In order to effectively distinguish the natural objects inside the town from outside objects
and completely identify the urban regions in remote sensing image
a fuzzy geographic object-based MRF method is proposed.Firstly
the seed points of the town
i.e.
the top and shadow points of artificial ground objects
are firstly obtained by analyzing spectral information and spatial gradient.Then the over-segmented regions of the origin image are obtained by Mean Shift algorithm.Finally
a MRF is established over regions.and the membership matrix in the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is replaced by the conditional probability matrix in the MRF in an iterative manner.Meanwhile the categories of the regions containing the seed points are kept unchanged.For QuickBird and Ikonos remote sensing images
the proposed model can simultaneously deal with both the stochastic and fuzzy nature of images
