Using Image Fusion and Classification to Profile a Human Population; a Study in the Rural Region of Eastern India
نویسنده
چکیده
With the recent advancements in image processing techniques and the increasing availability of high resolution satellite imagery, one has an increased ability to characterize human attributes. This paper will study the effects that image fusion has on the classification of Quickbird satellite imagery over a rural area in Eastern India. Two panchromatic sharpening algorithms will be used and compared to a classification of a single multispectral image to study the effects that image fusion has on image classification. Using the enhanced imagery an analysis into the prominent features like buildings, roads, agriculture, and water will be performed to characterize and better understand the human profile and lifestyle of the local population.
