| Abstract | As synthesis aperture radar (SAR) represents a powerful Earth observation tool for monitoring geophysical resource globally, SAR images could be used for land description and scene analysis. Actually, various applications specifically require the detection and the analysis of urban areas from original SAR images, which is a difficult task due to the speckle signal of the images and the complexity of these scenes. In this paper, an unsupervised approach to extract urban areas from SAR images has been suggested based on local statistical characteristics and texture information described by Gaussian Markov Random field (MRF) model. First, a probability map of the urban areas is computed based on local statistical characteristics, using an ffmax operator proposed by C. Gouinaud. Then the Gaussian MRF model is adopted to describe the texture of urban zones and the parameters of the model are estimated from the original image together with the probability map. Finally, the urban areas are extracted under Bayesian framework by maximum a posterior (MAP) criterion, with modeling the urban label field by Potts model. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by experimental results on real SAR images |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
