Abstract

This paper is concerned with a local detection of road on an airborne SAR image. The roads can be characterized by their geometry and radiometry. Roads are assumed as linear, thin, and elongated objects that are darker than their surroundings on an airborne SAR image. With these assumptions, a series of morphological filters are applied and tested successively. This approach is simple and almost non parametric and has been successfully applied to an airborne SAR image.
