Grouping Salient Scatterers in InSAR Data for Recognition of Industrial Buildings
نویسندگان
چکیده
InSAR data are used to recognise large industrial building complexes. Such buildings often show salient regular patterns of strong scatterers on their roofs. A previous segmentation which uses the intensity, height and coherence information extracts building cues. Strong scatterers are filtered by a spot detector and localised by a cluster formation. Strong scatterers are grouped in rows by a process that uses the contours of the building cues as context. Such buildings are labelled as industrial buildings and serve as seeds to assemble adjacent buildings into complex structured building aggregates. The structure of the grouping process is depicted by a production net.

Perceptual Grouping of Regular Structures for Automatic Detection of Man-Made Objects Examples from IR and SAR
Human observers perceive man-made objects in images from the visual spectrum domain as well as in IR or SAR imagery. Mechanisms like perceptual grouping are crucial to this capability. In this paper two examples for grouping in different image sources are discussed. The first example is activity estimation in urban areas from thermal IR images. The grouping of vehicles into rows is performed al...
متن کاملPerceptual grouping for automatic detection of man-made structures in high-resolution SAR data
Modern airborne synthetic aperture radar sensors provide high spatial resolution data. Experimental systems have even achieved decimetre resolution. In such data, many features of urban objects can be identified, which are beyond what has been achieved by radar remote sensing before. An example for the new quality of the appearance of urban man-made objects such as buildings in these data is gi...
متن کاملBuilding Recognition Based on Airborne and Space Borne Insar Data
Because of its independence of time of day and its all weather capability, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become a key remote sensing technique in the last decades. In the past, spatial resolution of space borne SAR systems was rather coarse, so the exploitation of building signature and even the reconstruction of buildings in dense urban areas based on InSAR data was restricted to commerci...

This paper extends two single polarization multibaseline interferometric SAR high resolution techniques to the fully polarimetric configuration: the Music method and one approach based on maximum likelihood. These new algorithms enhance the height estimation of scatterers by calculating optimal polarization combinations and allow to determine their physical characteristics. First experimental r...
متن کاملInSAR Forensics: Tracing InSAR Scatterers in High Resolution Optical Image
The current synthetic aperture radar (SAR) theory makes a quite restrictive assumption – linearity – in the SAR imaging model, for the convenience of mathematical derivation. That is to say the imaged area is considered as an ensemble of individual point scatterers whose scattered fields and, hence, their responses in the SAR image superimpose linearly [1]. This is the so called the first Born ...
