With the rapid development of the remote sensing satellite, the size and the resolution of satellite images grow increasingly. The evaluation of remote sensing image quality requires precise information of control points extracted from unevaluated images and reference images. Therefore, we propose an adaptive Wallis filter method based on sparse recognition to increase the number of control poi...

Abstract—Image mining is a used to mining the images for the extraction of knowledge. Different types of satellite images contain earlier prediction of forecasting weather & their important information. Several works has been done on Satellite image mining, databases are used to store the images & query image technique is used to retrieve the images. The technique used Content Based Image Retri...

ABSTRACT: As IKONOS satellite with 1-m resolution camera has been lunched in 1999, mapping using space-borne images will be a hot issue in computer vision area and photogrammetry. It is obvious that one of the great challenges to process the high spatial resolution satellite images will be the geometric correction practice. Conventionally, the positioning of the image control points is manually...

In last the decade we witnessed a large increase in data generated by earth observing satellites. Hence, intelligent processing of the huge amount of data received by hundreds of earth receiving stations, with specific satellite image oriented approaches, presents itself as a pressing need. One of the most important steps in earlier stages of satellite image processing is cloud detection. Satel...

Time-series of satellite images reveal important information about changes in 9 environmental conditions and natural or urban landscape structures that are of potential interest to 10 citizens, historians, or policymakers. We applied a fast method of image analysis using Self 11 Organized Maps (SOM) and, more specifically, the quantization error (QE), for the visualization of 12 critical change...

This paper proposes an image-based modeling of clouds where realistic clouds are created from satellite images using metaballs. The intention of the paper is for applications to space flight simulators, the visualization of the weather information, and the simulation of surveys of the earth. In the proposed method, the density distribution inside the clouds is defined by a set of metaballs. Par...

We present an approach for tracking water courses in satellite images, a general strategy for tracking and recognising features in computer vision tasks on satellite images. Our approach is related to recent work in automatic image interpretation and urban scene analysis. We report a method for image recognition from multi-spectral SPOT satellite imagery, based on the different response of wate...
