In this paper, we propose a novel method for the joint classification of both multidate and multiresolution remote sensing imagery, which represents an important and relatively unexplored classification problem. The proposed classifier is based on an explicit hierarchical graph-based model that is sufficiently flexible to address a coregistered time series of images collected at different spatial resolutions. Within this framework, a novel element of the proposed approach is the use of multiple quadtrees in cascade, each associated with the images available at each observation date in the considered time series. For each date, the input images are inserted in a hierarchical structure on the basis of their resolutions, whereas missing levels are filled in with wavelet transforms of the images embedded in finer-resolution levels. This approach is aimed at both exploiting multiscale information, which is known to play a crucial role in high-resolution image analysis, and supporting input images acquired at different resolutions in the input time series. The experimental results are shown for multitemporal and multiresolution optical data. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In this paper we develop a supervised classification approach for medium and high resolution multichannel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude images. The proposed technique combines finite mixture modeling for probability density function estimation, copulas for multivariate distribution modeling and a Markov random field (MRF) approach to Bayesian classification. The novelty of this research is in introduction of copulas to classification of D-channel SAR, with D<=3, within the mainframe of finite mixtures-MRF approach. This generalization results in a flexible and well performing multichannel SAR classification technique. Its accuracy is validated on several multichannel Quad-pol RADARSAT-2 images and compared to benchmark classification techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we develop a novel classification approach for multiresolution, multisensor [optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR)], and/or multiband images. This challenging image processing problem is of great importance for various remote sensing monitoring applications and has been scarcely addressed so far. To deal with this classification problem, we propose a two-step explicit statistical model. We first design a model for the multivariate joint class-conditional statistics of the coregistered input images at each resolution by resorting to multivariate copulas. Such copulas combine the class-conditional marginal probability density functions (pdfs) of each input channel that are estimated by finite mixtures of well-chosen parametric families. We consider different distribution families for the most common types of remote sensing imagery acquired by optical and SAR sensors. We then plug the estimated joint pdfs into a hierarchical Markovian model based on a quad-tree structure, where each tree-scale corresponds to the different input image resolutions and to corresponding multiscale decimated wavelet transforms, thus preventing a strong resampling of the initial images. To obtain the classification map, we resort to an exact estimator of the marginal posterior mode. We integrate a prior update in this model in order to improve the robustness of the developed classifier against noise and speckle. The resulting classification performance is illustrated on several remote sensing multiresolution data sets, including very high resolution and multisensor images acquired by COSMO-SkyMed and GeoEye-1.

This monograph gives an introduction to the fundamentals of Markovian modeling in image segmentation as well as a brief overview of recent advances in the field. Segmentation is considered in a common framework, called image labeling, where the problem is reduced to assigning labels to pixels. In a probabilistic approach, label dependencies are modeled by Markov random fields (MRF) and an optimal labeling is determined by Bayesian estimation, in particular maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation. The main advantage of MRF models is that prior information can be imposed locally through clique potentials. The primary goal is to demonstrate the basic steps to construct an easily applicable MRF segmentation model and further develop its multiscale and hierarchical implementations as well as their combination in a multilayer model. MRF models usually yield a non-convex energy function. The minimization of this function is crucial in order to find the most likely segmentation according to the MRF model. Besides classical optimization algorithms, like simulated annealing or deterministic relaxation, we also present recently introduced graph cutbased algorithms. We briefly discuss the possible parallelization techniques of simulated annealing, which allows efficient implementation on, e.g., GPU hardware without compromising convergence properties of the algorithms. While the main focus of this monograph is on generic model construction and related energy minimization methods, many sample applications are also presented to demonstrate the applicability of these models in real life problems such as remote sensing, biomedical imaging, change detection, and color- and motion-based segmentation. In real-life applications, parameter estimation is an important issue when implementing completely data-driven algorithms. Therefore some basic procedures, such as expectation-maximization, are also presented in the context of color image segmentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose a new Bayesian method for detecting the regions of object displacements in aerial image pairs. We use a robust but coarse 2-D image registration algorithm. Our main challenge is to eliminate the registration errors from the extracted change map. We introduce a three-layer Markov random field (L3MRF) model which integrates information from two different features, and ensures connected homogenous regions in the segmented images. Validation is given on real aerial photos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Most remote sensing images exhibit a clear hierarchical structure which can be taken into account by defining a suitable model for the unknown segmentation map. To this end, one can resort to the tree-structured Markov random field (MRF) model, which describes a K-ary field by means of a sequence of binary MRFs, each one corresponding to