In recent years, airborne and spaceborne hyperspectral imaging systems have advanced in terms of spectral and spatial resolution, which makes the data sets they produce a valuable source for land cover classification. The availability of hyperspectral data with fine spatial resolution has revolutionized hyperspectral image (HSI) classification...

The analysis of airborne and satellite images is one of the core subjects in remote sensing. In recent years, technological developments have facilitated the availability of large-scale sources of data, which cover significant extents of the earth's surface, often at impressive spatial resolutions. In addition to the evident computational...

A partition tree is a hierarchical representation of an image. Once constructed, it can be repeatedly processed to extract information. Multi-object multi-class image segmentation with shape priors is one of the tasks that can be efficiently done upon an available tree. The traditional construction approach is a greedy clustering based on color...

We propose a new binary partition tree (BPT)-based framework for multi-class segmentation of remote sensing images. In the literature, BPTs are typically computed in a bottom-up manner based on spectral similarities, then analyzed to extract image objects. When image objects exhibit a considerable internal spectral variability, it often happens...

The recent advances in hyperspectral remote sensing technology allow the simultaneous acquisition of hundreds of spectral wavelengths for each image pixel. This rich spectral information of the hyperspectral data makes it possible to discriminate different physical substances, leading to a potentially more accurate classification and thus...

One of the most popular and challenging tasks in remote sensing applications is the generation of digitized representations of Earth's objects from satellite raster image data. A common approach to tackle this challenge is a two-step method that first involves performing a pixel-wise classification of the raster data, then vectorizing the...

While initially devised for image categorization, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are being increasingly used for the pixelwise semantic labeling of images. However, the proper nature of the most common CNN architectures makes them good at recognizing but poor at localizing objects precisely. This problem is magnified in the context of...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have received increasing attention over the last few years. They were initially conceived for image categorization, i.e., the problem of assigning a semantic label to an entire input image.In this paper we address the problem of dense semantic labeling, which consists in assigning a semantic label to every...

New challenges in remote sensing impose the necessity of designing pixel classification methods that, once trained on a certain dataset, generalize to other areas of the earth. This may include regions where the appearance of the same type of objects is significantly different. In the literature it is common to use a single image and split it...

We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for remote sensing image classification. Using CNNs provides us with a means of learning contextual features for large-scale image labeling. Our network consists of four stacked convolutional layers that downsample the image and extract relevant features. On top of these, a deconvolutional...

We address the pixelwise classification of high-resolution aerial imagery. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are gaining increasing attention in image analysis, it is still challenging to adapt them to produce fine-grained classification maps. This is due to a well-known trade-off between recognition and localization: the impressive...

The ultimate goal of land mapping from remote sensing image classification is to produce polygonal representations of Earth's objects, to be included in geographic information systems. This is most commonly performed by running a pix-elwise image classifier and then polygonizing the connected components in the classification map. We here...
