River Detection in Remotely Sensed Imagery Using Gabor Filtering and Path Opening

Detecting rivers from remotely sensed imagery is an initial yet important step in space-based river studies. This paper proposes an automatic approach to enhance and detect complete river networks. The main contribution of this work is the characterization of rivers according to their Gaussian-like...
