The procedure consists of several steps, including extraction of regions of interest, segmentation, and the classification of vehicles in the framework of the interactive SAFIR (System Architecture and Functionality for Image based Reconnaissance) system. By this multistep approach the large amount of information in images can be reduced very much, so that reasonable support for the human observer can be achieved. Main point of contribution is the description of the most important processing stages and the discussion of some results.enaerial imageclassificationdetectionDetektionFahrzeugIRKlassifikationLuftbildman made structureregions of interestROIvehicleVIS004conference paper
