Utilizing Road Network Data for Automatic Identification of Road Intersections from High Resolution Color Orthoimagery

چکیده
Recent growth of the geo-spatial information on the web has made it possible to easily access various and high quality geo-spatial datasets, such as road networks and high resolution imagery. Although there exist efficient methods to locate road intersections from road networks for route planning, there are few research activities on detecting road intersections from orthoimagery. Detected road intersections on imagery can be utilized for conflation, cityplanning and other GIS-related applications. In this paper, we describe an approach to automatically and accurately identifying road intersections from high resolution color orthoimagery. We exploit image metadata as well as the color of imagery to classify the image pixels as on-road/off-road. Using these chromatically classified image pixels as input, we locate intersections on the images by utilizing the knowledge inferred from the road network. Experimental results show that the proposed method can automatically identify the road intersections with 76.3% precision and 61.5% recall in the imagery for a partial area of St. Louis, MO.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

متن کاملMulti-Resolution, Semantic Objects, and Context for Road Extraction
This paper presents a multi-resolution approach for automatic extraction of roads from digital aerial imagery. Roads are modeled as a network of intersections and links between the intersections. For different context regions, i.e., rural, forest, and urban areas, the model describes relations between background objects, e.g., buildings or trees, and road objects, e.g., road-parts, road-segment...

This paper presents an approach for the automatic extraction of roads from digital aerial imagery. The approach makes use of several versions of the aerial image having different resolutions. Roads are modeled as a network of intersections and links between these intersections. For d ifferent so-called „global contexts" , i .e. , rural, forest, and urban area, the model describes relations betw...
