Multi-scale and Snakes for Automatic Road Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an approach for automatic road extraction in aerial imagery which exploits the scale-space behavior of roads in combination with geometric constrained snake-based edge extraction. The approach not only has few parameters to be adjusted, but for the first time allows for a bridging of shadows and partially occluded areas using the heavily disturbed evidence in the image. The road network is constructed after extracting crossings of various shape and topology. Reasonable results are obtained which are evaluated based on ground truth.

Automatic Road Extraction Based on Multi-scale Modeling, Context, and Snakes
This paper approaches the problem of road extraction from three different directions. The first is the use of multiple scales. This combines detailed information of fine scale, like the markings, with abstract information of coarse scale, like the road network. The second direction is the extension of the multi-scale modeling with the context, i.e., the relations to other objects like buildings...
متن کاملObject-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 کاملA Robust Method for Semi-Automatic Extraction of Road Centerlines Using a Piecewise Parabolic Model and Least Square Template Matching
In this paper, we present a semi-automatic road extraction method based on a piecewise parabola model with 0-order continuity. The piecewise parabola model is constructed by seed points coarsely placed by a human operator. In this case, road extraction actually becomes a physical problem of solving of each piece of parabola with only two or three unknown parameters by using image constraints. W...
متن کاملRoad Extraction Based on Snakes and Sophisticated Line Extraction
The extraction of roads from aerial and satellite images is an important task within cartography and planning of new road networks. The automation of this task is highly motivated by the expected increase of the speed and the precision of extraction. This work considers automatic road extraction from single aerial images of high resolution. It is based on two previously developed approaches: Th...
متن کاملAutomatic Extraction of Main Road Centerlines from High Resolution Satellite Imagery Using Hierarchical Grouping
Automatic road centerline extraction from high-resolution satellite imagery has gained considerable interest recently due to the increasing availability of commercial high-resolution satellite images. In this paper, a hierarchical grouping strategy is proposed to automatically extract main road centerlines from high-resolution satellite imagery. Here hierarchical grouping means that, instead of...
