Abstract

Five new satellite image interpretation modules are developed. The modules are for: 1) construction of a realistic color image, 2) feature recognition by intensity filtering, 3) removal of spurious spots by next -neighbor count comparison, 4) deviation-amplification filtering, and 5) feature recognition by spectral distribution pattern. The modules were applied to a set of IKONOS images of 8 x 8 km area of the city of Daejeon, Korea, to recognize the distribution of various features such as water resources, playgrounds, forests, etc.
