The invention belongs to the technical field of
remote sensing, and in particular relates to an extraction method of
water body thematic information of
remote sensing images based on sequential
nonlinear filtering. The method comprises the following four steps: preprocessing
remote sensing images and completing sequential
nonlinear filtering; calibrating filtering result image areas and calculating the feature values of each calibrated area; establishing the selection criteria of
water body target areas; and carrying out automatic extraction of
water body areas and post-
processing of water body thematic extraction information based on morphology so as to generate thematic information vector data meeting the requirements of common GIS
software finally. The extraction method, starting with the basic operation of grey-scale
mathematical morphology, establishes a sequential
nonlinear filtering model to directly carry out nonlinear filtering and extract water body areas in remote sensing images; according to relevant knowledge of water body, feature values of different water body areas extracted through sequential nonlinear filtering are calculated; according to water body imaging characteristics and relevant knowledge of water body areas, the selection criteria of the water body target areas are established to realize automatic and quick extraction of water body thematic information on remote sensing images. The extraction method is less influenced by
noise and error and has strong robustness; moreover, the method realizes
fully automatic processing of extraction water body without manual intervention, can process
extensive data, and has less time consumption.
