Description
Feature extraction from satellite images has become a wide area of interest in the last two decades with the increase in the number of commercial earth observation satellites. This work focuses on extracting roads and cities from true color multi-spectral images that suffer from different quality problems like blurriness, increased amount of noise or abnormal color variations. To assist in the feature extraction process we extract city location information from almost 200 military maps. We present an approach for automatic and independent road detection in satellite images, an automatic city detection process in military maps and a semi-automatic (assisted) method of detecting street layout inside cities in satellite images. We also evaluate the accuracy and performance of our implementation by tests that are done using a parallel infrastructure running over different types of blades inside an HPC computing cluster.
