Airport target detection algorithm in remote sensing images based on JPEG2000 compressed domain

This paper mainly discusses airport target detection in remote sensing images. A new algorithm based on JPEG2000 compressed domain is proposed. Since the amount of remote sensing image data is generally large, images usually are compressed by JPEG2000. Therefore, this paper proposes an airport detection method for remote sensing image based JPEG2000 compressed domain. In the case of JPEG2000 compressed data with less decompression, we detect the airport target directly in the compressed domain. In the compressed domain, first extract the edge by canny edge operator, then detect parallel lines of airport runway and finally determine the target and fix the location of airport. By experiments, the algorithm proposed this paper can detect the airport target in JPEG2000 compressed domain.
