Title
Modeling object classes in aerial images using hidden Markov models
Abstract
A canonical model is proposed for object classes in aerial images. This model is motivated by the observation that geographic regions of interest are characterized by collec- tions of texture motifs corresponding to geographic pro- cesses. Furthermore, the spatial arrangement of the motifs is an important discriminating characteristic. In our approach, the states of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) correspond to the geographic processes and the state transitions corre- spond to the spatial arrangement of the processes. A one- dimensional approach reduces the computational complex- ity. The model is shown to be effective in characterizing objects of interest in spatial datasets in terms of their under- lying texture motifs. The potential of the model for identi- fying the classes of unlabeled objects is demonstrated.
