Enhancing building footprints with squaring operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Whatever the data source, or the capture process, the creation of a building footprint in a geographical dataset is error prone. Building footprints are designed with square angles, but once in a geographical dataset, the angles may not be exactly square. The almost-square angles blur the legibility of the footprints when displayed on maps, but might also be propagated in further applications based on the footprints, e.g., 3D city model construction. This paper proposes two new methods to square such buildings: a simple one, and a more complex one based on nonlinear least squares. The latter squares right and flat angles by iteratively moving vertices, while preserving the initial shape and position of the buildings. The methods are tested on real datasets and assessed against existing methods, proving the usefulness of the contribution. Direct applications of the squaring transformation, such as OpenStreetMap enhancement, or map generalization are presented.

Efficient Squaring Algorithm for Xate Pairing with Freeman Curve
Recently, pairing–based cryptographies have attracted much attention. For fast pairing calculation, not only pairing algorithms but also arithmetic operations in extension field should be efficient. Especially for final exponentiation included in pairing calculation, squaring is more important than multiplication. This paper proposes an efficient squaring algorithm in extension field for Freema...
متن کاملSquaring Operations in the Adams Spectral Sequence
I t has been long known that the cohomology H (A) of the mod 2 Steenrod algebra A admits squaring operations. (For example, see [ó].) Since H(A) is isomorphic to the £2 term of the mod 2 Adams spectral sequence [2], it is natural to inquire as to the relation of these squaring operations to the structure of the Adams spectral sequence. In this note we announce some results of this type extendin...
متن کاملAutomatic Building Extraction from DEMs using an Object Approach and Application to the 3D-city Modeling
In this paper, we present an automatic building extraction method based on an object approach from Digital Elevation Models. First, a rough approximation of the building footprints is realized by a method based on marked point processes: the building footprints are modeled by rectangle layouts. Then, these rectangular footprints are regularized by improving the connection between the neighborin...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Building Models Using 2D Maps and Street View Images
We introduce a new approach for generating simple 3D building models by combining building footprints from 2D maps with street level images. The approach works with crowd sourced maps such as the OpenStreetMap and street level images acquired by a calibrated camera mounted on a moving vehicle. Buildings are modeled as boxes extruded from building footprints with the height information estimated...
متن کاملDetermining Building Footprints
A new approach for determining building boundaries through automatic processing of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data is presented. In general, LIDAR data is processed and interpolated into grayscale images with pixel values corresponding to height measurements. In a recent work, a progressive morphological filter was used to separate ground from non-ground measurements. Further separatio...
