Road Identification Through Efficient Edge Segmentation Based on Morphological Operations

Abstract

Road identification from high-precision images is important to programmed mapping, urban planning, and updating geographic information system (GIS) databases. Manual identification of roads is slow, costly, and prone to errors. Therefore, it is a hot topic among remote sensing experts to develop programmed techniques for road identification from satellite images. The main challenge lies in the variation of width and surface contents between roads. This paper presents a road identification and extraction strategy for satellite images. The strategy, denoted as ESMIRMO, recognizes roads in satellite images through edge segmentation, using morphological operations. Specifically, morphological operations were employed to enhance the quality of the original image, laying a good basis for accurate road detection. Next, edge segmentation was adopted to detect the road in the original image accurately. After that, the proposed strategy was compared with traditional methods. The comparison shows that our strategy could identify roads from satellite images more accurately than traditional methods, and overcome many of their limitations. Overall, our strategy manages to enhance the quality of satellite images, pinpoint roads in the enhanced images, and provide drivers and repairers with real-time information on road conditions.

Data Conversion: Realization of Code converter using Shift Register Modules

“…Hence, there is drift in transistor manufacture from CMOS to FinFET technology. [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]…”

“…[6] Figure 1 shows the example of Mux based 8-bit barrel shifter. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Through adiabatic techniques, power consumption is reduced for a minimal amount, but even the architecture with numerous multiplexers occupies large area which in turn increases path delay affecting the speed of the design. It is clear that there is a need to develop a suitable transistor level design for shifting operation.…”

Symmetric cross-entropy multi-threshold color image segmentation based on improved pelican optimization algorithm

“…Its principle is the technique and process of merging pixel points with similar attributes in an image into several regions and proposing regions of interest. Currently, image segmentation methods can be roughly classified into four types: point, line, and boundary-based approaches [ 4 ], threshold-based approaches [ 5 ], region-based approaches [ 6 ], and morphology-based approaches and image segmentation algorithms formed based on specific theories [ 7 ] that have emerged in recent years. Among them, the thresholding method is becoming increasingly widely used for image segmentation because of its advantages of easy operation, high efficiency, fast processing speed, and stable performance.…”
