Contemporary satellite Earth Observation systems provide growing amounts of very high spatial resolution data that can be used in various applications. An increasing number of sensors make it possible to monitor selected areas in
While it is well-known that texture can be used to classify very high resolution (VHR) data, the limits of its applicability have not been unequivocally specified. This study examines whether it is possible to
The goal of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) is to provide global cloud amount statistics for atmospheric radiation flux modeling, which is a key element of climate change studies. However, ISCCP estimates
In this paper we present the results of research carried out to assess the usefulness of wavelet-based measures of image texture for classification of panchromatic VHR satellite image content. The study is based on
Over the last years, many features describing satellite images have been proposed. In this paper we analyse and compare fractal and multifractal features in the context of the discrimination of the four most common
Initiated in 2007, the Area Frame Sampling Europe subtask of the Seasonal and Annual Change Monitoring Service (SATChMo) Core Service in the geoland2 project delivered its final products in 2012. Three of these are
The paper presents the results of the study of usefulness of selected textural features for describing the content of image chips (1024 by 1024 pixels) cut from WorldView-2 panchromatic images. Several texture analysis techniques
In our work we analyse fractal and multifractal characteristics for description and extraction of information from very high spatial resolution satellite images. In particular, we propose the degree of multifractality as a parameter for
W pracy przedstawiamy formalizm multifraktalny, jako narzędzie wspomagające opis i ekstrakcję informacji z wysokorozdzielczych zobrazowań satelitarnych. Podejście to opiera się na założeniu, że na pojedynczy obraz (multifraktal) składa się wiele fraktali, każdy o innym
Texture is considered as one of the most crucial image features used commonly in computer vision. It is important source of information about image content, especially for single-band images. In this paper we present
