Automatic segmentation of aerialimages has been a challenging area of research in recent years. Among numerous imagesegmentation methods, the level set method has received a great deal of attention which could represent contours or surfaces with complex topology and change their topology in a natural way. The solution of classic level set model, however, can be easily trapped into a local minimum. To overcome this problem, a novel modified dual Chan-Vese model is proposed in this paper. This proposed model is composed of two contours, which evolve towards the edges of objects from inside of the objects and outside of the objects. By reducing the differences between the interior contour and the external contour, the proposed model can partly prevent the solution of the level set method from a local minimum. Experiments show that the proposed model can obtain exact aerial image segmentation.

Scene understanding of aerialimagery is essential for proper emergency response during catastrophic events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. Unmanned aerial Vehicles (UAVs) capture aerialimages and analyze the context by passing images into a semantic segmentation model for monitoring damaged areas. However, the state-of-the-art semantic segmentation models are mainly trained and evaluated on ground-based datasets such as Cityscapes, MS-COCO, and CamVid, unsuitable for aerial image segmentations. For example, extracted features from objects in aerial perspective are distinct from objects on the ground view. Hence, neural networks cannot properly segment an aerial scene, especially on deformed or damaged objects during disasters. This research analyzes current semantic segmentation models to explore the feasibility of applying these models for emergency response during catastrophic events. We compare the performance of real-time semantic segmentation models with non-real-time counterparts constrained by aerialimages under adversarial settings. Furthermore, we train several models on the FloodNet dataset, containing UAV images captured after Hurricane Harvey, and benchmark their execution on special classes such as flooded-buildings vs. non-flooded buildings or flooded-roads vs. non-flooded roads. In this research, real-time UNet-MobileNetV3 yields 59.3% test mIoU while non-real-time PSPNet [1] attains 79.7% test mIoU on the FloodNet, demonstrating the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency in the segmentation models.

Automatic segmentation of aerialimages has been a challenging task in recent years. Region-based active contour of Chan-Vese has been proposed to detect objects in a given image. This algorithm is more powerful than classical edge-based active contour algorithms. In this paper, aerialimages are automatically segmented into a number of homogeneous areas using Chan-Vese model implemented by Narrow Band Level Set method with re-initialization together with extracting color and texture features. For this purpose, a variety of different color and texture features have been tested. The results show that incorporation of Gabor filters in HSV color space leads the most accurate results.

The goal of this work is to automatically detect and classify a set of geoenvironmental zones of interest in panchromatic aerialimages. Focused on a specific area, the zones to be detected are vegetation/mangrove, degradation/desertification, interface water-sediment and plain. These zones are very interesting from a geological point of view due to their spatial distribution and interrelation, which contribute to evaluate the natural anthropic impact level. The approach to unsupervisedly extract these zones from an input image has two steps. Firstly, the image is automatically segmented in homogeneous colored regions using the Bounded Irregular Pyramid (BIP). The BIP is a hierarchy of successively reduced graphs which produces accurate segmentation results with a low computational cost. Secondly, each obtained region is classified using texture features to determine if it belongs to one of the geoenvironmental zones of interest. As texture features, we have evaluated two variations of the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) descriptor: the Extended-LBP (ELBP) and the LBP variance (LBPV). Both methods include a local contrast measure. For classifying the obtained features, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been employed. At this stage, we have evaluated the use of linear and radial basis function (RBF) kernels. The whole framework was tested using images obtained from our specific area of interest: the location of Carenero, Miranda state (Venezuela), in years 1936 and 1992. They allow to study the variation of the geoenvironmental zones of interest of this location in this period of time. These images are low quality images and present significant variations in illumination. This makes difficult the texture classification of their zones. However, the obtained results show that the proposed approach provides good results in terms of identification of zones of geoenviromental interest in these images.

This paper describes an innovative aerialimages segmentation algorithm. The algorithm is based upon the knowledge of image multiscale geometric analysis using contourlet transform, which can extract the image's intrinsic geometrical structure efficiently. The contourlet transform is introduced to represent the most distinguished and the rotation invariant features of the image. A modified Mumford-Shah model is applied to segment the aerialimage by a multifeature level set evolution. To avoid possible local minima in the level set evolution, we adjust the weighting coefficients of the multiscale features in different evolution periods, i.e. the global features have bigger weighting coefficients at the beginning stages which roughly de. ne the shape of the contour, then bigger weighting coefficients are assigned to the detailed features for segmenting the precise shape. When the algorithm is applied to segment the aerialimages with several classes, satisfied experimental results are achieved by the proposed method.
