Automated feature extraction and classification from image sources
Fact Sheet
144-95
By: Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
The U.S. Department of the Interior,
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and
Unisys Corporation have completed a
cooperative research and development
agreement (CRADA) to explore automated
feature extraction and classification
from image sources. The CRADA
helped the USGS define the spectral and
spatial resolution characteristics of
airborne and satellite imaging sensors
necessary to meet base cartographic and
land use and land cover feature classification
requirements and help develop
future automated geographic and cartographic
data production capabilities. The
USGS is seeking a new commercial
partner to continue automated feature
extraction and classification research and
development.
