Automatic feature extraction and matching modelling for highly noise near-equatorial satellite images

Abstract

Feature extraction plays an important role in pattern recognition because band-to-band registration and geometric correction from different satellite images have linear image distortion. However, new near-equatorial orbital satellite system (NEqO) images is different because they have nonlinear distortion. Conventional techniques cannot overcome this type of distortion and lead to the extraction of false features and incorrect image matching. This research presents a new method by improving the performance of the Scale-Invariant Feature Transformation (SIFT) with a significantly higher rate of true extracted features and their correct matching. The data in this study were obtained from the RazakSAT satellite covering a part of Penang state, Malaysia. The method consists of many stages: image band selection, image band compression, image sharpening, automatic feature extraction, and applying the sum of absolute difference algorithm with an experimental and empirical threshold. We evaluate a refined features scenario by comparing the result of the original extracted SIFT features with corresponding features of the proposed method. The result indicates accurate and precise performance of the proposed method from removing false SIFT extracted features of satellite images and remain only true SIFT extracted features, that leads to reduce the extracted feature from using three frame size: (1) from 2000 to 750, 552 and 92 for the green and red bands image, (2) from 678 extracted control points to be 193, 228 and 73 between the green and blue bands, and (3) from 1995 extracted CPs to be 656, 733, and 556 between the green and near-infrared bands, respectively.

Fusion Landsat-8 Thermal TIRS and OLI Datasets for Superior Monitoring and Change Detection using Remote Sensing

“…A pixel-based CD was known as one of the most popular CD methods [16]. It was widely employed on different satellite images and datasets using different spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions; random field, conditional random field, and other approaches [11,15,17]. The Object-Oriented Based algorithm, Object Correlation Coefficient, Object-Oriented Chi-Square, and other CD techniques are widely applied in the detection of the LU/LC patterns [18][19][20].…”

An Analytical Surveillance of Land Utilization and Expansion of Urban Areas Employing Remote Sensing Algorithms

“…Anthropogenic elements like population growth, economic development, and urbanization expansion serve as primary drivers of urban sprawl. However, natural factors such as topography and soil properties also contribute, exhibiting spatial heterogeneity [6][7]. The detrimental effects of urban sprawl on vegetation lands are well-documented [8].…”

Integrating Highly Spatial Satellite Image for 3D Buildings Modelling Using Geospatial Algorithms and Architecture Environment

“…DSM accuracy can vary depending on the surface roughness and target landcover objects. Many studies have explored DSM generation from VHR satellite images in different environments, including urban areas flat bare soil [24], mountainous areas [25] [26] [27], densely vegetated deciduous forest, glaciated regions, and herb and grass land cover [28] [29] [30] [31] [32]. However, few stu-dies have focused specifically on greenhouse-covered areas [24], where accurate 3D extraction is challenging due to the varying properties of the plastic materials used.…”
