چکیده

As in the foreseeable future a human will be expected to remain as part of the object extraction system, semi-automated road extraction methods are still important. Following this trend, this paper presents a semi-automated method for extracting road segments from mediumand high-resolution images based on active testing and edge analysis. The method is based on two sequential and independent stages. Firstly, an active testing method is used to extract an approximated road centreline, which is based on a sequential and local exploitation of the image. Secondly, an iterative strategy based on edge analysis and the approximated centreline is used to measure precisely the road centreline. Based on results obtained using a medium-resolution test image, the method seems to be very promising. In general, the method prove to be very accurate whenever the roads are characterised by two well-defined anti-parallel edges and robust even in the presence of larger obstacles, as e.g. trees and shadows. * Corresponding author.

Semi-automatic Extraction of Ribbon Roads Form High Resolution Remotely Sensed Imagery by Cooperation between Angular Texture Signature and Template Matching

Road tracking is a promising technique to increase the efficiency of road mapping. In this paper an improved road tracker, based on cooperation between angular texture signature and template matching, is presented. Our tracker uses parabola to model the road trajectory and to predict the position of next road centreline point. It employs angular texture signature to get the exact moving directi...

Road Extraction from High-Resolution Airborne SAR using Operator Fusion

Extraction of roads from high-resolution airborne XBand SAR data is described in this paper. The method employs identification of regions of interest, followed by fusion of basic road feature detectors and is complemented by a higher level road model. Identification of regions of interest employs a significance test for the local coefficient of variation. In regions of interest a road feature d...
