In this paper, an automatic approach for identifying bridges over water in satellite images is proposed. The proposed algorithm has three main steps. It starts with extracting the water regions in the satellite image by thresholding the NIR and clustering the NDWI images. Next possible river and water canals in the extracted water mask are identified by certain geometric constraints. Finally possible bridge regions are extracted by morphological operations applied to the water and river-canal mask. An optional step for verifying the bridge regions are also proposed in the study. The verification step uses orientation information or road mask for obtaining higher precision values. Tests are conducted using the proposed approach on different satellite images and quantitative and visual results showed that algorithm is successful in identifying different sized bridges over water.

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...
A new algorithm for automatic road network extraction in multispectral satellite images Karaman, Ersin; Çınar, Umut; Gedik, Ekin; Çetin, Yasemin; Halıcı, Uğur (2012-05-09) The aim of this study is to develop automatic road extraction algorithm in satellite images. As roads have different width and surface material characteristics in urban and rural areas, a modular approach for road extraction algorithm is desired. In this study, edge detection, segmentation, clustering and vegetation and land cover analyses are used. In order to combine the results of different methods, a score map based on segmentation analysis is constructed. Quantitative and visual results show that this ...
A new method for automated estimation of joint roughness coefficient for 2D surface profiles using power spectral density Unlusoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) In this study, a new method for the objective and accurate estimation of the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) of surface profiles, which are extracted from terrestrial laser scanner point clouds, is proposed. The requirements of objectivity, accuracy, reliability, and suitability for automatic analysis have been the basic criteria in assessing the performance of the procedure for JRC estimation. The procedure to estimate the JRC value of a sample profile is based on a similarity measure, between the third-...
A Self-Supervised Decision Fusion Framework for Building Detection Senaras, Caglar; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-05-01) In this study, a new building detection framework for monocular satellite images, called self-supervised decision fusion (SSDF) is proposed. The model is based on the idea of self-supervision, which aims to generate training data automatically from each individual test image, without human interaction. This approach allows us to use the advantages of the supervised classifiers in a fully automated framework. We combine our previous supervised and unsupervised building detection frameworks to suggest a self-...
Analysis Methods for the Investigation of the Seismic Response of Concrete Dams Aldemir, Alper; Yilmazturk, Sema Melek; Yucel, Ali Riza; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın; Akman, Altug (2015-01-01) The consideratiOn of the dam-foundation-reservoir interaction is extremely important for estimating the seismic response of concrete gravity dams. Moreover, nonlinear analysis may be required for determining the possible risk associated with dams. In order to address these issues, DSI recently published the "Guidelines for Seismic Design of Concrete Dams". Authors who have contributed to the preparation of this document provide a perspective on the seismic safety/design of concrete dams and structural analy...
