Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel framework of building extraction from high resolution satellite remote sensing images. This approach combines regional information with edge features, which could avoid the limitations of traditional methods. Firstly, the irrelevant regions are filtered out from large images by extracting texture features, leaving buildings distributed in the remaining urban areas. Secondly, boundaries of objects are extracted and all the contours are tracked through the chain code method we developed. Finally, the short straight lines are linked to construct contours and extract rectangular building rooftops. Experiments show that this extraction strategy is robust and effective.
