In this paper, a novel solution to the problem of unsupervised change detection in bitemporal satellite images is presented. Information measures, which are well-known and commonly-used in the change detection literature, result in unsharp change maps and masks without well defined boundaries as a result of local computation. In the proposed method, mutual information with local joint distributions computed within the over-segments after image registration, radiometric correction and some preprocessing steps are observed to eliminate the problem of sharpness. Results, which are presented comparatively with fundamental approaches, show that the change masks obtained by the proposed method are convenient for different application areas, such as damage assesment of man made structures after natural disasters, and/or urban planning.

Superpixel Based Unsupervised Change Detection of Manmade Targets on Satellite Images Buzcu, Ilker; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2015-05-19) In this paper, a novel solution to the problem of change detection in bitemporal satellite images is presented. The approach can be described as 1) Preprocessing, in which both images' luminance levels are approximated to the same distribution via the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) algorithm and noise is filtered out by the use of a Bilateral Noise Reduction (BNR) filter; 2) Extraction of a joint superpixel map of both images using a novel method; 3) Calculation of a variety of met...
Deep convolutional neural networks for airport detection in remote sensing images Budak, Umit; Sengur, Abdulkadir; Halıcı, Uğur (2018-05-05) This study investigated the use of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in providing a solution for the problem of airport detection in remote sensing images (RSIs). In recent years, Deep CNNs have gained much attention with numerous applications having been undertaken in the area of computer vision. Researchers generally approach airport detection as a pattern recognition problem, in which first various distinctive features are extracted, and then a classifier is adopted to detect airports. CNNs not o...
Abnormal Crowd Behavior Detection Using Novel Optical Flow-Based Features Direkoglu, Cem; Sah, Melike; O'Connor, Noel E. (2017-09-01) In this paper, we propose a novel optical flow based features for abnormal crowd behaviour detection. The proposed feature is mainly based on the angle difference computed between the optical flow vectors in the current frame and in the previous frame at each pixel location. The angle difference information is also combined with the optical flow magnitude to produce new, effective and direction invariant event features. A one-class SVM is utilized to learn normal crowd behavior. If a test sample deviates si...
Automated Detection of Arbitrarily Shaped Buildings in Complex Environments From Monocular VHR Optical Satellite Imagery Ok, Ali Ozgun; Senaras, Caglar; Yuksel, Baris (2013-03-01) This paper introduces a new approach for the automated detection of buildings from monocular very high resolution (VHR) optical satellite images. First, we investigate the shadow evidence to focus on building regions. To do that, we propose a new fuzzy landscape generation approach to model the directional spatial relationship between buildings and their shadows. Once all landscapes are collected, a pruning process is developed to eliminate the landscapes that may occur due to non-building objects. The fina...
Efficient Airport Detection Using Line Segment Detector and Fisher Vector Representation Budak, Umit; Halıcı, Uğur; Sengur, Abdulkadir; Karabatak, Murat; Xiao, Yang (2016-08-01) In this letter, a two-stage method for airport detection on remote sensing images is proposed. In the first stage, a new algorithm composed of several line-based processing steps is used for extraction of candidate airport regions. In the second stage, the scale-invariant feature transformation and Fisher vector coding are used for efficient representation of the airport and nonairport regions and support vector machines employed for classification. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed metho...
