A Method for Processing Satellite Image to Limit the Spread of Slums in the Regions of Marrakech

ثبت نشده
چکیده

The slums are now a reality to be recognised. They were undoubtedly the prior nightmare of inhabitants in the world. Marrakech region experienced strong population growth. There is also a major investment in the tourism sector in the city and its outskirts. Unable to access any property, for lack of means, the newcomers live in these slums, and build shelters. What makes things more difficult? The solutions exist and are even multiple. First, shanty towns should be included in urban planning to allow for consistent management and better integration of informal settlements in the city. Then, plots could be created for these people to avoid disorganized construction. In this work, we are interested in detecting the boundaries of the villages near Marrakech from their satellite images, as a study case: Sidi Zouine village (31.67,8.34). Our approach has two stages: The first, using k nearest neighbour method for classification of the satellite image. The second, using a mean filter to regularize this classification. Our method gives satisfactory and encouraging results to detect the edge of the village and can be used as a tool to control the spread of slums.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

Salient regions detection in satellite images using the combination of MSER local features detector and saliency models

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...

Contourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration

Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...
