failures. In this paper, we introduce a novel shadow detection and removal technique that produces a shadow-free scene. In this method, shadow fea...
