Application of mathematical morphology in digital images for extraction of airport tracks

Abstract

The products created using remote sensing enables the detection of desired shapes, making possible the update of Cartographic products that can used for a variety of purposes. Techniques of digital image processing are generally used in methodologies of detection and identification of changes. Accordingly, this work aims to present the results of using the Mathematical Morphology (MM) techniques to the extraction of airport tracks from digital images for cartographic products updating.
