An approach was developed to update the buildings of existing vector database from high resolution satellite images using image classification, Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and object extraction techniques. First, the satellite image is classified using the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC). The classified output provides the shapes and the approximate locations of the buildings. Next, a normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM) is generated by subtracting the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from the Digital Surface Model (DSM). The differentiation of the buildings from the trees is carried out using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The classified image and nDSM are used to determine the region of interest areas to detect the buildings. The buildings in the existing vector database are then updated using the results of the above processings and the building extraction techniques. The method was implemented in a selected urban area of Ankara, Turkey using IKONOS pan-sharpened and panchromatic images. The preliminary results show that the proposed approach is satisfactory for detecting the buildings from high resolution satellite images and updating the existing vector database.

Automatic building extraction from high resolution satellite images for map updating: A model based approach San, D. Koc; TÜRKER, MUSTAFA (2007-10-12) An approach was developed for automatically updating the buildings of an existing vector database from high resolution satellite images using spectral image classification, Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and the model-based extraction techniques. First, the areas that contain buildings are detected using spectral image classification and the normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM). The classified output provides the shapes and the approximate locations of the buildings. However, those buildings that have si...
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...
Alignment of uncalibrated images for multi-view classification Arık, Sercan Ömer; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2011-12-29) Efficient solutions for the classification of multi-view images can be built on graph-based algorithms when little information is known about the scene or cameras. Such methods typically require a pairwise similarity measure between images, where a common choice is the Euclidean distance. However, the accuracy of the Euclidean distance as a similarity measure is restricted to cases where images are captured from nearby viewpoints. In settings with large transformations and viewpoint changes, alignment of im...
Automated building detection from satellite images by using shadow information as an object invariant Yüksel, Barış; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2012) Apart from classical pattern recognition techniques applied for automated building detection in satellite images, a robust building detection methodology is proposed, where self-supervision data can be automatically extracted from the image by using shadow and its direction as an invariant for building object. In this methodology; first the vegetation, water and shadow regions are detected from a given satellite image and local directional fuzzy landscapes representing the existence of building are generate...
PROGRESSIVE COMPRESSION OF DIGITAL ELEVATION DATA USING MESHES Kose, Kivanc; Yılmaz, Erdal; ÇETİN, AHMET ENİS (2009-07-17) In this paper a new Digital Elevation Map (DEM) image compression algorithm is proposed. DEM image can be threated as a grayscale image, whose pixel values are the elevation values of the map points. The grayscale DEM image is compressed using an adaptive wavelet based image compression algorithm. The method, which is an extension of the progressive mesh compression takes advantage of the multiresolution property of the wavelets while coding the map images. This makes it possible to decode different resolut...
