Infrared satellite image segmentation

Satellite images are difficult to segment due to the complexity of phenomena captured within. Based on a rarely employed technique presented by Ahuja, we proposed a method for satellite infrared image segmentation. The previously introduced transform is extracting a pixel cohesion force field based on their similarities. We have found that the forces convergence points forms median lines of uniform regions. Combining the features provided by the transform with an adapted segmentation method, a successful region extraction is performed.
