  • Abstract
    River detection from SAR images plays an important role in civilian applications. A new method for river detection is proposed in this paper, which includes fuzzy clustering, wavelet transform and using snake model. River area can be extracted by clustering and morphological processing. Then the edge of river is extracted with the wavelet modulus maximum method (WTMM), and is smoothed by the snake model. A Radarsat-1 image is used for the experiment. The experimental result shows that the method proposed in this paper is efficient for river detection and edge location.
