POTENTIAL OF USING HIGH RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGES FOR MAPPING APPLICATIONS

Mapping Road Traffic Conditions Using High Resolution Satellite Images

Construction, development and maintenance of the road network are central activities for several public authorities. In cooperation with the Norwegian road authorities, we have developed an approach for automated vehicle detection and generation of traffic statistics from QuickBird images. Satellite surveillance serves several obvious advantages over the methods that are being used today, which...

Multi Resolution Fuzzy Segmentation of Satellite Images

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

A New Structural Matching Method Based on Linear Features for High Resolution Satellite Images

  Along with commercial accessibility of high resolution satellite images in recent decades, the issue of extracting accurate 3D spatial information in many fields became the centre of attention and applications related to photogrammetry and remote sensing has increased. To extract such information, the images should be geo-referenced. The procedure of georeferencing is done in four main steps...

Using of High Resolution Satellite Images for Updating Large Scale Mapping in Egypt

High and accelerating rate of the urban changes and extensions, in developing countries such as Egypt, calls for an efficient and fast technique for mapping. The availability of the new generation commercial one-meter resolution satellite images has opened a new era for producing and updating large-scale digital maps. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of VHR satellit...
