DIFET: Distributed Feature Extraction Tool For High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing Images

In this paper, we propose distributed feature extraction tool from high spatial resolution remote sensing images. Tool is based on Apache Hadoop framework and Hadoop Image Processing Interface. Two corner detection (Harris and Shi-Tomasi) algorithms and five feature descriptors (SIFT, SURF, FAST, BRIEF, and ORB) are considered. Robustness of the tool in the task of … Read more

Tiling of Satellite Images to Capture an Island Object

Abstract. This study proposes a novel tiling approach to capture an image of an entire object. Multi-spectral and multi-temporal satellite images are obtained a priori, and these individual image pieces can then be joined together at a later date to form an image of the entire object. The effectiveness of the proposed technique has been … Read more

Resource- and content-aware, scalable stitching framework for remote sensing images

Abstract This paper proposes a new approach to solving the scalability problem in stitching and registration of satellite images. The image stitching process is mostly utilized to capture an image of an entire object, whose parts fall in separate but overlapping mosaics. Due to their high resolutions and huge sizes, the stitching of satellite mosaic … Read more
