Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | Academy of Science of South Africa | Series/Report no.: | South African Journal of Science;Vol. 112, No. 11/12 | Abstract: | Organic studies inspire cues for modelling logic in image processing and become a basis for the development of novel remote-sensing algorithms. Examples of applications of such paradigms include the growing application of techniques such as object-oriented analysis and neural networks in image analysis for which the logic was drawn from studying various components of organic systems in the human body. Here we document a key investigation based on a set of cognitive tests conducted using aerial imagery captured over Cape Town (South Africa). These tests were conducted to later draw parallels with a feature extraction algorithm for shack settlements. We found that the visual variables of ‘pattern’ and ‘shape’ display the most significant cognitive guide for shack boundary extraction. Although the focus here was on digital imagery, learning points can be selected for application in other scientific fields as well. | URI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/ sajs.2016/20160065 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/3521 |
