Change Detection in Satellite Images Using Contourlet Transform and RFLICM Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
An approach based on contourlet image fusion and reformulated fuzzy clustering for change detection in satellite images is introduced in this paper. In this approach fusion of images is used to produce difference image from log ratio and mean ratio images. An optimal difference image should retain the unchanged areas and show the changed areas. So contourlet image fusion is used to generate the difference image. Processing the difference image means to discriminate changed regions from unchanged regions using reformulated fuzzy local information c means algorithm. It is used because it is very sensitive to noise. Experimental result shows that this approach provides better performance than the previous methods. Key words– contourlet, image fusion, reformulated fuzzy clustering, satellite images, change detection.

Fusion of Panchromatic and Multispectral Images Using Non Subsampled Contourlet Transform and FFT Based Spectral Histogram (RESEARCH NOTE)
Image fusion is a method for obtaining a highly informative image by merging the relative information of an object obtained from two or more image sources of the same scene. The satellite cameras give a single band panchromatic (PAN) image with high spatial information and multispectral (MS) image with more spectral information. The problem exists today is either PAN or MS image is available fr...
