Abstract

Automatic road extraction from High Resolution Remote Sensing Image is a challenging problem. In this paper we present a new approach for road automatically extraction which is based on topological derivative and mathematical morphology. This approach for road extraction can be divided into three main steps: using topological derivative for image segmentation, using mathematical morphology for road network identification and filtering. The experimental results show that this approach can effectively extract roads from high-resolution remote sensing image.
