In this webinar we will showcase the powerful and easy to use software available from PCI Geomatics to perform object based feature extraction and change detection imagery over the City of Toronto, Canada. The webinar will cover the complete workflow required to extract information from stereo overlapping ultra-high-resolution imagery (6 cm).

We will perform segmentation, assign polygon attributes, build spectral indices, develop rule based classifications and perform merging and cleaning operations. Stereo overlapping imagery will be used to automatically extract a high resolution digital surface model that will be used in the analysis.

What You'll Learn:

• How to apply object based image analysis to urban environments
• Data pre-processing
• Digital Surface Model (DSM) extraction
• Terrain filtering to create normalized elevation layer (DSM to DTM)
• OImage segmentation at differing scales
• Attaching key statistics to segmentation to refine classifications
• Developing simple and more complex rules
• Merging, cleaning and exporting results

We will demonstrate how to easily extract features such as:

• Impervious surfaces
• Buildings
• Industrial features
• Green spaces
• Urban Forests
