چکیده
In this report, the principles of man-made object detection in satellite images is investigated. An overview of terminology and of how the detection problem is usually solved today is given. A three level system to solve the detection problem is proposed. The main branches of this system handle road, and city detection respectively. To achieve data source flexibility, the Logical Sensor notion is used to model the low level system components. Three Logical Sensors have been implemented and tested on Landsat TM and SPOT XS scenes. These are: BDT (Background Discriminant Transformation) to construct a man-made object property field; Local-orientation for texture estimation and road tracking; Texture estimation using local variance and variance of local orientation. A gradient magnitude measure for road seed generation has also been tested.

Nowadays, due to quality development of satellite images, automatic target detection on these images has been attracted many researchers' attention. Remote-sensing images follow various geospatial targets; these targets are generally man-made and have a distinctive structure from their surrounding areas. Different methods have been developed for automatic target detection. In most of these met...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Coasts maintain their natural sustainability without human intervention and in spite of short-term changes, we are ultimately confronted with a coastal healthy environment, i.e. natural, rocky beaches, sandy beaches and so on. Today's use of remote sensing in most natural sciences is widespread. Due to the fact that fieldwork is costly and time-consuming, ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study on Corner Detection to Extract Buildings in Very High Resolution
this paper, we examine the detection of man-made structures in Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite images. The first step of this detection consists of describing the objects' geometry through corners. Not only are corners an important cue for the presence of geometric primitives. They are also essential in forming higher-level shapes like rectangles and polygons through perceptual grouping te...
متن کاملMan-made Objects Classfication from Satellite/aerial Imagery Using Neural Networks
The classification of man-made objects is a basic step in various mapping and modelling applications. The automation of this task is highly needed as the manual processing is costly and time consuming. Human classification of man-made objects from aerial and satellite images depends mainly on the colors, the textures, and the shapes of the classified regions. These objects attributes are then p...
