Background
• Automatic labeling (classification) of geospatial image data
labeling
Problems of Existing Solutions
• Not SMART enough!– Too many parameters to tune– Not accurate enough for complex
scenes– Not robust for different scenes
• Difficult for even experienced image analyst to use!
Our Objectives
• A tool that can be easily used by non-expert users
• A tool that is accurate, robust, and fast for various applications
Our Solutions
• Smart Object based Image Analysis (SmartOBIA)– Label constraint image segmentation– Multi-level object classification– Object model learning with weakly-labeled
and limited sample data
• Patented!
