AUTOMATION TECHNIQUES DETECTION AND SELECTION OF DISPOSAL SITES
The paper shows a method of automating the detection of unknown disposal sites space images of medium and high spatial resolution. The features of the method, a General block diagram of the algorithm of the method of automation, including geo-referenced satellite images, extracting metadata, creation and maintenance of databases of images and their plots, metadata, indexes underlying surface, detected objects, a comparative unit of processing results with the standard and obtaining maps of unknown objects. Presents input and output data of the method. The algorithms are demonstrated on the example of two areas: the middle East suburbs, including fragments of the urban district Railway, Lyubertsy and technology areas (with the use of medium resolution imagery); the solid waste landfill Kuchino included in this area (using high-resolution images).
