This paper proposes a novel automatic geo-spatial object recognition algorithm for high resolution satellite imaging. The proposed algorithm consists of two main steps; a hypothesis generation step with a local feature-based algorithm and a verification step with a shape-based approach. In the hypothesis generation step, a set of hypothesis for possible object locations is generated, aiming lower missed detections and higher false-positives by using a Bag of Visual Words type approach. In the verification step, the foreground objects are first extracted by a semi-supervised image segmentation algorithm, utilizing detection results from the previous step, and then, the shape descriptors for segmented objects are utilized to prune out the false positives. Based on simulation results, it can be argued that the proposed algorithm achieves both high precision and high recall rates as a result of taking advantage of both the local feature-based and the shape-based object detection approaches. The superiority of the proposed method is due to the ability of minimization of false alarm rate and since most of the object shapes contain more characteristic and discriminative information about their identity and functionality.

Geospatial Object Recognition From High Resolution Satellite Imagery Ergul, Mustafa; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2013-01-01) In this paper, a novel automatic geo-spatial object recognition algorithm from high resolution satellite imagery is proposed. The proposed algorithm consists of two main steps; the generation of hypothesis with a local feature based algorithm and verification step with a shape based approach. The superiority of this method is the ability of minimization of false alarm number in the recognition and this is because object shape includes more characteristic and discriminative information about object identity ...
A Computationally Efficient Appearance-Based Algorithm for Geospatial Object Detection Arslan, Duygu; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2012-04-27) A computationally efficient appearance-based algorithm for geospatial object detection is presented and evaluated specifically for aircraft detection from satellite imagery. An aircraft operator exploiting the edge information via gray level differences between the aircraft and its background is constructed with Haar-like polygon regions by using the shape information of the aircraft as an invariant. Fast evaluation of the aircraft operator is achieved by means of integral image. Rotated integral images are...
Region of Interest Detection Based Fast and Robust Geo-Spatial Object Recognition Gürbüz, Yeti Ziya; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2013-01-01) In this paper a novel computationally efficient algorithm to detect objects automatically from high definition satellite imagery with high performance is presented. The proposed algorithm has three main steps supporting each other: Filtering, shape based and appearance based object detection. A region of interest indicating the possible regions that may have the objects to be detected is determined in a very short time via filtering step. In the remaining steps, the objects are extracted from that region an...
Robust Automatic Target Recognition in FLIR imagery Soyman, Yusuf (2012-04-24) In this paper, a robust automatic target recognition algorithm in FLIR imagery is proposed. Target is first segmented out from the background using wavelet transform. Segmentation process is accomplished by parametric Gabor wavelet transformation. Invariant features that belong to the target, which is segmented out from the background, are then extracted via moments. Higher-order moments, while providing better quality for identifying the image, are more sensitive to noise. A trade-off study is then perform...
A Learning-Based Resegmentation Method for Extraction of Buildings in Satellite Images Dikmen, Mehmet; Halıcı, Uğur (2014-12-01) This letter introduces a new method for building extraction in satellite images. The algorithm first identifies the shadow segments on an oversegmented image, and then neighboring shadow segments, which are assumed to be cast by a single building, are merged. Next, candidate regions where buildings most likely occur are detected by using these shadow regions. Along with this information, closeness to shadows in illumination direction and spectral properties of segments are used to classify them as belonging...
