Abstract

In this paper we present methods for scene understanding, localization and classification of complex, visually heterogeneous objects from overhead imagery. Key features of this work include: determining boundaries of objects within large field-of-view images, classification of increasingly complex object classes through hierarchical descriptions, and exploiting automatically extracted hypotheses about the surrounding region to improve classification of a more localized region. Our system uses a principled probabilistic approach to classify increasingly larger and more complex regions, and then iteratively uses this automatically determined contextual information to reduce false alarms and misclassifications.
