object-based image analysis  

Definition

  • Object-based image analysis (OBIA) is a new approach to the analysis of remote-sensing (RS) images in which the basic units, instead of being individual pixels, are image-objects. An image-object is a relatively uniform region of a digital image somewhat different from its surroundings. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Object-Based Image Analysis]
