Quality enhancement of satellite images and its application for identification of surroundings of waste disposal sites

摘要

The paper proposes a method for fuzzy interactive enhancement of objects identification in the image which allows identifying hidden or no defined details and objects in the images. The application of the method and its difference from other image enhancement techniques are shown. The paper presents the algorithm and describes the basic processing procedures (sampling, scaling, convolution, contrast). The main processing parameters (increasing and reduction of dimensions, convolutions, brightness, and thresholds contrast) are demonstrated. The results from the applied algorithm are explained on an example related to landfill Kutchino in the Moscow region, on the satellite images with low and high spatial resolution.
