RoadFinder Front End: an automated road extraction system

摘要

We present the RoadFinder Front End (RFFE), a fully automated system that identifies lines of communications (roads) in high altitude imagery. The system combines an effective road seed generator, a behavioral model, and an efficient mechanism for connecting the road seeds. The model associates a cost to filling gaps, turns and inflections in the roads. RFFE is demonstrated using several image sensor types.
