The aim of this study is to develop an automated model to extract buildings from aerial images. The fuzzy k-NN classification method is used to extract the buildings by using color information. Also in the thesis, the advantages of the relevance feedback systems are discussed. The software, BuildingLS, is developed in C#. The model is evaluated in 5 different test areas with more than 700 building.

A new algorithm for automatic road network extraction in multispectral satellite images
Karaman, Ersin; Çınar, Umut; Gedik, Ekin; Çetin, Yasemin; Halıcı, Uğur (2012-05-09)
The aim of this study is to develop automatic road extraction algorithm in satellite images. As roads have different width and surface material characteristics in urban and rural areas, a modular approach for road extraction algorithm is desired. In this study, edge detection, segmentation, clustering and vegetation and land cover analyses are used. In order to combine the results of different methods, a score map based on segmentation analysis is constructed. Quantitative and visual results show that this ...
A Self-Supervised Decision Fusion Framework for Building Detection
Senaras, Caglar; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-05-01)
In this study, a new building detection framework for monocular satellite images, called self-supervised decision fusion (SSDF) is proposed. The model is based on the idea of self-supervision, which aims to generate training data automatically from each individual test image, without human interaction. This approach allows us to use the advantages of the supervised classifiers in a fully automated framework. We combine our previous supervised and unsupervised building detection frameworks to suggest a self-...
Automated Detection of Arbitrarily Shaped Buildings in Complex Environments From Monocular VHR Optical Satellite Imagery
Ok, Ali Ozgun; Senaras, Caglar; Yuksel, Baris (2013-03-01)
This paper introduces a new approach for the automated detection of buildings from monocular very high resolution (VHR) optical satellite images. First, we investigate the shadow evidence to focus on building regions. To do that, we propose a new fuzzy landscape generation approach to model the directional spatial relationship between buildings and their shadows. Once all landscapes are collected, a pruning process is developed to eliminate the landscapes that may occur due to non-building objects. The fina...
An automatic geo-spatial object recognition algorithm for high resolution satellite images
Ergul, Mustafa; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2013-09-26)
This paper proposes a novel automatic geo-spatial object recognition algorithm for high resolution satellite imaging. The proposed algorithm consists of two main steps; a hypothesis generation step with a local feature-based algorithm and a verification step with a shape-based approach. In the hypothesis generation step, a set of hypothesis for possible object locations is generated, aiming lower missed detections and higher false-positives by using a Bag of Visual Words type approach. In the verification s...
A digital performance assessment tool for the Dutch Government Building Agency
Gürsel Dino, İpek; Sariyildiz, Sevil; Leeuw, Rene (null; 2008-06-28)
This paper discusses the modeling efforts in the development of an integral building performance assessment tool for the Dutch Government Building Agency (RGD). The model enables the performance data to be created, processed and communicated throughout the building lifecycle by various stakeholders. The proposed model extends the authors' previous research efforts in developing a digital environment for continuous building performance verification and data integration. Moreover, it is planned to include oth...
