This paper describes the vessel distinction algorithm by using radiance silhoutte algorithm for IKONOS data. Although original TKONOS image has high spatial resolution about 1 m, it is difficult to identify whole feature of the vessel. The newly developed algorithm named "Radiance Silhoutte Analysis Algorithm" can estimate entire length, full width and bridge location of the vessel in high accuracy. By using targeted vessels, it is evaluated the algorithm has sufficient accuracy for vessel distinction. The research also covers synthetic collation decision by using vessel type axtraction algorithm.
