Road Extraction from High-Resolution Airborne SAR using Operator Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extraction of roads from high-resolution airborne XBand SAR data is described in this paper. The method employs identification of regions of interest, followed by fusion of basic road feature detectors and is complemented by a higher level road model. Identification of regions of interest employs a significance test for the local coefficient of variation. In regions of interest a road feature detector provides a road score through fusion of functions for road edge presence and road center continuity. Finally, an active contour model which is optimized by a genetic algorithm is applied to the fused image.

Analysis of Automatic Road Extraction Results from Airborne Sar Imagery
Automatic extraction of roads is a present research topic. Many applications like topographic mapping, navigation applications, or image registration could profit from such algorithms. This paper is concerned with automatic road extraction from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. An approach originally developed for the extraction of roads in rural areas from optical imagery with a ground p...
متن کاملA Semi-automatic High Resolution Sar Data Interpretation Procedure
This paper describes a semi-automatic procedure for cartographic mapping using high resolution SAR data. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional feature extractions are combined in order to achieve a basic yet effective recognition of the elements in the scene. Many interesting elements of the landscape are automatically extracted without requiring a large interaction with the operator. In partic...
متن کاملRoad Extraction from High Resolution Multi Aspect Sar Images
In this paper, we propose a fusion strategy for extracted roads from multi-aspect SAR images. The fusion strategy extends a system for automatic road extraction from SAR images based on line extraction and explicitly modeled knowledge, which has been developed for single SAR images. Due to the side-looking geometry of SAR, the visibility of roads is often limited by adjacent high trees or build...
متن کاملCarsten Jürgens (Ed.): Remote Sensing - New Challenges of High Resolution, Bochum 2008
Due to the very high resolution of state-of-the-art SAR sensors, both airborne (e.g. ESAR, PAMIR, MEMPHIS) and space borne (e.g. TerraSAR-X, CosmoSkyMed), new application scenarios arise especially in urban scenes. The focus of this paper is on bridges since they play a key role in urban infrastructure. Their condition has to be monitored and evaluated in particular in the case of natural hazar...
متن کاملObject Extraction from High-Resolution Multisensor Image Data
An approach to the combined extraction of linear as well as areal objects from multisensor image data based on a featureand object-level fusion is proposed. Data sources are high-resolution panchromatic digital orthoimages, multispectral image data, and interferometric SAR data. Rural test areas consisting of a road network, agricultural fields, and small villages were investigated. Road networ...
