Extraction of Road Intersections from GPS Traces Based on the Dominant Orientations of Roads
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many studies have used Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) traces to successfully extract segments of road networks because such data can be rapidly updated at a low cost. However, most studies have not focused on extracting intersections, which are indispensable parts of road networks in terms of connectivity. However, extracted intersections often present unsatisfactory precision and misleading connectivity. This study proposes a novel method for extracting road intersections from Global Position System (GPS) trace points and for capturing intersections with better accuracy. The key to improving the geometric accuracy of intersections is to identify the dominant orientations of road segments around intersections, merge similar orientations and maintain independent conflicting orientations. Extracting intersections by aligning the dominant orientations can largely reduce location offsets and road distortions. Experiments are performed to demonstrate the increased accuracy and connectivity of extracted road intersections by the proposed method.

Inferring Directed Road Networks from GPS Traces by Track Alignment
This paper proposes a method to infer road networks from GPS traces. These networks include intersections between roads, the connectivity between the intersections and the possible traffic directions between directly-connected intersections. These intersections are localized by detecting and clustering turning points, which are locations where the moving direction changes on GPS traces. We infe...
متن کاملAutomatic and Accurate Extraction of Road Intersections from Raster Maps
Since maps are widely available for many areas around the globe, they provide a valuable resource to help understand other geospatial sources such as to identify roads or to annotate buildings in imagery. To utilize the maps for understanding other geospatial sources, one of the most valuable types of information we need from the map is the road network, because the roads are common features us...
متن کاملMulti-Resolution, Semantic Objects, and Context for Road Extraction
This paper presents a multi-resolution approach for automatic extraction of roads from digital aerial imagery. Roads are modeled as a network of intersections and links between the intersections. For different context regions, i.e., rural, forest, and urban areas, the model describes relations between background objects, e.g., buildings or trees, and road objects, e.g., road-parts, road-segment...
متن کاملMining Spatial Data from Gps Traces for Automatic Road Network Extraction
The car manufacturing industry has been conducting a considerable effort to allow future vehicles to communicate, either between them or with a road infrastructure, in order to improve driving safety. As the position of each vehicle is an essential attribute of the proposed application protocols (to avoid collisions at blind intersections, for instance), and is also fundamental to support compl...
متن کاملAutomatic Road Detection and Extraction From MultiSpectral Images Using a New Hierarchical Object-based Method
Road detection and Extraction is one of the most important issues in photogrammetry, remote sensing and machine vision. A great deal of research has been done in this area based on multispectral images, which are mostly relatively good results. In this paper, a novel automated and hierarchical object-based method for detecting and extracting of roads is proposed. This research is based on the M...
