ABSTRACT

An unsupervised neural network approach for automatically extracting objects of interest from very high resolution (VHR) SAR images is proposed. The methodology relies on the use of Pulse-Coupled Neural Networks (PCNN), an interesting novel technique based on models of the visual cortex of small mammals. Different applications are considered. In a first case the extraction procedure is focused on the detection of buildings. In a second case the extraction of the perimeter of a dark spot representing an oil spill in a SAR image is considered. The performance given by the PCNN is evaluated and critically discussed for a set of new generation of X-band SAR images taken by COSMO-Skymed and TerraSAR-X systems.
