چکیده

The performance of automatic building detection techniques can be significantly impeded due to the presence of same-height objects, for example, trees. Consequently, if a building detection technique cannot distinguish between trees and buildings, both its false positive and false negative rates rise significantly. This paper presents an improved automatic building detection technique that achieves more effective separation of buildings from trees. In addition to using traditional cues such as height, width and colour, the proposed improved detector uses texture information from both LIDAR and orthoimagery. Firstly, image entropy and colour information are jointly applied to remove easily distinguishable trees. Secondly, a voting procedure based on the neighbourhood information from both the image and LIDAR data is employed for further exclusion of trees. Finally, a rule-based procedure using the edge orientation histogram from the image is followed to eliminate false positive candidates. The improved detector has been tested on a number of scenes from three different test areas and it is shown that the algorithm performs well in complex scenes.

Automated Building Detection Via Effective Separation of Trees and Buildings

Automated building detection has been an active topic in photogrammetry and computer vision. One of the challenges is to effectively separate buildings from trees using aerial imagery and Lidar data. In cases where an adopted building detection technique cannot distinguish between these two classes of objects, the presence of trees in the scene can increase the rates of both false positives and...

Effective Seperation of Trees and Buildings for Automated Building Detection

Effective separation of buildings from trees is a major challenge in automatic building detection from aerial imagery and Lidar data. In cases where an adopted building detection technique cannot distinguish between these two classes of objects, the presence of trees in the scene can increase the rates of both false positives and false negatives in the building detection process. This paper pre...

The Automatic Detection and Recognition of Objective Parts in Real-World Building Image

Now, we are constructing a City-streets Building Database System. Particularly, we want to use this system to recognize real-world building images and provide the necessery information about the building objects. Because in building image there are many objects, and only the parts of building objects are necessary for recognition, we have developed a method by which all the parts of building ob...

Integrated-approach-based Automatic Building Extraction

This paper presents an approach to automatic building extraction from large-scale aerial images. It is based on the integration of multiple information, knowledge and appropriate methods, and hierarchically consists of three major parts: building detection, building segment extraction, 3D feature matching and building modelling. Buildings are detected by segmenting DSMs using grey-scale mathema...
