Multispectral Satellite Image Understanding

From Land Classification to Building and Road Detection

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a comprehensive review of image processing methods, for the analysis of land use in residential areas. Combining a theoretical framework with highly practical applications, the book describes a system for the effective detection of single houses and streets in very high resolution. Topics and features: with a Foreword by Prof. Dr. Peter Reinartz of the German Aerospace Center; provides end-of-chapter summaries and review questions; presents a detailed review on remote sensing satellites; examines the multispectral information that can be obtained from satellite images, with a focus on vegetation and shadow-water indices; investigates methods for land-use classification, introducing precise graph theoretical measures over panchromatic images; addresses the problem of detecting residential regions; describes a house and street network-detection subsystem; concludes with a summary of the key ideas covered in the book.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"The authors write that their aims were the proposal of a novel automated end-to-end system to analyze multispectral satellite images and to emphasize how many research problems in remote sensing applications are waiting to be solved by the computer vision community. Well, the book satisfies both these goals. ... it represents a good reference book, even a milestone, for teaching multispectral image understanding to students and/or young researchers."
