Built-Up Area Feature Extraction: First Year Technical Progress Report

Abstract

This report describes research on the analysis of aerial images of builtup areas. This research can be divided into three major parts: 1) extracting road networks from images; 2) detecting and delineating buildings; and 3) basic research to support extraction of the above features. Previous work in large-scale spatial databases and in knowledge-based systems for scene interpretation is described. Research results performed under this Built-Up Area Feature Extraction contract are described. New research in road network extraction is discussed. New work in the use of structural analysis to hypothesize and verify buildings using monocular cues in complex imagery is also discussed. Finally, the current state of research including successes, failures, and goals for the second year continuation are described. Keywords: Feature extraction; Scene interpretation; Road networks; Built-up areas.
