Automatic Urban Feature Extraction Using Mathematical Morphology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Manual method of feature extraction from remote sensing imagery is a tedious and time-consuming process. The current paper presents the application of Mathematical Morphology for extracting urban features like buildings and roads from remotely sensed imagery. Roads and Buildings are the major features that influence urban planning and development. Also, GIS databases are to be frequently updated for timeliness and accuracy. Hence there is a need to develop automated methods of feature extraction. The proposed methodology is tested on various satellite imagery and the results are evaluated.

It is still an open problem to extract road feature from high-resolution remote sensing image, although this topic had been intensively investigated and many methods had been put forwards. All works for this thesis are focused on modern urban road and include the following four steps: image pre-processing, threshold calculation, feature extraction for straight line and curved line, target recon...
متن کاملAutomatic Feature Extraction on Pages of Antique Books Through a Mathematical Morphology Based Methodology
This paper presents a mathematical morphology based methodology to identify and extract several components on antique printed books in order to automatically build metadata. These components were previously classified into five different sets (drop capitals, stripes, figures, annotations and text matter) each one characterised by particular geometric features. Based on that assumption several n...
