BUILDING AND ROAD EXTRACTION ON URBAN VHR IMAGES USING SVM COMBINATIONS AND MEAN SHIFT SEGMENTATION

Abstract

A method is proposed for building and road detection on very high spatial resolution multispectral aerial image of dense urban areas. First, objects are extracted with a segmentation algorithm in order to use both spectral and spatial information. Second, a spectral-spatial object-level pattern is formed, and then classification is performed using a 3-class SVM classifier, followed by a post-processing using contextual information to handle conflicts. However, in the particular case where many building roofs are grey like the roads and have similar geometry, classification accuracy is inevitably limited. In order to overcome this limitation, different classifiers are combined and different patterns used, improving the accuracy of 10%.
