Research Interests

My PhD work involves with unsupervised extraction of linear objects from satellite and aerial images. The final application would be either the production or the update of geographic data. The sought-after cartographic item consists of the different line networks such as hydrographic networks or road networks. The approach is to build a Markov object process in order to model the line network present in the image. Indeed, these recently developed models provide the same type of stochastic properties as those of Markov fields, while incorporating strong geometric constraints. Optimization is realized by simulated annealing using a Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) algorithm. The first results have been validated by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) which partially supports my PhD.
