Abstract

Detecting simple shaped buildings from 1m-resolution satellite imagery is presented. The proposed algorithm is that first, image features such as edges are detected and then segmentation process is performed with the detected features. It can be result in line primitives. These primitives are linked and grouped by building hypotheses. Proposed building hypotheses restrict a building to simple rectangular shape. And sub-region homogeneity test is performed for finding rooftops of buildings. The proposed algorithm has been tested on IKONOS satellite image with 1m-resolution.
