Book Texture Analysis in Machine Vision

Download or read book Texture Analysis in Machine Vision written by Matti Pietik„inen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: d104ure analysis is an important generic research area of machine vision. The potential areas of application include biomedical image analysis, industrial inspection, analysis of satellite or aerial imagery, content-based retrieval from image databases, document analysis, biometric person authentication, scene analysis for robot navigation, texture synthesis for computer graphics and animation, and image coding. d104ure analysis has been a topic of intensive research for over three decades, but the progress has been very slow.A workshop on ?d104ure Analysis in Machine Vision? was held at the University of Oulu, Finland, in 1999, providing a forum for presenting recent research results and for discussing how to make progress in order to increase the usefulness of texture in practical applications. This book contains extended and revised versions of the papers presented at the workshop. The first part of the book deals with texture analysis methodology, while the second part covers various applications. The book gives a unique view of different approaches and applications of texture analysis. It should be of great interest both to researchers of machine vision and to practitioners in various application areas.

Book Exploiting the Spatial Information in High Resolution Satellite Data and Utilising Multi Source Data for Tropical Mountain Forest and Land Cover Mapping

Download or read book Exploiting the Spatial Information in High Resolution Satellite Data and Utilising Multi Source Data for Tropical Mountain Forest and Land Cover Mapping written by Anke Gleitsmann and published by ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Cordillera Central der Dominikanischen Republik ist eine Quelle wichtiger natürlicher Ressourcen – vor allem Wasser – für dieses karibische Land. Im oberen Einzugsgebiet des Río Yaque del Norte wurde im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts ein großer Teil der natürlichen Wälder abgeholzt und durch Weide- und Ackerland sowie Sekundärvegetation ersetzt. Entwaldung und nicht nachhaltige Landnutzung auf den steilen Hängen dieses Gebietes haben zu Erosion und Landdegradierung geführt. Es gibt aber auch noch verschiedene primäre Bergwälder, darunter kleine Nebelwaldbereiche mit bedrohten endemischen Arten. Fernerkundungsdaten sind eine unverzichtbare Quelle für flächendeckende räumliche Informationen, die als Basis für Raumnutzungspläne und den Schutz bedrohter Ökosysteme benötigt werden. Die Nutzbarkeit von Satellitendaten mittlerer Auflösung (z.B. Landsat) für die Kartierung der Vegetationstypen des Untersuchungsgebietes ist begrenzt, weil das kleinräumige Mosaik verschiedener Landbedeckungstypen (wie in vielen tropischen Gebirgsbereichen) zu einem großen Anteil von Mischpixeln in diesen Daten führt. Die neue Generation kommerzieller hochauflösender Satelliten wie IKONOS (1 m bis 4 m Auflösung) ermöglicht eine detailliertere Kartierung von kleineren Interessensgebieten, aber die automatische Klassifizierung räumlich hochaufgelöster Daten beinhaltet auch neue Herausforderungen. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich daher hauptsächlich mit der Optimierung von Methoden zur Ausnutzung der räumlichen Information in hochauflösenden Satellitendaten für die Kartierung von tropischen Bergwäldern und anderen Landoberflächen.

Book Land Cover Classification of Remotely Sensed Images

Download or read book Land Cover Classification of Remotely Sensed Images written by S. Jenicka and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book introduces two domains namely Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing. It discusses remote sensing, texture, classifiers, and procedures for performing the texture-based segmentation and land cover classification. The first chapter discusses the important terminologies in remote sensing, basics of land cover classification, types of remotely sensed images and their characteristics. The second chapter introduces the texture and a detailed literature survey citing papers related to texture analysis and image processing. The third chapter describes basic texture models for gray level images and multivariate texture models for color or remotely sensed images with relevant Matlab source codes. The fourth chapter focuses on texture-based classification and texture-based segmentation. The Matlab source codes for performing supervised texture based segmentation using basic texture models and minimum distance classifier are listed. The fifth chapter describes supervised and unsupervised classifiers. The experimental results obtained using a basic texture model (Uniform Local Binary Pattern) with the classifiers described earlier are discussed through the relevant Matlab source codes. The sixth chapter describes land cover classification procedure using multivariate (statistical and spectral) texture models and minimum distance classifier with Matlab source codes. A few performance metrics are also explained. The seventh chapter explains how texture based segmentation and land cover classification are performed using the hidden Markov model with relevant Matlab source codes. The eighth chapter gives an overview of spatial data analysis and other existing land cover classification methods. The ninth chapter addresses the research issues and challenges associated with land cover classification using textural approaches. This book is useful for undergraduates in Computer Science and Civil Engineering and postgraduates who plan to do research or project work in digital image processing. The book can serve as a guide to those who narrow down their research to processing remotely sensed images. It addresses a wide range of texture models and classifiers. The book not only guides but aids the reader in implementing the concepts through the Matlab source codes listed. In short, the book will be a valuable resource for growing academicians to gain expertise in their area of specialization and students who aim at gaining in-depth knowledge through practical implementations. The exercises given under texture based segmentation (excluding land cover classification exercises) can serve as lab exercises for the undergraduate students who learn texture based image processing.

Book excerpt: It was an honor and a pleasure to organizethe 13th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP 2009) in Mu ̈nster, Germany. CAIP has been held biennially since 1985: Berlin (1985), Wismar (1987), Leipzig (1989), Dresden (1991), Budapest (1993), Prague (1995), Kiel (1997), Ljubljana (1999), Warsaw (2001), Groningen (2003), Paris (2005), and Vienna (2007). Initially, this conference series served as a forum for getting together s- entistsfromEastandWestEurope.Nowadays,CAIPenjoysahighinternational visibility and attracts participants from all over the world. For CAIP 2009 we received a record number of 405 submissions. All papers were reviewed by two, and in most cases, three reviewers. Finally, 148 papers were selected for presentation at the conference, resulting in an acceptance rate of 36%. All Program Committee members and additional reviewers listed here deserve a great thanks for their timely and competent reviews. The accepted papers were presented either as oral presentations or posters in a single-track program.In addition, wewereveryhappyto haveAljoscha Smolicand David G. Storkasourinvitedspeakerstopresenttheirworkintwofascinatingareas.With this scienti?c program we hope to continue the tradition of CAIP in providing a forum for scienti?c exchange at a high quality level. A successful conference like CAIP 2009 would not be possible without the support of many institutions and people. First of all, we like to thank all the authors of submitted papers and the invited speakers for their contributions. The Steering Committee members were always there when advice was needed.
