ABSTRACT

This chapter covers advanced image analysis techniques that cover various topics, including how to control image segmentation within eCognition using the parameters available in the software, controlling image segmentation by processing images outside the eCognition environment using image enhancement techniques, such as edge detection and contrast enhancement, and also by importing ancillary information such as parcel data to segment and create objects. This chapter also looks at various image enhancement techniques, such as principal component analysis, and tassel cap transformation, that will help in developing rules bases for extracting features.
