MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGE UNDERSTANDING: FROM LAND CLASSIFICATION TO BUILDING AND ROAD DETECTION, pp.83-98, 2011 (SCI-Expanded)
In Chap. 6, our land use classification approach was based on the organization of straight lines (structure) in panchromatic images. It is well-known that multispectral information also offers a great deal of information for land use classification. This chapter describes an approach to combining structural information, obtained from 1 m panchromatic Ikonos images with spectral information, obtained from the corresponding 4 m multispectral images with application to identifying areas of significant land development. There are several contributions in the literature in which spatial and spectral features have been combined in land use classification and related problems. However, none to date use the line support region structural feature, as we do.(1)
