Synthetic radar imagerecognition is an area of interest for military applications including automatic target recognition, air traffic control, and remotesensing. Here a dynamic range compression two-beam coupling joint transform correlator for detecting synthetic aperture radar (SAR) targets is utilized. The joint input image consists of a pre-power-law, enhanced scattering center of the input image and a linearly synthesized power-law enhanced scattering center template. Enhancing the scattering center of both the synthetic template and the input image furnishes the conditions for achieving dynamic range compression correlation in two-beam coupling. Dynamic range compression: (a) enhances the signal to noise ratio, (b) enhances the high frequencies relative to low frequencies, and (c) converts the noise to high frequency components. This improves the correlation peak intensity to the mean of the surrounding noise significantly. Dynamic range compression correlation has already been demonstrated to outperform many optimal correlation filters in detecting signals in severe noise environments. The performance is evaluated via established metrics, such as peak-to-correlation energy (PCE), Homer efficiency and correlation peak intensity. The results showed significant improvement as the power increased.

Grassland cover near Lake Qinghai in western China was mapped into mile percentage classes from a TM-derived Normalised Difference Bareness Index (NDBI) image based on 178 in situ samples collected within 1 m(2) sites. Their ground coordinates logged with a GPS unit were used to locate their pixel values on the NDBI image. A new method, in which the in situ samples and their pixel NDBI values were independently ranked prior to the establishment of their linear regression relationship, was applied to converting the NDBI image into a map of grass coverage. This relationship enabled the NDBI image to be translated into a map of grassland cover with a meaningful spatial pattern. Assessed against visually interpreted results, grassland cover was mapped at an overall accuracy of 80%. In order for this method to generate satisfactory results, image pixel NDBI values have to be normalized so that they have the same standard deviation as that of the ground samples. This proposed method should be applicable to any grassland where grassland cover varies Subtly at the pixel scale of the image used.

In classification of a multispectral remotesensingimage, it is usually difficult to obtain higher classification accuracy if we only consider the image's spectral feature or texture feature alone. In this paper, we present a new approach by applying the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm to find a multi-feature vector composed of spectral and texture features in order to get a better result in the classification. The experimental results show that ACO algorithm is helpful in subset searching of the features used to classify the multispectral remote sense image. Using the combination of the spectral and texture features obtained by ACO in classification always produces a better accuracy.

Usually changes in remotesensingimages go along with the appearance or disappearance of some edges. In addition, pixels located along the edges are likely to weakly influenced by its neighborhood pixels, while pixels located far from the edges commonly have a tightly correlation among them. In this paper, we propose a novel change detection technique based on adaptive Markov Random Fields (MRFs) for high resolution satellite images with combined color and texture features. The technique is composed of two main steps: (1) the input images are marked with different region indexes by the combined color and edge features; (2) change maps are obtained under the MRF framework with alterable order of neighborhood and variable smooth weight coefficient controlled by the index map. The main contribution of this paper is that the spatial-contextual information included in the remotesensingimagery is correctly and adaptively exploited under an adaptive MRF framework. Experiments results obtained on a set of remotesensingimagery confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes an extension to the active contour algorithm for the detection of linear patterns within remotesensing and vibration data. The proposed technique uses an alternative energy force, overcoming the limitations of the original algorithm, which relies upon simple energy formulations to extract intensity and gradient information from an image. We overcome these by forming a noise model, which is used to detect a feature¿s presence, and by integrating information from several locations within an image to strengthen the detection process.

Transform methods in signal and imageprocessing generally speaking are easy to use and can play a number of useful roles in remotesensing environmental monitoring. Examples are the pollution and forest fire monitoring. Transform methods offer effective procedures to derive the most important information for further processing or human interpretation and to extract important features for pattern classification. Most transform methods are used for image (or signal) enhancement and compression. However other transform methods are available for linear or nonlinear discrimination in the classification problems. In this paper we will examine the major transform methods which are useful for remotesensing especially for environmental monitoring problems. Many challenges to signal processing will be reviewed. Computer results are shown to illustrate some of the methods discussed.
