A new method of building detection from a single aerial photograph

Abstract

A novel approach based on multifold building features for the task of detecting buildings in aerial photograph is presented. Firstly, a coarse classification based on the texture features was used. Secondly, line adjacency and spectrum features detection are applied to select possible building regions. Thirdly, the fuzzy logic inference is applied to solve the problem of uncertainty and imprecision in building detection. This approach not only has the capability of detecting buildings effectively but also is easily understandable.
