Urban Road Net Extraction Integrating Internal Evaluation Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on internal quality measures for automatic road extraction from aerial images taken over urban areas. The motivation of this work is twofold: Firstly, any automatic system should provide the user with a small number of values indicating the reliability of the obtained results. This is often referred to as ”self-diagnosis” and is in particular a crucial part of automatic image understanding systems. Secondly, and more important in the scope of our research, a system designed for the extraction of man-made objects in complex environments (like roads in urban areas) inherently implies many decisions during the extraction process. Such decisions are highly facilitated when both low level features and high level objects are attached with confidence values indicating their relevance for further processing. The basic idea for defining evaluation criteria from which the confidence values can be calculated is to split the components of a semantic object model into two different types. The model components of the first type are used for extracting features, i.e., parts of the object, and the components of the other type serve as criteria for evaluating the quality of the extracted features. For guaranteeing an unbiased evaluation one has to ensure that model components belonging to different types are independent from each other (at least theoretically). We illustrate this concept by our system for road extraction in urban areas. Examples are given for both low level features like lines and ribbons as well as higher level features like lanes and road segments.

متن کاملAdaptation of Object Models for Road Extraction in Images of Different Resolution
Depending on the spatial resolution, the appearance of roads differs in images. In high resolution aerial images a road might be distinguishable as an area with visible road markings, while in a satellite image of low resolution, roads appear as lines and their network character becomes important. The design of the object model for the extraction of roads therefore has to be influenced by the r...

The spatial resolution of available image data plays an important role at the creation of object models for road extraction. The type and perceptibility of roads changes with increasing ground pixel size.

متن کاملRoad Extraction in Rural and Urban Areas
An approach for automatic road extraction from digital aerial imagery is presented. The extraction is based on a semantic model for roads. The images are divided into different so-called “global contexts”: rural, forest, and urban. Different parts of the road model and different strategies are used in the different global contexts. In rural areas, a multi-scale approach is employed to find init...
