Abstract

In this paper, we propose a coarse-to-fine framework design and implementation for oil tank detection in optical satellite imagery. The framework is mainly composed of two operations: 1) from the whole scene imagery, extraction of patches with oil tanks based on the probabilistic latent semantic analysis model; 2) in the relatively small size patches, detection of the oil tanks with Hough transform and template matching. Experiments show that the framework provides a promising solution for oil tank detection in optical satellite imagery.
