Application of the Gradient Vector Flow Method for Treating Satellite Image
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we propose a new approach to delineate regions in Satellite Image. This method is particularly applicable to the limitation of insoluble habitats. We are interested in detecting the boundaries of the villages near Marrakech from their satellite images, as a study case: Ouahat Sidi Brahim. Our approach has three stages: The first, using k nearest neighbour method for classification of the satellite image. The second, using a mean filter to regularize this classification. In the last we use the Gradient Vector Flow to detect the edge of the village. Our method gives satisfactory and encouraging results to detect the edge of the village and can be used as a tool to control the spread of slums.

Volumetric soil moisture estimation using Sentinel 1 and 2 satellite images
Surface soil moisture is an important variable that plays a crucial role in the management of water and soil resources. Estimating this parameter is one of the important applications of remote sensing. One of the remote sensing techniques for precise estimation of this parameter is data-driven models. In this study, volumetric soil moisture content was estimated using data-driven models, suppor...
متن کاملLocal gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition
Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
متن کاملMean Shifting Gradient Vector Flow: An Improved External Force Field for Active Surfaces in Widefield Microscopy
Gradient vector flow based snakes are a very common method in biomedical image segmentation. The use of gradient vector flow herein brings some major advantages like a large capture range to strong gradients and a good adaption of the snakes in concave regions. In some cases though, the application of gradient vector flow can also have undesired effects, e.g. if only parts of an image are stron...
متن کاملECT and LS-SVM Based Void Fraction Measurement of Oil-Gas Two-Phase Flow
A method based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and an improved Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. In the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in LS-SVM, pruning skills are employed to make LS-SVM sparse and robust; then the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem...
متن کاملObject-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...
