An algorithm has been developed for snow recognition (SR) over mountainous areas of Europe from satellite imagery. The algorithm uses Meteosat Second Generations (MSG) instrument Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-Red Imager (SEVIRI) data that are acquired in every 15 minutes through whole day. Although SEVIRI has low spatial resolution, its high temporal resolution provides a better discrimination capacity between ice clouds and snow. Discrimination of snow and clouds is the most challenging part of snow recognition algorithm development. The proposed algorithm relies on Satellite Application Facility to support Nowcasting and Very Short Range Forecastings (SAFNWC) cloud products. A final thematic map has been produced which is consisting of 3 different classes: snow, cloud and land. Validation of the SEVIRI SR product was held in three stages.The obtained high performance of the SR product is presented with the analysis results.

Wavelet-based outlier detection and denoising of airborne laser scanning data
Akyay, Tolga; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2008)
The method of airborne laser scanning also named as LIDAR has recently turned out to be an efficient way for generating high quality digital surface and elevation models. In this work, wavelet-based outlier detection and different wavelet thresholding (wavelet shrinkage) methods for denoising of airborne laser scanning data are discussed. The task is to investigate the effect of wavelet-based outlier detection and find out which wavelet thresholding methods provide best denoising results for post-processi...
Direct georeferencing and orthorectification of airborne digital images
Kiracı, Ali Coşkun; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2008)
GPS/INS (Global Positioning System / Inertial Navigation System) brings possibility of relaxing the demand for aerial triangulation in stereo model construction and rectification. In this thesis a differential rectification algorithm is programmed with Matlab software for aerial frame camera images. This program is tested using exterior orientation parameters obtained by GPS/INS and images are ortho-rectified. Ground Control Points (GCP) are measured in the orthorectified images and compared with other rect...
Road extraction from high-resolution satellite images
Özkaya, Meral; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2009)
Roads are significant objects of an infrastructure and the extraction of roads from aerial and satellite images are important for different applications such as automated map generation and change detection. Roads are also important to detect other structures such as buildings and urban areas. In this thesis, the road extraction approach is based on Active Contour Models for 1- meter resolution gray level images. Active Contour Models contains Snake Approach. During applications, the road structure was sepa...
Approaches for automatic urban building extraction and updating from high resolution satellite imagery
Koç San, Dilek; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2009)
Approaches were developed for building extraction and updating from high resolution satellite imagery. The developed approaches include two main stages: (i) detecting the building patches and (ii) delineating the building boundaries. The building patches are detected from high resolution satellite imagery using the Support Vector Machines (SVM) classification, which is performed for both the building extraction and updating approaches. In the building extraction part of the study, the previously detected bu...
Positional uncertainty analysis using data uncertainy engine a case study on agricultural land parcels
Urgancı, İlksen; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2009)
Most of spatial data extraction and updating procedures require digitization of geographical entities from satellite imagery. During digitization, errors are introduced by factors like instrument deficiencies or user errors. In this study positional uncertainty of geographical objects, digitized from high resolution Quickbird satellite imagery, is assessed using Data Uncertainty Engine (DUE). It is a software tool for assessing uncertainties in environmental data; and generating realisations of uncertain da...
