Abstract: Aimingattheproblemthatthetraditionalimagesegmentationalgorithmscannotbeappliedtohighresolutionremotesensingimageswithmanyfeatures(spectral,textureandgeometricfeatures),aremotesensingimagesegmentationmethodbasedonmulti-featurewasproposed.Thealgorithmintegratedtheimprovedmeanshiftfilteringandautomaticmarkerwatershedtoachievethesegmentationperformance.Firstly,anautomaticmarkerwatershedmethodwasusedtosegmenttheremotesensingimageforextractinggeometricfeatureusingaffinemomentinvariantsofshapeoperator.Secondly,agraylevelco-occurrencematrixofthefirstprincipalcomponentwascalculatedastexturalfeature.Thirdly,multi-featurefilteringresultswereobtainedbyusingimprovedmeanshiftalgorithmincludingspectralfeature.Finally,thefilteringresultswereperformedusingtheautomaticmarkerwatershedsegmentationmethod.Inordertoshowtheeffectoftheproposedmethod,anunsupervisedevaluationandcomparisonoftheimagesegmentationfromtheproposedalgorithmandsinglewatershedsegmentationwereimplementedusingmulti-spectralinformationentropy.Theexperimentalsegmentationresultsshowthattheproposedalgorithmcanreducetheover-segmentationphenomenonefficientlyanditissuitedforthesegmentationofhigh-resolutionmulti-spectralremotesensingimage.
