Detection of linear features in SAR images: application to road network extraction

Tupin, F., Maitre, H., Mangin, J.-F., Nicolas, J.-M., Pechersky, E.·1998·IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing

Abstract

The authors propose a two-step algorithm for almost unsupervised detection of linear structures, in particular, main axes in road networks, as seen in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The first step is local and is used to extract linear features from the speckle radar image, which are treated as road-segment candidates. The authors present two local line detectors as well as a method for fusing information from these detectors. In the second global step, they identify the real roads among the segment candidates by defining a Markov random field (MRF) on a set of segments, which introduces contextual knowledge about the shape of road objects. The influence of the parameters on the road detection is studied and results are presented for various real radar images.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
