Toward an automatic extraction of the road network by local interpretation of the scene
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the automatic detection of road network from aerial images. Our approach can be characterised by a two-level processing: firstly, a low-level knowledge is used to extract most of the roads, then semantic information is applied to solve interpretation problems. As we aim to implement this system in a production framework, we have been very careful about the reliability of the result. According to this objective, an incomplete but very reliable network is better than a complete one but that contains also many misdetections. The results are rather fair: we can assess that more than 60% of the road network could be automatically extracted. Nevertheless, some cases will still require a human interpretation or the help of complementary data because of the complexity of some problems.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
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 two fundamental and critical steps towar...

Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
