고해상도 위성영상의 분류 기술은 최근 가장 활발히 연구되고 있는 분야 중 하나로 텍스쳐(texture), NDVI, PCA 영상 등 다양한 전처리 정보들을 추출하고 이를 멀티스펙트럴 밴드와 조합하여 분류 정확도를 높이는 기술을 개발하는 연구들이 주를 이루고 있다. 고해상도 위성영상에서 건물의 그림자와 옆벽면의 폐색 지역은 개체 추출 및 분류를 방해하는 주된 요인이 되며, 다양한 형태와 분광특성을 갖는 개개의 건물은 자동 분류 과정을 통해 제대로 식별되지 않는다는 한계를 갖는다. 이에 본 연구에서는 KOMPSAT-2 단영상으로부터 효율적으로 건물 정보 및 토지피복을 분류하기 위하여, 추출된 건물 정보를 바탕으로 건물의 그림자와 폐색지역을 보정한 후 비건물 지역에 대한 분류를 수행하여 분류 정확도를 높이고자 하였다. 우선 삼각벡터구조 기반의 반자동 인터페이스를 이용하여 건물의 3차원 모델 및 그림자 영역을 추출하고 이로부터 추출된 그림자 영역을 효과적으로 보정하기 위해 반복 선형회귀 연산을 이용한 그림자 보정을 수행한 후 inpainting 기법을 건물 폐색영역 복원에 적용하여 영상의 품질을 향상시켰다. 이러한 과정을 통해 도심 지역의 영상 분석에 있어 가장 큰 오차를 일으키는 인공물의 그림자와 폐색에 의한 오차를 최소화한 후 분류에 적용하여 이를 보정 전 영상을 이용한 분류 결과와 비교하였다.

위성영상 기술의 발달과 고해상도 위성영상의 해상도 규제가 완화됨에 따라 건물의 높이 정보를 획득하는데 있어 고해상도 위성영상의 그림자 정보를 이용하는 연구들이 활발히 수행되어지고 있다. 그림자 정보를 이용하여 건물 높이 정보를 획득하는 연구의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 정확한 건물의 그림자 탐지가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 단영상을 이용한 그림자 탐지기법인 임계값법(Thresholding), 영상분류법, 영역확장법(Region Growing)을 건물의 그림자 탐지에 적용하여 각 기법의 장단점과 정확도를 평가하였다. 영상에서 수동으로 건물의 그림자를 디지타이징한 참조 자료와 기법들을 적용하여 탐지한 결과 영상을 시각적으로 비교하였고, 오차행렬(Confusion Matrix)을 이용한 전체정확도(Accuracy), F-measure, AOR(Area Overlap Ratio)을 이용하여 정량적인 정확도평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과 영역확장법을 적용한 경우 시각적 정량적으로 가장 높은 정확도를 보였으며, 영상분류법을 적용한 경우 시각적으로는 임계값을 적용한 경우보다 좋은 결과를 보였으나 정량적으로는 가장 낮은 정확도를 보였다.

A new robust approach to detect vehicles in a single frame of traffic scenes is presented. The method is based on the multi-level shadow classification, which has been shown to have the capability of extracting correct shadow shapes regardless of the operating conditions. The rationale of this classification is supported by the fact that shadow regions underneath vehicles usually exhibit darker gray level regardless of the vehicle brightness and illuminating conditions. Classified shadows provide string clues on the presence of vehicles. Unlike other schemes, neither background nor temporal information is utilized; thereby the performance is robust to the abrupt change of weather and the traffic congestion. By a simple evidential reasoning, the shadow evidences are combined with bright evidences to locate correct position of vehicles. Experimental results show the missing rate ranges form 0.9% to 7.2%, while the false alarm rate is below 4% for six traffic scenes sets under different operating conditions. The processing speed for more than 70 frames per second could be obtained for nominal image size, which makes the real-time implementation of measuring the traffic parameters possible.

This paper presents a method to detect buildings using shadow information in satellite imagery. We classify image into three categories of building region, shadow region and background region to find buildings with consistent intensity. After the removal of noises in building regions and shadow regions, buildings adjacent to shadow regions are detected using the constraint of building and shadow sizes. The algorithm has been applied to KOMPSAT and SPOT images and the result showed buildings are efficiently detected.

