    A Novel Method To Detect Shadows on Multispectral Images
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2016) Sevim, Hazan Daglayan; Cetin, Yasemin Yardimci; Baskurt, Didem Ozisik
    Shadowing occurs when the direct light coming from a light source is obstructed by high human made structures, mountains or clouds. Since shadow regions are illuminated only by scattered light, true spectral properties of the objects are not observed in such regions. Therefore, many object classification and change detection problems utilize shadow detection as a preprocessing step. Besides, shadows are useful for obtaining 3D information of the objects such as estimating the height of buildings. With pervasiveness of remote sensing images, shadow detection is ever more important. This study aims to develop a shadow detection method on multispectral images based on the transformation of C-1 C-2 C-3 space and contribution of NIR bands. The proposed method is tested on Worldview-2 images covering Ankara, Turkey at different times. The new index is used on these 8-band multispectral images with two NIR bands. The method is compared with methods in the literature.

    Ss-Mla: a Semisupervised Method for Multi-Label Annotation of Remotely Sensed Images
    (SPIE, 2021) Üstünkök,T.; Karakaya,M.
    Recent technological advancements in satellite imagery have increased the production of remotely sensed images. Therefore, developing efficient methods for annotating these images has gained popularity. Most of the current state-of-the-art methods are based on supervised machine learning techniques. We propose a method called semisupervised multi-label annotizer (SS-MLA) that adapts vector-quantized temporal associative memory to annotate remotely sensed images. One of the advantages of SS-MLA over the supervised methods is that it extracts features not only from the given sample but also from similar samples that are previously seen without using an explicit attention mechanism. Thus SS-MLA enhances the learning efficiency of the training process. We conduct extensive performance comparisons with five different methods in the literature over four datasets. The comparison results indicate the success of the proposed method over the existing ones: SS-MLA generates the best results in 7 out of 11 comparisons. © 2021 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
