A fully automatized method which can extract road networks by using the spectral and structural features of the roads is proposed. First, Anti-parallel Centerline Extraction (ACE) is used to obtain road seed points. Then, the road seeds are improved with perceptual grouping method and the road class is determined with Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) by modeling the seed points with Gaussian Mixture. The morphological operations (opening, closing and thinning) are performed for improving classification results and determining the road topology roughly. Finally, perceptual grouping is performed for removing non-road line segments and filling the gaps on the topology. The proposed algorithm is tested on 1 meter resolution IKONOS images and results better than previous algorithms are obtained

Road extraction from high-resolution satellite images Özkaya, Meral; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2009) Roads are significant objects of an infrastructure and the extraction of roads from aerial and satellite images are important for different applications such as automated map generation and change detection. Roads are also important to detect other structures such as buildings and urban areas. In this thesis, the road extraction approach is based on Active Contour Models for 1- meter resolution gray level images. Active Contour Models contains Snake Approach. During applications, the road structure was sepa...
Monorail : an alternative transportation mode for METU Gökbulut, Alev; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2003) The aim of this thesis is to investigate an alternative mode of transportation for METU and the impacts of spatial transformations generated by the proposed system in an architectural context. This study embraces modern concepts of space-time in the practice of architectural design, and involves a sensitive consideration of the perception of space relative to position, speed and movement. In an urban context, the thesis unfolds spatial transformations affected by new movement technology. While the notions o...
Road extraction from high resolution satellite images using adaptive boosting with multi-resolution analysis Çınar, Umut; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2012) Road extraction from satellite or aerial imagery is a popular topic in remote sensing, and there are many road extraction algorithms suggested by various researches. However, the need of reliable remotely sensed road information still persists as there is no sufficiently robust road extraction algorithm yet. In this study, we explore the road extraction problem taking advantage of the multi-resolution analysis and adaptive boosting based classifiers. That is, we propose a new road extraction algorithm explo...
Distance-based discretization of parametric signal manifolds Vural, Elif (2010-06-28) The characterization of signals and images in manifolds often lead to efficient dimensionality reduction algorithms based on manifold distance computation for analysis or classification tasks. We propose in this paper a method for the discretization of signal manifolds given in a parametric form. We present an iterative algorithm for the selection of samples on the manifold that permits to minimize the average error in the manifold distance computation. Experimental results with image appearance manifolds d...
Parallel implementation of a gas-kinetic BGK method on unstructured grids for 3-D inviscid missile flows Ilgaz, Murat; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2009-10-12) A 3-D gas-kinetic BGK method and its parallel solution algorithm are developed for the computation of inviscid missile flows on unstructured grids. Flow solutions over a supersonic missile are presented to validate the accuracy and robustness of the method. It is shown that the computation time, which is an important deficiency of gas-kinetic BGK methods, may significantly be reduced by performing computations in parallel. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
