Abstract
ABSTRACT Multi-spectral satellite remote sensing imagery have several applications including detection of objects or distinguishing land surface areas based on amount of greenery or water etc. The enhancement of spectral images helps extracting and visualizing spatial and spectral features. This paper identifies some specific regions of interest (RoI) of the earth's surface from the remotely sensed spectral or satellite image. The RoI are extracted and identified as major segments. Trivially, uni-variate histogram thresholding is used for gray images as a tool of segmentation. However, for color images multivariate histogram is effective to get control on color bands. It also helps emphasizing color information for clustering purpose. In this paper, the 2D and 3D histograms are used for clustering pixels in order to extract the RoI. The RGB color bands along with the infrared (IR) band information are used to form the multivariate histogram. Two datasets are used to carry out the experiment. The first one is an artificially designed dataset and the next is Indian Remotely Sensed (IRS-1A) satellite imagery. This paper proves the correctness of the proposed mathematical implication on the artificial dataset and consequently perform the application on LandSat Spectral data. The test result is found to be satisfactory.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Image and Data Fusion provides a single source of information for all aspects of image and data fusion methodologies, developments, techniques and applications. Image and data fusion techniques are important for combining the many sources of satellite, airborne and ground based imaging systems, and integrating these with other related data sets for enhanced information extraction and decision making. Image and data fusion aims at the integration of multi-sensor, multi-temporal, multi-resolution and multi-platform image data, together with geospatial data, GIS, in-situ, and other statistical data sets for improved information extraction, as well as to increase the reliability of the information. This leads to more accurate information that provides for robust operational performance, i.e. increased confidence, reduced ambiguity and improved classification enabling evidence based management. The journal welcomes original research papers, review papers, shorter letters, technical articles, book reviews and conference reports in all areas of image and data fusion including, but not limited to, the following aspects and topics: • Automatic registration/geometric aspects of fusing images with different spatial, spectral, temporal resolutions; phase information; or acquired in different modes • Pixel, feature and decision level fusion algorithms and methodologies • Data Assimilation: fusing data with models • Multi-source classification and information extraction • Integration of satellite, airborne and terrestrial sensor systems • Fusing temporal data sets for change detection studies (e.g. for Land Cover/Land Use Change studies) • Image and data mining from multi-platform, multi-source, multi-scale, multi-temporal data sets (e.g. geometric information, topological information, statistical information, etc.).
