This paper presents a new technique for vehicle detection from aerial imagery. The proposed technique is simple but more effective than some of the existing techniques reported earlier. This research involves an overall cascade system that concentrates on vehicle detection mainly in rural and dense environments. This research uses and compares between certain feature extraction techniques and s...

Although image linear feature is important in many applications, it is difficult to extract precisely, because back ground is complex and feature is not always significant. In this paper, we propose a level set based automatic linear feature extraction method using prior shapes. We introduce a variable shape model which together with the level set function for segmentation and extract linear fe...

An enhanced region-growing approach for segmenting regions is introduced. A region-growing algorithm is merged with stopping criteria based on a robust noise-tolerant edge-detection routine. The region-grow algorithm is then used to segment the shadow region in a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image. This approach recognizes that SAR phenomenology causes speckle in imagery even to the shadow ar...

The purpose of multispectral satellite imagery preprocessing for Land Cover Classification is creation of enhanced satellite images before further processing and imagery analysis with final land classification and automated linear object and area border detection for selected classes of objects.

A target recognition capability is described which performs color detection target type and pose hypothesis generation and target ver i cation by D alignment of target models to range and optical imagery The term coregis tration is introduced to describe target range and optical sensor alignment The following key veri cation components are described and demonstrated target model feature extract...

In this paper, Shortest Path Design Problem (SPDP) in which the path is incident to all cells is considered. The bi-directional path is one of the known types of configuration of networks for Automated Guided Vehi-cles (AGV).To solve this problem, two algorithms are developed. For each algorithm an Integer Linear Pro-gramming (ILP) is determined. The objective functions of both algorithms are t...
