Satellite Imagery Segmentation: a region growing approach LEONARDO SANT’ANNA BINS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a segmentation method based on a region growing approach. It has been implemented in the geographic information and image processing system (SPRING) which has been developed at INPE. The technique is applied to segment images which are being used to assess land use changes in the Amazon region. Segmented Landsat-TM images are shown to illustrate the technique.

Forest Cover Classification by Optimal Segmentation of High Resolution Satellite Imagery
This study investigated whether high-resolution satellite imagery is suitable for preparing a detailed digital forest cover map that discriminates forest cover at the tree species level. First, we tried to find an optimal process for segmenting the high-resolution images using a region-growing method with the scale, color and shape factors in Definiens(®) Professional 5.0. The image was classif...
متن کاملHierarchical Texture Segmentation of Weather Radar and Satellite Images
Segmentation of weather imagery is a problem fundamental to automated weather analysis, but one that has defied good solutions. Weather images have certain characteristics that cause problems for traditional image processing algorithms – the textural nature of clouds, poor dynamic range and poor spatial resolution. In this paper, we describe a novel method of performing multiscale, hierarchical...
متن کاملAn Urban Classification Approach Based on an Object– Oriented Analysis of High Resolution Satellite Imagery for a Spatial Structuring within Urban Areas
Classifying the complex structures of urban morphology from high resolution remote sensing imagery comprises difficulties due to their spectral and spatial heterogeneity. This paper presents a methodology allowing to derive meaningful area-wide spatial information for city planning and management from IKONOS imagery. The initial point is a stable segmentation for an object-oriented approach to ...
متن کاملChange Detection Using an Effective Object-based Approach
Change detection in imagery is quite useful generally but it has particular value in the remote sensing context. The conventional change detection methods based on pixel, which are appropriate to the low/middle resolution images, could not model the high-resolution imagery very well. In this case the object-based change detection techniques become effectives. The main advantage of the object-ba...
متن کاملروشی جدید در قطعه بندی خودکار تصاویر ماهواره ای با دقت بالا برای استخراج خطوط ساحلی
The objective of this paper is to introduce a new method for coastlines delineation from high-resolution satellite images automatically. The proposed approach integrates the color histogram analysis for estimating the number of clusters, fuzzy c-partition, and genetic algorithms for optimizing fuzzy c-partition matrix. The imagery is classified into homogenous areas using the proposed fuzzy log...