Generally, moving objects in surveillance video are extracted by background subtraction or frame difference method. However, moving cast shadows on object distort extracted figures which cause serious detection problems. Especially, analyzing vehicle information in video frames from a fixed surveillance camera on road, we obtain inaccurate results by shadow which vehicle causes. So, Shadow Elimination is essential to extract right objects from frames in surveillance video. And we use shadow removal algorithm for vehicle classification. In our paper, as we suppress moving cast shadow in object, we efficiently discriminate vehicle types. After we fit new object of shadow-removed object as three dimension object, we use extracted attributes for supervised learning to classify vehicle types. In experiment, we use 3 learning methods {IBL, C4.5, NN(Neural Network)} so that we evaluate the result of vehicle classification by shadow elimination.

광범위한 면적의 토지피복분류를 관찰하는데 유용하게 사용되고 있는 NOAA AVHRR 자료는 자료의 방대한 양과 구름에 의한 영향을 없애기 위하여 일반적으로 MVC(Maximum Value Composite) 처리를 하여 사용한다. 그러나 수신당시의 여러 가지 환경인자(구름, 저주파 노이즈, 산란, 구름의 그림자 등)에 의하여 각 채널의 패턴이 변화하여 오독을 할 위험성이 있다. 특히 그림자의 영향에 의해 측정치가 변화하는 NOAA 위성의 채널2영역에서는 이러한 특징이 두드러진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지상에서 실제로 측정한 자료를 기초로 하여 NOAA 영상자료에서 구름으로 인한 그림자의 영향에 관하여 조사하였고, 한 픽셀안에서 그림자의 영향이 60%이상이 될 경우에는 오독의 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Real-time object detection for distinguishing a moving object of interests from the background image in still image or video image sequence is an essential step to a correct object tracking and recognition. Moving cast shadow can be misclassified as part of objects or moving objects because the shadow region is included in the moving object region after object segmentation. For this reason, an algorithm for shadow removal plays an important role in the results of accurate moving object detection and tracking systems. To handle with the problems, an accurate algorithm based on the features of moving object and shadow in color space is presented in this paper. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective to detect a moving object and to remove shadow in test video sequences.

This study was carried out to correct shadow area in urban area on KOMPSAT-3 satellite image. For this study, we analyzed characteristics of the shadow area represented by artificial structures in urban area. The proposed shadow correction method divides shadow area into umbra and penumbra areas according to intensity of darkness. The umbra area was detected through the histogram analysis and the statistical method of the NIR image, and then penumbra area and the sunlit area were detected from around the detected umbra area. The correction of the detected umbra and penumbra area were performed by applying the linear correlation correction method. As a result, it was confirmed that the proposed shadow correction method was visually performed well. Quantitative analysis was performed through profile analysis. It is proved that proposed method is useful for shadow area correction.

Vehicle detection is the basic of traffic monitoring. Video based systems have several apparent advantages compared with other kinds of systems. However, In video based systems, shadows make troubles for vehicle detection. especially active shadows resulted from moving vehicles. In this paper a new method that combines background subtraction and edge detection is proposed for vehicle detection and shadow rejection. The method is effective and the correct rate of vehicle detection is higher than 98(%) in experiments, during which the passive shadows resulted from roadside buildings grew considerably. Based on the proposed vehicle detection method, vehicle tracking, counting, classification and speed estimation are achieved so that traffic information concerning traffic flow is obtained to describe the load of each lane.

The aerial photos need in a simple object such as cartography and ground cover classification and also in a social objects such as the city plan, environment, disaster, transportation etc. However, the shadow, which includes when taking the aerial photos, makes a trouble to interpret the ground information, and also users, who need the photos in their field tasks, have a restriction. Generally the shadow occurs by the building and surface topography, and the detail cause is by changing of the illumination in an area. For removing the shadow this study uses the single image and processes the image without the source of image and taking situation. Also, applying the entropy minimization method it generates the 1-D gray-scale invariant image for creating the shadow edge mask and using the Canny edge detection creates the shadow edge mask, and finally by filtering in Fourier frequency domain creates the intrinsic image which recovers the 3-D color information and removes the shadow.
