A Watershed-Canny Based Approach for Building Footprint Extraction from Very High Resolution Optical Image
Abstract:Abstract. The advanced very high resolution (VHR) sensors are capable of achieving submeter resolution, which offers the opportunity for a fine level of analysis of man-made structures. In this paper, we present a method for the extraction of 2-D building footprints from VHR optical scenes. The data sets include Worldview-2 (0.5m) image and cover urban area of San Francisco. Our main idea was to combine edge based detector, regions based segmentation and non-building masks. In the first step, Canny operator wa… Show more
