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.

Claim (Index 32):
Method according to  claim 19 , further comprising:\n (f) providing an identification of the at least one type of surface for the entire image based on the identifications of at least one type of surface at step (b) for each of the sub-images.
