Automatic building extraction from high resolution satellite images for map updating: A model based approach

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 similar reflectance values with the other classes were not able to be detected. Therefore, nDSM was generated by subtracting the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from the Digital Surface Model (DSM). Next, the buildings were differentiated from the trees by using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Areas other than the buildings are excluded from further processing. The buildings that exist in the vector database but missing in the image were detected through analyzing the results of the classification and nDSM. Finally, the buildings constructed after the date of the compilation of the existing vector database were extracted through the proposed model-based approach and the vector database was updated with the new building boundaries. The method was implemented in a selected urban area in Ankara, Turkey using the IKONOS pan-sharpened and panchromatic images. The results show that the proposed approach is quite satisfactory for detecting and delineating the buildings from high resolution space images.

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.

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...
DEEP LEARNING-BASED UNROLLED RECONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR COMPUTATIONAL IMAGING
Bezek, Can Deniz; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-08)
Computational imaging is the process of forming images from indirect measurements using computation. In this thesis, we develop deep learning-based unrolled reconstruction methods for various computational imaging modalities. Firstly, we develop two deep learning-based reconstruction methods for diffractive multi-spectral imaging. The first approach is based on plug-and-play regularization with deep denoisers whereas the second one is an end-to-end learned reconstruction based on unrolling. Secondly, we con...
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...
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...
