  • Patent number: 10055828
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for retrieving atmospheric aerosol based on statistical segmentation. Firstly a multi-band remote sensing image including an apparent reflectance and an aerosol optical thickness look-up table corresponding to a retrieval band is obtained, then pixels are partitioned and screened according to apparent reflectance segments of a mid-infrared 2.1 micrometer band. After that the retained pixel sets are further partitioned and screened according to the apparent reflectance segments of the mid-infrared 1.6 micrometer band. Finally the obtained pixel sets are partitioned into two categories according to the pixel number, one category including pixels having more pixels, the other including those with less pixels. The category with more pixels is taken as the reference part for retrieval.

  • Patent number: 9734398
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying an object are disclosed. The method includes: performing linear feature detection on an image to be identified by using a linear feature detecting method to obtain detected linear features, wherein the linear feature detection method transforms detection of linear features in an image space to detection of extremal points in another space and assigns larger weights to continuous image points than to discrete image points during the transformation by using a continuous cluster factor; and identifying an object to be identified from the detected linear features by considering characteristics of the object to be identified. The method and apparatus for identifying an object of the invention, when used to detect and identify weak linear objects in high resolution remote sensing images, can effectively suppress the system noise and ambient noise, thereby successfully identifying the interested object and avoiding false alarms.