a node in the tree. Here we propose to use the tree-structured MRF model for supervised segmentation. The prior knowledge on the number of classes and their statistical features allows us to generalize the model so that the binary MRFs associated with the nodes can be adapted freely, together with their local parameters, to better fit the data. In addition, it allows us to define a suitable likelihood term to be coupled with the TS-MRF prior so as to obtain a precise global model of the image. Given the complete model, a recursive supervised segmentation algorithm is easily defined. Experiments on a test SPOT image prove the superior performance of the proposed algorithm with respect to other comparable MRF-based or variational algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a hierarchical probabilistic graphical model is proposed to tackle joint classification of multiresolution and multisensor remote sensing images of the same scene. This problem is crucial in the study of satellite imagery and jointly involves multiresolution and multisensor image fusion. The proposed framework consists of a hierarchical Markov model with a quadtree structure to model information contained in different spatial scales, a planar Markov model to account for contextual spatial information at each resolution, and decision tree ensembles for pixelwise modeling. This probabilistic graphical model and its topology are especially fit for application to very high resolution (VHR) image data. The theoretical properties of the proposed model are analyzed: the causality of the whole framework is mathematically proved, granting the use of time-efficient inference algorithms such as the marginal posterior mode criterion, which is non-iterative when applied to quadtree structures. This is mostly advantageous for classification methods linked to multiresolution tasks formulated on hierarchical Markov models. Within the proposed framework, two multimodal classification algorithms are developed, that incorporate Markov mesh and spatial Markov chain concepts. The results obtained in the experimental validation conducted with two datasets containing VHR multispectral, panchromatic, and radar satellite images, verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The proposed approach is also compared to previous methods that are based on alternate strategies for multimodal fusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MARKOV random fields , *CARTOGRAPHY - Abstract
Herein, we propose a new method to locally register cartographic road networks on SPOT satellite images. This approach is based on Markov random fields (MRF) on graphs. Since the cartographic and image data are obtained from different sources, the noises degrading these data are of different nature. Cartographers also introduce, in the generalization process, distortions in the road map in order to emphasize some details of the road. This can create important differences between the map data and the ground truth. The proposed algorithm aims at correcting the error due to noise and generalization, hence increasing the accuracy of the road map. The first step of the method is to translate the road network into a graph where the nodes are characteristic points of the roads (e.g., crossroads). The random variable or descriptors are defined by the nodes position. The edges are defined by the roads joining these points. Then, local registration is performed by defining a model in a Bayesian framework. The solution is obtained by computing the maximum a posteriori (MAP). The posterior probability is assumed to be a product of two probabilities, the prior of the network and the likelihood of the map, each depending on the image data. Both are Markov Random Field probabilities. The likelihood of the registered map is the probability of a network configuration given the map data. It is a measure of a global resemblance between the two. We use geometrical measures, euclidean distances and angles, to build this probability. The prior consists of two terms, both depending on the image data. The dependance exists through the fact that between two connected nodes, we compute a best path, thanks to a dynamic programing algorithm, minimizing a cost function based on image gray levels, curvature and gradient information. The first term of the prior penalizes configurations for which different roads overlap each other, and the second term depends on gray level statistics along these paths. We run a simulated annealing algorithm to optimize the proposed model. The tests are done on one real image data extracted from SPOT satellite images, and artificially noisy cartographic data (translated, rotated or randomly deformed network). We present some results showing a good global registration, but also accurate correction of local distortions [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

COMPARATIVE studies , *REMOTE sensing , *MARKOV processes , *THEMATIC analysis , *IMAGE analysis , *MARKOV random fields - Abstract
In this paper, we give a comparative study on three Multilayer Markov Random Field (MRF) based solutions proposed for change detection in optical remote sensing images, called Multicue MRF , Conditional Mixed Markov model, and Fusion MRF . Our purposes are twofold. On one hand , we highlight the significance of the focused model family and we set them against various state-of-the-art approaches through a thematic analysis and quantitative tests. We discuss the advantages and drawbacks of class comparison vs. direct approaches, usage of training data, various targeted application fields and different ways of Ground Truth generation, meantime informing the Reader in which roles the Multilayer MRFs can be efficiently applied. On the other hand we also emphasize the differences between the three focused models at various levels, considering the model structures, feature extraction, layer interpretation, change concept definition, parameter tuning and performance. We provide qualitative and quantitative comparison results using principally a publicly available change detection database which contains aerial image pairs and Ground Truth change masks. We conclude that the discussed models are competitive against alternative state-of-the-art solutions, if one uses them as pre-processing filters in multitemporal optical image analysis. In addition, they cover together a large range of applications, considering the different usage options of the three approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
