An approach for vehicle detection system from satellite images, which are used in many applications. Vehicle detection is done by pixelwise classification method instead sliding window and region based methods, which are used in existing system. The vital part of the paper is feature extraction and vehicle colour classification. Feature extraction includes edge and corner detection. For edge detection, the Canny edge detector technique is applied. For, corner detection, the Harris corner detector process is applied. Adaboost is employed for vehicle colour extraction to separate vehicle and non-vehicle colours. Utterly, morphological operations are applied to enhance the vehicle detection.
