In this paper, a new approach to road network extraction from multi-spectral (MS) imagery is presented. The proposed approach begins with an image segmentation using a spectral clustering algorithm. This step focuses on the exploitation of the spectral information for feature extraction. The road cluster(s) is automatically identified using a fuzzy classifier based on a set of predefined member...

Abstract This paper is mainly aimed at the over-segmentation or under-segmentation phenomenon of ground point cloud in moving scene unmanned platform to identify target. proposes an optimized rasterization method remove clouds appropriately. First, partitioned data by quadrant processed based on asymmetric distribution front-to-back and left-to-right data. Then, estimation lowest carried out dr...

The quality of the road pavement has always been one of the major concerns for governments around the world. Cracks in the asphalt are one of the most common road tensions that generally threaten the safety of roads and highways. In recent years, automated inspection methods such as image and video processing have been considered due to the high cost and error of manual metho...

This paper addresses the segmentation from an image of entities that have the form of a ‘network’, i.e. the region in the image corresponding to the entity is composed of branches joining together at junctions, e.g. road or vascular networks. We present a new phase field higher-order active contour (HOAC) prior model for network regions, and apply it to the segmentation of road networks from ve...

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises of two fundamental and critical steps to...

This paper presents a hybrid clustering algorithm and feed-forward neural network classifier for land-cover mapping of trees, shade, building and road. It starts with the single step preprocessing procedure to make the image suitable for segmentation. The pre-processed image is segmented using the hybrid geneticArtificial Bee Colony(ABC) algorithm that is developed by hybridizing the ABC and ge...

To make full use of spatially contextual information and topological information in the procedure of Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA), an object-based conditional random field is proposed and used for road extraction. Objects are produced with an initial segmentation, then their neighbours are constructed. Each object is represented by three kinds of features, including the colour, the gradie...

In this study we have looked into the problem of vehicle detection in highresolution satellite images. Based on the input from the local road authorities, we have focused not only on highways, but also on inner city roads, where more clutter is expected. The study site is the city of Oslo, Norway. To do vehicle detection in these areas, we propose an automatic approach consisting of a segmentat...
