Abstract

To study a new framework for building detection from optical remote sensing image(RSI) that based on rectangle approximation and region growing. According to the geometric structures of buildings, a right angle detection method based on voting strategy is investigated to get building candidates. In order to accurately estimate the shape of buildings with non-convex properties, an algorithm is employed to reduce false positives by extracting outer corners of buildings from the detected right angles. Combining with similar spectral features of surfaces, a segmentation algorithm based on region growing is proposed to get the complete top surfaces of buildings. Using several RSIs of Florida and Nebraska areas in WorldView-3 image data, experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the precision ratio of 89.44% and recall ratio of 90.36%.
