  • Abstract
    High resolution satellite imagery has large ground coverage and extraction of main geographical features such as rivers is of vital importance for numerous applications. In this paper, we propose an automatic technique for extraction of rivers from panchromatic satellite images using an iterative multi resolution decomposition of textural features, combined with morphological operations. The method was used for extraction of Kabul river of Pakistan from high resolution SPOT 5 satellite image.
