Spatial data mining is the extraction of implicit knowledge, spatial relations or other patterns not explicitly stored in spatial database. The focus of this paper is placed on the information derivation of spatial data. Geographical coordinates of hot spots in forest fire regions, which are extracted from the satellite images, are studied and used in the detection of likely fire points. False alarms can occur in the derived hotspots. While this false information can be identified by comparing the radiance detected at several bands, we introduce a different approach to remove some of the false alarms. We use clustering and a Hough transformation to determine regular patterns in the derived hotspots and classify them as false alarms on the assumption that fires usually do not spread in regular patterns such as in a straight line. This project demonstrates the application of spatial data mining to reduce false alarms from the set of hotspots derived from NOAA images.

In interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) processing, simulation of interferogram is a common practice. It is used as synthetic data to test and validate the whole chain of InSAR processing from the interferogram creation to the DEM reconstruction. Simulators for interferometry, those have been reported in the literature, are developed in very simplified imagery geometry model. In this paper, a interferogram simulator which deal with real radar sensor parameters and orbit data is presented.

Thresholding color video images is challenging because of the low spatial resolution and the complex backgrounds. This paper investigates the issue of thresholding these images by reducing the number of colors in order to improve automated text detection and recognition. An unsupervised thresholding approach is presented which reduces the background complexity while retaining the important text character pixels. The experiments show that our proposed thresholding approach performs significantly better than simple image histogram-based methods which generally do not produce satisfactory results.

Although hyperspectral images provide abundant information about objects, their high dimensionality also substantially increases computational burden. Dimensionality reduction offers one approach to Hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis. Currently, there are two methods to reduce the dimension, band selection and feature extraction. In this paper, we present a band selection method based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA). This method, instead of transforming the original hyperspectral images, evaluates the weight matrix to observe how each band contributes to the ICA unmixing procedure. It compares the average absolute weight coefficients of individual spectral bands and selects bands that contain more information. As a significant benefit, the ICA-based band selection retains most physical features of the spectral profiles given only the observations of hyperspectral images. We compare this method with ICA transformation and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) transformation on classification accuracy. The experimental results show that ICA-based band selection is more effective in dimensionality reduction for HSI analysis.

In this report we examine the usability of different computational image segmentation and recognition methods as a tool of water area restoration projects. An airborne, mosaic image of Maavesi water area in South-east Finland was measured in September 2000 with a three-channel camera covering parts from the spectrum in red, green and infra-red wavelengths. image segmentation and recognition methods were then applied in purpose to recognise and localize the aquatic macrophyte plant communities into several groups or by species. Results were confirmed by a field study performed in September - October 2001. The main interest of imageprocessing was to have data for design and monitoring of water plant biomass removal in near future.

Hyperspectral images contain a great amount of information in terms of hundreds of narrowband channels. This should lead to better parameter estimation and to more accurate classifications. However, traditional classification methods based on multispectral analysis fail to work properly on this type of data. High dimensional space poses a difficulty in obtaining accurate parameter estimates and as a consequence this makes unsupervised classification a challenge that requires new techniques. Thus, alternative methods are needed to take advantage of the information provided by the hyperdimensional data. Data fusion is an alternative when dealing with such large data sets in order to improve classification accuracy. Data fusion is an important process in the areas of environmental systems, surveillance, automation, medical imaging, and robotics. The uses of this technique in remotesensing have been recently expanding. A relevant application is to adapt the data fusion approaches to be used on hyperspectral imagery taking into consideration the special characteristics of such data. The approach of this paper is to presents a scheme that integrates information from most of the hyperspectral narrow-bands in order to increase the discrimination accuracy in unsupervised classification.

This paper addresses issues related to classification of images in complex spaces. The image is represented in terms of a phase and amplitude components. The classifier optimizes functions of joint real and imaginary conditional probability density functions. Bound on the total probability of errors in terms of Rayliegh quotient is derived and compared to the cases where non-complex amplitude-only signal is used. Examples of application of the proposed approach on polarimetric radar imagery indicate several orders of magnitude improvement in performance.

We propose an automatic classification procedure for multichannel remotesensing data. The method consists of several stages. An important stage is the correction of misclassifications based on the use of a nonlinear graph-based estimation technique recently introduced by us. The misclassification correction method is optimized by means of a training-based framework using genetic algorithms. It is shown that this provides a considerable improvement in classification accuracy. After primary local recognition and misclassification correction of all component images, an approach to further use the obtained data is considered. At this joint classification stage we introduce novel subclasses like "common homogeneous region", "common edge", "small sized object in one or two components", etc. Numerical simulation data as well as real imageprocessing results are presented to confirm the basic steps of remotesensing data classification and the efficiency of the proposed approach.
