Abstract: Satellite images are used for various applications like geographical, weather and geological applications. The forecasters used the low-resolution satellite images to predict the atmospheric changes. The high resolution satellite images are used in more applications especially for object segmentation and detection. The research on the high resolution satellite image is a challenging task. Less research is performed on high resolution satellite imagery as it is a challenging task. Traffic monitoring is a challenging task in developing countries. Automatic vehicle detection is very much useful for the traffic monitoring system. Vehicle images appear in miniature size in high resolution satellite images which is very difficult to extract from the images. Many researchers are working in these areas for the past few decades and most of the research is based on various types of sensor data. In sensor images, complete road network cannot be captured. In this paper, automatic detection of vehicles from high resolution satellite is proposed. Connected component based algorithm for automatic vehicle detection in high resolution satellite images is proposed in this paper.
