Section: Application Domains

Remote sensing

The first application domain of the AYIN team concerns analysis and classification of remote sensing images. The very high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution of the last generation of imaging sensors (for instance, GeoEye, Ikonos, Pleiades, COSMO-SkyMed, TerraSAR-X, ...) provides rich information about environment and is very useful in a range of applications, such as investigating urban environments, precision agriculture, natural disasters and mineralogy. The development of these applications presents new challenges of high-dimensional and high-volume data analysis. The methods proposed by the AYIN team are applied for analysis of SAR, multi- and hyperspectral remote sensing images. In particular, the team develops approaches for image segmentation and classification, change detection, extraction of structures and object tracking.
