Abstract: Land classification based on analysis of image data. Feature extraction techniques may be used to generate a feature stack corresponding to the image data to be classified. A user may identify training data from the image data from which a classification model may be generated using one or more machine learning techniques applied to one or more features of the image. In this regard, the classification module may in turn be used to classify pixels from the image data other than the training data. Additionally, quantifiable metrics regarding the accuracy and/or precision of the models may be provided for model evaluation and/or comparison. Additionally, the generation of models may be performed in a distributed system such that model creation and/or application may be distributed in a multi-user environment for collaborative and/or iterative approaches.

Abstract: Feature extraction of image data using feature extraction modules. The feature extraction modules may be provided in an architecture that allows for modular, decoupled generation and/or operation of the feature extraction modules to generate feature data corresponding to image data. In this regard, the feature extraction modules may communicate with a file system storing image data and feature data by way of a common interface format. Accordingly, regardless of the nature of the execution of the feature extraction module, each feature extraction module may be communicative by way of the common interface format, thereby providing a modular approach that is highly scalable, flexible, and adaptive.

Abstract: Techniques for object detection include training a first classifier to detect an object based on textural features and a second classifier to detect the object based on textural features and spectral features. A classifier relationship between the two classifiers is learned and used with the first classifier to detect other objects. If desired, the performance of the object detector can be improved by comparing the results of detecting objects with the first classifier and the classifier relationship versus detecting objects with the first and second classifier together, and modifying the classifier relationship based upon the comparison.

Abstract: A method for determining region boundaries in an image comprises the steps of providing an image having a plurality of discrete points, determining for each discrete point in the image an affinity force vector representing the affinity of the point to every other point in the image, and detecting region boundaries in the image using the affinity force vectors. An apparatus for determining region boundaries in an image comprises means for providing an image having a plurality of discrete points, means for determining for each discrete point in the image an affinity force vector representing the affinity of the point to every other point in the image, and means for detecting region boundaries in the image using the affinity force vectors. Automatic spatial parameter selection for input in the affinity force vector determination and regional axis detection methods are also provided.
