Urban Building Detection from Optical and Insar Features Exploiting Context

چکیده
We investigate the potential of combined features of aerial images and high-resolution interferometric SAR (InSAR) data for building detection in urban areas. It is shown that completeness and correctness may be increased if we integrate both InSAR double-bounce lines and 3D lines of stereo data in addition to building hints of a single optical orthophoto. In order to exploit context information, which is crucial for object detection in urban areas, we use a Conditional Random Field approach. It proves to be a valuable method for context-based building detection with multi-sensor features. * Corresponding author

Fusion of Optical and Insar Features for Building Recognition in Urban Areas
State-of-the-art space borne SAR sensors are capable of acquiring imagery with a geometric resolution of one meter while airborne SAR systems provide even finer ground sampling distance. In such data, individual objects in urban areas like bridges and buildings become visible in detail. However, the side-looking sensor principle leads to occlusion and layover effects that hamper interpretabilit...

State-of-the-art satellite SAR sensors (e.g., TerraSAR-X, CosmoSkyMed) provide imagery of one meter resolution and airborne SAR sensors achieve even higher resolutions. In those data objects in urban areas become visible in high detail. However, SAR-typical effects like layover, shadowing, and interfering backscatter of multiple objects complicate interpretability. Thus, additional information ...

The new generation of space-borne high resolution SAR sensors such as TerraSAR-X, SAR-Lupe or CosmoSkyMed provides SAR images of 1-3m spatial resolution or even below in special spotlight modes. Naturally, the development of methods to automatically derive detailed cartographic information of both rural and urban areas from this kind of data is a major issue driven by these missions. Since SAR ...

State-of-the-art space-borne high resolution SAR sensors such as TerraSAR-X, SAR-Lupe or Cosmo-SkyMed provide SAR images of 1-3m spatial resolution or even below in special spotlight modes. Due to this high resolution, one major issue of these missions is the development of methods to automatically derive detailed cartographic information from their recorded data by focusing on rural as well as...
متن کاملBuilding Recognition in Urban Areas from Multi-Aspect High- Resolution Interferometric SAR Data
The improved ground resolution of state-of-the-art synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors suggests utilizing this technique for the analysis of urban areas. However, building reconstruction from SAR or InSAR data suffers from consequences of the inherent oblique scene illumination, such as foreshortening, layover, occlusion by radar shadow and multipath signal propagation. Especially in built-u...
