Very high resolution satellite and aerial images provide valuable information to researchers. With their availability, there has been much interest to extract man-made objects from such imageries. Among these, detection of objects such as buildings, road segments, and urban area boundaries play crucial roles especially for municipalities, government agencies, rescue teams, military, and other civil agencies. For a human expert, manually extracting this valuable information is tedious and prone to errors. Therefore, advanced object detection algorithms should be developed to detect objects...

Rapid development of remote sensing technology in recent years has greatly increased availability of high-resolution satellite image data. However, detailed analysis of such large data sets also requires innovative new techniques in image and signal processing.

This important text/reference presents a comprehensive review of image processing methods, for the analysis of land use in residential areas. Combining a theoretical framework with highly practical applications, making use of both well-known methods and cutting-edge techniques in computer vision, the book describes a system...
