An FPGA implemented bridge over water recognition for an image evaluation on-board of satellites
Proceedings of SPIE(2013)
摘要
This paper presents an advanced method for the automatic recognition of bridges over water in high resolution satellite image data, intended for an application on-board of satellites. The algorithm is implemented in reconfigurable hardware, a so-called Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Within a few seconds a thematic map is derived from the original satellite image. The map contains information about the water areas, islands and bridge deck areas in the captured scene. No a-priory knowledge is needed. Due to the autonomous image processing and the low power consumption of the FPGA, this implementation seems suitable for an application on-board of satellites. Especially in case of a natural disaster it could provide quick information about accessible transportation routes. The algorithm as well as experimental results on panchromatic and near-infrared satellite imagery are presented in this article. The obtained results are promising.
