This paper gives the definition of the high-dimensional cross product and its calculation by extending the 3-D cross product definition into the high-dimensional vector *** on the properties of the cross product,the volume variance index(VVI)is proposed to be used in extracting automatically the endmembers of the hypherspectral imagery which eliminates the shortcoming of the traditional method of using simplex only where the extraction results were easily impacted by the abnormal pixels.A case study of endmembers extraction experiment using the VVI method with the AVIRIS data for Cuprite has shown a very good result.

Automatic inshore ship detection from remote sensing imagery has many important applications, such as ship change detection and harbor dynamic surveillance. Stable performance of inshore ship detection is vital to the analysis of ship change and then determines the harbor surveillance effect. However, it is hard to detect inshore ships utilizing the traditional area-based method because the grayscale and texture character of inshore ships are similar to that of the shore. In this paper, a new method based on invariant generalized Hough transform is introduced to extract ship shape using the evidence-gathering procedure. In contrast with other shape extraction methods used in inshore ships detection, our method is specially tolerant to noise and occlusion, and also invariant to translation, scale and rotation transformation. Moreover, our method can be used to separate ships moored together that can benefit to ship recognition. Experiment results are demonstrated on the optical remote sensing imagery from Google Earth.

The ambiguous Doppler centroid causes incorrect estimation result of the radial velocity. For moving targets with fast radial velocity, an unambiguous estimation approach of the radial velocity is introduced for the airborne SAR system in this paper. First, two channels carried different wavelength can be constructed by range multilook processing (RMLP). Second, the instantaneous frequency curve of the moving target is obtained by polynomial fitting for each channel, where the linear term denotes the baseband Doppler centroid. Considering the fact that the difference of the estimated baseband Doppler centroid in two channels is equal to the difference of the absolute Doppler centroid, the unambiguous radial velocity can be estimated using it. Third, the range walk and the Doppler shift which are produced by the fast radial velocity can be eliminated by compensating a phase in the range-frequency and azimuth-time domain. As a result, the moving target will be reimaged and relocated after azimuth compression. The proposed approach will be applied to both single — and multi-channel SAR system. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

To conserve and manage wetland resources, it is important to map wetlands and monitor their changes. However, wetland mapping is difficult because of spectral confusion with other landcover classes and spectral variability among different types of wetlands. This paper demonstrated a multi-source based approach for improving the accuracy of wetland mapping. According to the formation of wetland, variables derived from multi-source image date, and other ancillary GIS layers were first integrated to create the possible region for wetland (PRW). And then classification was conducted within the PRW to map wetlands. PRW could greatly reduce the amount of other land cover classes that participated in the classification, therefore reducing both the difficulty of wetland mapping and the commission error rate. In this study, we chose the test area in Dongzhai Harbor, Hainan Island, China, where the main wetland type is mangrove. The mapping was based on LANDSAT TM/ETM+ imagery combined with DEM data, and the ancillary GIS data included available water, soil and vegetation layers. The thematic accuracy of the mapping was assessed using high-resolution images from Google Earth and local wetlands databases. Classification of the 2001 Landsat ETM+ scene alone resulted in consumer's accuracy of 65% and Kappa coefficients of 0.69, whereas the multi-source based approach with the same training samples resulted in an accuracy of 86% and 0.80. The developed method is portable, relatively easy to implement, and should be applicable in other landcover classes and over larger extents.

A simple topographic correction method based on smoothed terrain is proposed in this paper. The main idea of the new method is smoothing the slope angle of terrain in the first place and then performing the cosine correction based on the smoothed terrain. The smoothing effect on the terrain is significant in forested mountainous areas and a model is proposed to explain the effect physically. A comparison is conducted among the new method and several other common methods like C, SCS, Minnaert corrections using Landsat-7 ETM+ data in Shanxi Province in China. Visual analysis and statistical analysis are adopted to assess the performance of these methods from two aspects: overcorrection, homogeneity within a land cover class. Comparison results indicate that the smoothing step can significantly reduce the overcorrection and the performance of the new method is on the same level with C correction. The new method does not require any training data from image to obtain parameters and proves to be an effective and simple method in forested areas.

Multi-object tracking is important in many computer vision applications. The major difficulties are due to inter-object or scene occlusion and data association. In this paper, we present a method to automatically detect and track multiple objects in complicated scenario from a single camera that is stationary. The proposed detecting method can prevent the moving objects updated to the background and can restrain ghosts. The moving objects are modeled fusing the hue and edge features. The system achieves tracking the object using the proposed associated strategy based on multilevel track queues. Experiments show the effectiveness of our approach under different conditions with complete occlusions.
