Analysis Of Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar And Passive Visible Light Polarimetric Imaging Data Fusion For Remote Sensing Applications, Sanjit Maitra Dec 2013

Analysis Of Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar And Passive Visible Light Polarimetric Imaging Data Fusion For Remote Sensing Applications, Sanjit Maitra

Theses

The recent launch of spaceborne (TerraSAR-X, RADARSAT-2, ALOS-PALSAR, RISAT) and airborne (SIRC, AIRSAR, UAVSAR, PISAR) polarimetric radar sensors, with capability of imaging through day and night in almost all weather conditions, has made polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image interpretation and analysis an active area of research. PolSAR image classification is sensitive to object orientation and scattering properties. In recent years, significant work has been done in many areas including agriculture, forestry, oceanography, geology, terrain analysis. Visible light passive polarimetric imaging has also emerged as a powerful tool in remote sensing for enhanced information extraction. The intensity image provides information …


Distinction Of Lakes And Rivers On Satellite Images Using Mathematical Morphology, Przemysław Kupidura Jan 2013

Distinction Of Lakes And Rivers On Satellite Images Using Mathematical Morphology, Przemysław Kupidura

Przemysław Kupidura

This paper concerns the application of mathematical morphology for object-oriented classification of satellite images. The example of distinguishing different bodies of water using the author-made algorithm will be presented. Different types of water bodies like lakes and rivers are easy to differentiate when visually interpreted. However, it is much more difficult to differentiate using a traditional, pixel-based classification process. Mathematical morphology operations, which take into account such important features of objects like shape and size, allow these two types of water bodies to be distinguished in object classification. The proposed algorithm allows one practically error-free classification. The results show, that …
