Abstract

With the new generation of satellite systems, very high resolution satellite images will be available daily at a high delivery rate. The exploitation of such a huge amount of data will be made possible by the design of high performance analysis algorithms for decision making systems. In particular, the detection and recognition of complex man-made objects is a new challenge coming with this new level of resolution. In this study, we develop a system that recognizes such structured and compact objects like bridges or roundabouts. The original contribution of this work is the use of structural shape attributes in an appearance-based statistical learning method framework leading to valuable recognition and false alarm rates. This hybrid structural/statistical approach aims to construct an intermediate step between the low-level image characteristics and high-level semantic concepts.
