Abstract:A novel method for detecting manmade objects in aerial images is described. The method is based on a simplified MumfordShah model. It applies fractal error metric and additional constrainttexture edge descriptor on the image to get a preferable segmentation. Manmade objects and natural areas are optimally differentiated by evolving the partial differential equation for MumfordShah model. The method avoids selecting a threshold, which, if improperly selected, often results in great segmentation errors to separate the fractal error image. Experiments of the segmentation show that the proposed method is efficient.
