Extraction of Road Junction Islands from High Resolution Aerial Imagery Using Level Sets

چکیده

Road junctions are important components of a road network. However, they are usually not explicitly modelled in existing road extraction approaches. In this paper, we consider road junctions as area objects with possible existence of islands in their central area and propose a level set approach for the automatic extraction of islands. A region-based method is employed to initialize the level set function. The junction outline is provided to focus the attention on a specific area and some constraints are introduced to distinguish islands from other features such as cars. The approach was tested using aerial images of 0.1 m ground resolution taken from suburban and rural areas. Test results are presented and discussed in this paper.

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...

Automatic Road Extraction from Multispectral High Resolution Satellite Images

In this paper we propose an approach for automatic road extraction from high resolution multispectral imagery, such as IKONOS or Quickbird, in rural areas. While aerial imagery usually consists of 3 spectral bands, high resolution satellite data comprises 4 spectral bands with a better radiometric quality compared to film, but a worse geometric resolution. Therefore, strongly making use of the ...
