Irregular Tessellation and Statistical Modeling Based Regionalized Segmentation for SAR Intensity Image

SAR Image Segmentation using Statistical Techniques

Segmentation is performed in recognition applications as a primary step towards extraction of interesting regions of an image. In this paper, the characteristic effects of Weibull and Fractal parameters in the segmentation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical images acquired from satellite platform is studied. The algorithms are tested for different window sizes and different number of...

XPMap-Based Irregular Pyramids for Image Segmentation

Acknowledgements It is hard for me to keep these words short. First of all, my biggest thanks go to Ulli, for making me come to KOGS and stay there, introducing countless ideas and approaches to me that I cannot live without anymore, creating the VIGRA library, and finally, customiz-ing my thesis's topic to meet my interests (in fact, it seemed this was just a selection of favorites out of an e...

Polarimetric SAR Image Segmentation Using Texture Partitioning and Statistical Analysis

SAR Image Segmentation Using Voronoi Tessellation and Bayesian Inference Applied to Dark Spot Feature Extraction

This paper presents a new segmentation-based algorithm for oil spill feature extraction from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) intensity images. The proposed algorithm combines a Voronoi tessellation, Bayesian inference and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) scheme. The shape and distribution features of dark spots can be obtained by segmenting a scene covering an oil spill and/or look-alikes into tw...

Functional template-based SAR image segmentation

We present an approach to automatic image segmentation, in which user selected sets of examples and counter-examples supply information about the speci/c segmentation problem. In our approach, image segmentation is guided by a genetic algorithm which learns the appropriate subset and spatial combination of a collection of discriminating functions, associated with image features. The genetic alg...
