land cover information is one of the most important prerequisite in urban management system. in this way remote sensing, as the most economic technology, is mainly used to produce land cover maps. considering the complicated and dense urban areas in third world countries, object based approaches are suggested as an effective image processing technique. the purpose of this paper are the introduc...

We present an alignment framework for object detection using a hierarchy of 3D polygonal models. One difficulty with alignment methods is that the high-dimensional transformation space makes finding potential candidate states a time-consuming task. This is an important consideration in our approach, as an exhaustive search is applied on a densely-sampled state space in order to avoid local mini...

We present an algorithmic framework for hierarchical image segmentation and feature extraction. We build a successive fine-to-coarse hierarchy of irregular polygonal partitions of the original image. This multiscale hierarchy forms the basis for object-oriented image analysis. The framework incorporates the Gestalt principles of visual perception, such as proximity and closure, and exploits spe...

This paper describes a model-based approach to interpreting laser range imagery. It discusses the object modeling, model-driven prediction, and feature-to-model matching aspects of the problem. The model objects are represented by a viewpointindependent volumetric model based on generalized cylinders. Predictions of 3-D image features and their relations are generated from object models on mult...

Day by day, the ability to automatically detect and recognize objects in unconstrained images is becoming more and more important. From security systems and robots, to smart phones and augmented reality, every intelligent device needs to know the semantic meaning of an image. This thesis tackles the problem of fast object detection based on template models. Searching for an object in an image i...

We present an active object recognition strategy which combines the use of an attention mechanism for focusing the search for a 3-D object in a 2-D image, with a viewpoint control strategy for disambiguating recovered object features. The attention mechanism consists of a probabilistic search through a hierarchy of predicted feature observations, taking objects into a set of regions classiied a...

The principle of multiresolution segmentation was represented in detail in this study, and the canny algorithm was applied for edge-detection of a remotely sensed image based on this principle. The target image was divided into regions based on object-oriented multiresolution segmentation and edge-detection. Furthermore, object hierarchy was created, and a series of features (water bodies, vege...

ImageNet is a large scale and publicly available image database. It currently offers more than 14 millions of images, organised according to the WordNet hierarchy. One of the main objective of the creators is to provide to the research community a relevant database for visual recognition applications such as object recognition, image classification or object localisation. However, only a few vi...
