With the availability of high-resolution commercial satellite images, automated analysis and object extraction became even a more important topic in remote sensing. As shadows cover a significant portion of an image, they play an important role on automated analysis. While they degrade performance of applications such as image registration, shadow is an important cue for information such as man-made structures. In this article, a shadow detection algorithm that makes use of near-infrared information in combination with RGB bands is introduced. The algorithm is applied on an application for automated building detection.

Automatic target detection has an important application field in today's missile technology. Therefore, there are many studies in this field. In this context, morphological operation (MO) based methods were firstly investigated and tested on the prepared scenarios. As a results of test results, methods were compared on the basis of the detection performance, user defined parameter quantity and processing time. After comparison results, the methods are determined which has better detection performance, do no...
Ship detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images by deep learning
Ayhan, Oner; Sen, Nigar (2019-01-01)
In this paper, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based method to detect ships in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The architecture of proposed CNN has customized parts to detect small targets. In order to train, validate and test the CNN, TerraSAR-X Spot mode images are used. In the phase of data preparation, a GIS (Geographic Information System) specialist labels ships manually in all images. Later, image patches that contain ships are cropped and ground truths are also obtained from pr...
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...
