Extended Abstract Our goal in this work has been to study methods for the automatic interpretation of ocean satellite images by means of the recognition of meso and macroscalar ocean structures. The difficulty of the image analysis and understanding problem for ocean satellite data is due, in large part, to the lack of a precise mathematical description of the observed structures and to their v...

Gradient-descent algorithms have been successfully applied to many applications of computer vision, such as stereo matching, object recognition and medical image registration. Our work focuses on applying these techniques to remote sensing image data with a particular emphasis on data acquired under different conditions, such as multi-temporal or multi-sensor data. While most previous work has ...

An end-member selection method for spectral unmixing that is based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is developed in this paper. The algorithm uses the K-means clustering algorithm and a method of dynamic selection of end-members subsets to find the appropriate set of end-members for a given set of multispectral images. The proposed algorithm has been successfully applied to test image sets ...

– This study analysed the spatial structure of the Carpathian Mountains, in Central Europe, considering it a unit that extends across national boundaries, and assessing the suitability of areas were wolves could be conserved. Physical characteristics of the area were extracted from NOAA-AVHRR NDVI. A set of 9 images from different periods of the year was used to parameterise the phenological va...

The island of Madagascar has been labelled the world's number one conservation 'hot spot' because of increasing anthropogenic degradation of its natural habitats, which support a high level of species endemism. However, climatic phenomena may also have a significant impact upon the island's flora and fauna. An analysis of 18 years of monthly satellite images from the National Oceanographic and ...

Coplanarity is a relationship of a set of points that exist on a single plane. Coplanarities can be easily observed in a scene with planer surfaces, and these types of coplanarities have been widely used for 3D reconstructions based on geometrical constraints. Other types of coplanarities that can be observed from images are those observed as cross sections of planes and scenes; for example, po...
