摘要
This letter introduces a new method for building extraction in satellite images. The algorithm first identifies the shadow segments on an oversegmented image, and then neighboring shadow segments, which are assumed to be cast by a single building, are merged. Next, candidate regions where buildings most likely occur are detected by using these shadow regions. Along with this information, closeness to shadows in illumination direction and spectral properties of segments are used to classify them as belonging to a "building" or not. Then, a resegmentation is performed by merging only the neighboring segments, which are classified as building. Finally, postprocessing is performed to eliminate some false building segments. The approach was tested on several Google Earth images, and the results are found to be promising.
