Snakes-based approach for extraction of building roof contours from digital aerial images

چکیده
This paper presents a method for building roof contour extraction from digital images taken over complex urban scenes. The proposed method is based on a snakes-based energy function that represents building roof contours in digital images, which is optimized by using the dynamic programming (DP) algorithm. As most of the building roof contours are characterized by rectilinear sides intercepting at right angles, appropriate geometrics constraints are enforced into the original snakes energy function. The main advantage of using the DP algorithm for optimizing the proposed snakes-based energy function is its better radius of convergence, when compared to the one that is usually obtained in the original solution based on variational approaches. Experimental evaluation, including visual inspection and numeric analysis, was performed by using real data and the obtained results showed the potentiality of the proposed method for extracting building roof contours from digital images.

متن کاملFusing Airborne Laser Scanner Data and Aerial Imagery for the Automatic Extraction of Buildings in Densely Built-up Areas
Using airborne laser scanner data, buildings can be detected automatically, and their roof shapes can be reconstructed. The success rate of building detection and the level of detail of the resulting building models depend on the resolution of the laser scanner data, which is still lower than the resolution of aerial imagery. Building extraction from aerial images alone is difficult because of ...
