Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method of identifying at least one type of surface in a digital image, comprising the steps of: (a) dividing ( 4 ) the image ( 2 ) in sub-images of the same size; (b) analysing ( 6 ) the sub-images for identifying at least one type of surface; (c) sub-dividing ( 10 ) into sub-images each of the sub-images ( 8 ) of the preceding step where at least one type of surface is not identified; (d) analysing ( 6 ) the sub-images of step (c) for identifying at least one type of surface; and (e) iterating steps (c) and (d). This is a hierarchical split based approach (HSBA) that can be used for detecting water zones in a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image.
