Turn your imagery into information by extracting visual features from satellite and aerial images. FeatureObjeX™ is a user friendly stand alone software package which combines interactive and intelligent editing tools with sophisticated image analysis and machine learning technology to maximize your production capabilities.

By using interactive markup tools, users teach FeatureObjeX to recognize color, texture, and shape characteristics that correspond to a feature area of interest. Background markup is added to further differentiate between objects for extraction and those that do not belong.

Feature ObjeX provides two techniques for extracting features of interest from your imagery. The first is a comprehensive model created by the user based on information gathered from the entire image, thus enabling a more global extraction. The second technique allows a user to extract features from a smaller subset of the image, taking into account local variations more so than global details.

Relatively simple features, such as bodies of water or cloud cover, can be extracted over large areas with just a few clicks. When extracting more visually ambiguous features such as asphalt-roofed buildings in urban areas, easy to follow manual editing tools and post processing algorithms, such as polygon squaring, allow users to achieve precision results in the least amount of time.

Cloud Extraction Using FeatureObjeX

Cloud polygons have been accurately and automatically extracted in minutes using FeatureObjeX. Extracted cloud polygons can then be used in further remote sensing workflows, such as those offered through Geomatica’s atmospheric correction module or automatic mosaicking and color balancing technology.

FeatureObjeX for Extracting Urban Features

Building polygons have been extracted from high resolution imagery. FeatureObjeX polygon squaring algorithm removes noise from the extracted polygons, ensuring they are GIS ready.

Ship Extraction using FeatureObjeX

Ships can easily be distinguished from all other features in the scene by providing simple target and background markup. By specifying size thresholds of extracted objects, analysts can refine results to delineate large cargo or military ships from smaller pleasure crafts.

Tree Extraction using FeatureObjeX

Whether you are trying to control green space in urban settings or manage forest inventories, FeatureObjeX can quickly and accurately identify and extract features of interest.
