Applying a Wavelet Method and LINDA for Extracting Detailed Cartographic Features from High Resolution Images

摘要

Small topographic linear features provide important information for detailed mapping and Geographic Information System (GIS) applications. However the collection of these features is often done by manual digitization which is labour intensive and time consuming. In this paper, methods are developed and applied to automatically extract small linear features from high resolution remotely sensed images. The extracted linear features are compared with the large scale digital map data of Great Britain and the results are promising.
