Abstract

This paper examines images taken from IKONOS to extract several features such as road relations automatically. We propose a new method which combines color, texture information and shape information for segmentation of high resolution satellite images. The method uses color and texture information for global segmentation, and shape information for local analysis. We propose a new direction filter which pays its attention to road features having information on specific directionality. We also propose another new morphology filter which is used as a length filter extracting length of each region more efficiently.
