چکیده

We are pursuing the detection of runways in aerial images as part of a project to automatically map complex cultural areas such as a major commercial airport complex. This task is much more difficult that appears at first. _ We use a hypothesize and test paradigm. Hypotheses are formed by looking for instances of long rectangular shapes, possibly interrupted by other long rectangles. We use runway markings, mandated by standards for runway construction, to verify our hypotheses.

Detecting runways in complex airport scenes

Detection of runways in aerial images is part of a project to automatically map complex cultural areas such as a major commercial airport complex. This task is much more difficult than appears at first. Runways are not merely homogeneous strips in the image due to several markings on the surface, changes in the surface material and presence of other objects such as taxiways and aircraft. We use...

An Acquisition and Distribution System for Situational Awareness

In times of disaster acquiring aerial images is challenging. Runways may be crippled thus denying conventional aircraft in the area from taking off. Also the time required to schedule a satellite fly-by may delay first response efforts. Man backpackable aerial robots can be carried close to the disaster site and flown to capture aerial images. This paper integrates mechatronics, intelligent sen...

Using Generic Knowledge in Analysis of Aerial Scenes: A Case Study

Our goal is to produce high-quality symbolic descriptions from aerial scenes. We have chosen to work in the domain of large commercial airport complexes. Such scenes have a variety of features such as the transportation network, building structures, and mobile objects. This paper concentrates on detection and description of the transportation network (runways and taxiways). We illustrate the co...
