Circle feature extraction from Earth observation satellitedata with a polar coordinates representation of Wavelets

The conventional two dimensional wavelet transformation is not effective to extract arc and circle features form the imagery data. In order to enhance the capability in an effective manner, a polar coordinates of representation of wavelet transformations is proposed. The proposed paper describes the proposed method of the aforementioned polar coordinates of representation of wavelet transformations followed by examples of the application of the method for circle feature extraction from Earth observation satellite data of OCTS onboard ADEOS satellite. The results are compared to the conventional two dimensional wavelet transfromations.
