Abstract
This work presents a novel approach to object localization in complex imagery. In particular, the spatial extents of objects characterized by distinct spatial signatures at multiple scales are estimated by using statistical models to control a simple region growing process. Texture motifs are used to model the spatial signatures at the smallest, or pixel, scale. Markov random fields are used to model the spatial signatures at the larger, or motif, scale. These models are used to iteratively expand a bounding box to approximate the spatial extent of an object. The approach is applied to localizing geo-spatial objects in high-resolution panchromatic aerial imagery.
