Important aspects of automatic patternrecognition systems are their ability to efficiently discriminate and detect proper targets with low false alarms. In this paper we extend the applications of passive imaging polarimetry to effectively discriminate and detect different color targets of identical shapes using color-blind imaging sensor. For this case of study we demonstrate that traditional color-blind polarization-insensitive imaging sensors that rely only on the spatial distribution of targets suffer from high false detection rates, especially in scenarios where multiple identical shape targets are present. On the other hand we show that color-blind polarization-sensitive imaging sensors can successfully and efficiently discriminate and detect true targets based on their color only. We highlight the main advantages of using our proposed polarization-encoded imaging sensor.
In this paper the potential of remotesensing as a tool to study Marine Sanctuary has been explored. There are two main methods that can be used to extract information from the aerial photograph / satellite imagery;vi...

Tropospheric aerosols play an important role in climate change. Aerosols are typically studied over deep clear water, due to the relatively constant reflectance of water and the ability to easily separate surface and atmospheric contributions on the satellite signal. A methodology based on multi-spectral approach was employed to map tropospheric aerosols concentrations over the water areas surrounding Penang Island. The aim of this study was to estimate the pollutants concentrations using remotesensing techniques. In this study, we attempted to derive AOT(Aerosol Optical Thickness) values from the sky transmittance measurements in the visible spectrum. The transmittance values were measured at the sea surface using a handheld spectroradiometer. The correspond PM10 readings were taken simultaneously during the transmittance measurements acquisition of the imageries using a Dust Trak(TM) meter. The PCI Geomatica version 9.1 digital imageprocessing software was used in all image-processing analyses. The results produced a linear relationship between PM10 and AOT values over the water surface of Penang Island. Finally, The PM10 concentration map over the water surface of Penang Island was generated using Kriging interpolation technique. This study has indicated the potential use of a handheld spectroradiometer for air quality study.

Principal component analysis (PCA) has been used in many applications ranging from social science to space science, for the purpose of data compression and feature extraction. Usage of PCA for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification, though widely reported by remote-sensing researchers, has not been exploited much by automatic target recognition (ATR) community. In the present paper, PCA has been used in SAR-ATR using the MSTAR data base, and comparison has been made with the conventional conditional Gaussian model based Bayesian classifier [1]. The results have been compared based on percentage of correct classification, receiver operating characteristics (ROC), and performance with limited amount of training data. By all standards of comparison, the PCA based classifier was observed to outperform the conditional Gaussian model based Bayesian classifier (CGBC) or at the worst it performs at par. And given the computational and algorithmic simplicity of PCA based classifier, the new algorithm was concluded to be a highly prospective candidate for real time ATR systems.

Hyperspectral sensors can facilitate automatic patternrecognition in cluttered imagery since man made objects often differ considerably from the natural background in absorbing and reflecting the radiation at various wavelengths i.e., the identification of the objects is based on spectral signature of the objects in the scene. In this paper, a unified approach for patternrecognition with known object signature is formulated by generating Gaussian mixture model to effectively utilize the underlying statistics of the data cube. To estimate the model parameters, enhanced version of the stochastic expectation maximization (SEM) algorithm is employed, which is also used successfully for image classification by reducing the unwanted information in the data cube. In the proposed scheme, at first we used the modified SEM to identify the different classes in the scene including the desired object class. Then, the Mahalanobis distance between the desired object signature and distributions of the mixture model is employed to detect the object class. Finally, the maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability for each pixel is estimated and Bayesian decision law is applied in order to isolate object pixels. The proposed algorithm has been tested using real life hyperspectral imagery and the results show that the algorithm shows robust performance in noisy environment.

We address a new approach to the problem of improvement of the quality of multi-grade spatial-spectral images provided by several remotesensing (RS) systems as required for environmental resource management with the use of multisource RS data. The problem of multi-spectral reconstructive imaging with multisource information fusion is stated and treated as an aggregated ill-conditioned inverse problem of reconstruction of a high-resolution image from the data provided by several sensor systems that employ the same or different image formation methods. The proposed fusion-optimization technique aggregates the experiment design regularization paradigm with neural-network-based implementation of the multisource information fusion method. The maximum entropy (ME) requirement and projection regularization constraints are posed as prior knowledge for fused reconstruction and the experiment-design regularization methodology is applied to perform the optimization of multisource information fusion. Computationally, the reconstruction and fusion are accomplished via minimization of the energy function of the proposed modified multistate Hopfield-type neural network (NN) that integrates the model parameters of all systems incorporating a priori information, aggregate multisource measurements and calibration data. The developed theory proves that the designed maximum entropy neural network (MENN) is able to solve the multisource fusion tasks without substantial complication of its computational structure independent on the number of systems to be fused. For each particular case, only the proper adjustment of the MENN's parameters (i.e. interconnection strengths and bias inputs) should be accomplished. Simulation examples are presented to illustrate the good overall performance of the fused reconstruction achieved with the developed MENN algorithm applied to the real-world multi-spectral environmental imagery.

A method for extracting statistics from hyperspectral data and generating synthetic scenes suitable for scene generation models is presented. Regions composed of a general surface type with a small intrinsic variation, such as a forest or crop field, are selected. The spectra are decomposed using a basis set derived from spectra present in the scene and the abundances of the basis members in each pixel spectrum found. Statistics such as the abundance means, covariances and channel variances are extracted. The scenes are synthesized using a coloring transform with the abundance covariance matrix. The pixel-to-pixel spatial correlations are modeled by an autoregressive moving average texture generation technique. Synthetic reflectance cubes are constructed using the generated abundance maps, the basis set and the channel variances. Enhancements include removing any pattern from the scene and reducing the skewness. This technique is designed to work on atmospherically-compensated data in any spectral region, including the visible-shortwave infrared HYDICE and AVIRIS data presented here. Methods to evaluate the performance of this approach for generating scene textures include comparing the statistics of the synthetic surfaces and the original data, using a signal-to-clutter ratio metric, and inserting sub-pixel spectral signatures into scenes for detection using spectral matched filters.
A novel method of pixel-weighting is proposed to calculate the size of a detected object in an image captured using a single camera, The calculated object size does not vary significantly regardless of the location of...

A compact laboratory demonstrator providing both active polarimetric and multispectral images is designed. Its buildings blocks include, at emission part, a multi-wavelength optical parametric oscillator and, at the reception part, a polarimetric hyperspectral imager. Some of the results obtained with this system are illustrated and discussed. In particular, we show that a multispectral polarimetric image brings additional information on the scene, especially when interpreted in conjunction with its counterpart intensity image, since these two images are complementary in most cases. Moreover, although hyperspectral imaging might be mandatory for recognition of small targets, we evidence that the number of channels can be limited to a set of few wavelengths as far as target detection is considered.
