Book Description
The diversity and the quality of the images provided by satellite imagery is of great interest to remote sensing centres and users in crop management, geology, mineral or oil prospecting, hydrology, oceanography, and mapping. However, data gathering and updating for geography and mapping is one of the most difficult tasks. This study provides a semi-automatic and an automatic extraction of linear structures from satellite imagery. It presents the results of mathematical morphology processing of satellite imagery and of the standard deviation method improved by the use of mathematical morphology functions, with their limitations; a method based on graph theory which is used to detect linear structures, along with the theoretical aspect of the theory; and the results of an automated process suitable for the detection of linear structures from satellite imagery.
