Extraction of Buildings from QuickBird Imagery for Municipal Use – the Relevance of Urban Context and Heterogeneity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lisbon is both a historical and modern city having a dynamic landscape, where increasingly diverse urban forms and materials coexist. This complex reality is possibly causing the feature extraction process from imagery to become more challenging. This study tests the semiautomated extraction of buildings from a QuickBird image in urban areas with different characteristics, and explores the impact of the heterogeneity of these features in the extraction process. Spatial metrics are used to characterize types of buildings present in the study areas. Results show that the study areas display different levels of heterogeneity even for the same type of building and suggest that the extraction may be affected by the spatial configuration of target features.

Extraction of Buildings from Quickbird Imagery – What Is the Relevance of Urban Context and Heterogeneity?
The high frequency and scope of spatial changes in cities demands ways of expediting the production and updating of large-scale geographic information. For that purpose, current and future very high spatial resolution satellite imagery (VHR) and semiautomated object-based image analysis methods may be an advantageous alternative to classical data sources and methods, i.e., aerial photography an...

The methodology is based on semi-automatic extraction of features, using information from a QuickBird image and LIDAR data. The QuickBird image is suitable to delineate the different elements on the surface based on their spectral characteristics. However, this task is much more successful and richer when altimetric information is also used in the extraction process. Thus, with the introduction...
