    Detection of compound structures using hierarchical clustering of statistical and structural features
    (IEEE, 2011) Akçay, H. Gokhan; Aksoy, Selim
    We describe a new procedure that combines statistical and structural characteristics of simple primitive objects to discover compound structures in images. The statistical information that is modeled using spectral, shape, and position data of individual objects, and structural information that is modeled in terms of spatial alignments of neighboring object groups are encoded in a graph structure that contains the primitive objects at its vertices, and the edges connect the potentially related objects. Experiments using WorldView-2 data show that hierarchical clustering of these vertices can find high-level compound structures that cannot be obtained using traditional techniques. © 2011 IEEE.

    Detection of compound structures using multiple hierarchical segmentations
    (IEEE, 2012) Akçay, H. Gökhan; Aksoy, Selim
    In this paper, our aim is to discover compound structures comprised of regions obtained from hierarchical segmentations of multiple spectral bands. A region adjacency graph is constructed by representing regions as vertices and connecting these vertices that are spatially close by edges. Then, dissimilarities between neighboring vertices are computed using statistical and structural features, and are assigned as edge weights. Finally, the compound structures are detected by extracting the connected components of the graph whose edges with relatively large weights are removed. Experiments using WorldView-2 images show that grouping of these vertices according to different criteria can extract high-level compound structures that cannot be obtained using traditional techniques. © 2012 IEEE.
