A multi-layer approach for the analysis of neighbourhood relations of polygons in remotely acquired images
In this letter we present a novel approach to extract topological features of polygonal networks, based on a multi-layer strategy; the motivation for this new development was the need to analyse the small-scale polygonal patterns observed on remotely sensed, high spatial resolution images of the surface of Mars. The major improvement of the algorithm consists of the distribution of polygons by ...
متن کاملSpatial relationships between patterned ground and ground ice detected by the Neutron Spectrometer on Mars
[1] Patterned grounds, like polygonal features, are the signature of climatic effects in periglacial regions on Earth. Identifying similar features on Mars is important for an understanding of the past Martian climate. In this study we mapped fresh patterned landforms from the systematic analysis of Mars Orbiter Camera high-resolution images. We show that most of them are distributed at latitud...
متن کاملIntroducing An Efficient Set of High Spatial Resolution Images of Urban Areas to Evaluate Building Detection Algorithms
The present work aims to introduce an efficient set of high spatial resolution (HSR) images in order to more fairly evaluate building detection algorithms. The introduced images are chosen from two recent HSR sensors (QuickBird and GeoEye-1) and based on several challenges of urban areas encountered in building detection such as diversity in building density, building dissociation, building sha...
متن کاملMulti-frame Super Resolution for Improving Vehicle Licence Plate Recognition
License plate recognition (LPR) by digital image processing, which is widely used in traffic monitor and control, is one of the most important goals in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). In real ITS, the resolution of input images are not very high since technology challenges and cost of high resolution cameras. However, when the license plate image is taken at low resolution, the license...
متن کاملAn Automated Tool for Polygonal Pattern Identification on Images of Mars
Introduction: One of the common features between the landscapes of the Earth and Mars is the existence, in certain areas of the surface of both planets, of polygonal patterns. On Earth, these have welldocumented origins, and their dimensions are closely related to the processes that produce them, from the desiccation of muds and the cooling of basaltic lavas to the tectonic stresses that produc...
