Proposed Algorithm for Shadow Identification and Classification in VHR Satellite Imagery
Abstract: The Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery offers great possibilities for urban environments. Unfortunately, shadows cast by buildings in high-density urban environments obscure much of the information in the image, leading to potentially corrupted classification results or blunders in interpretation. The objective of this paper is to propose an algorithm for better identification and classification of shadows in VHR images. Two prime stages were carried out i.e. shadow identification and …
