Linear Feature Extraction and Description
Abstract
A technique of edge detection and line finding for linear feature extraction is described. Edge detection is by convolution with small edge-like masks. The resulting output is thinned and linked by using edge positions and orientations and approximated by piecewise linear segments. Some linear features, e.g., roads and airport runways, are suitably described by “antiparallel” pairs of linear segments. Experimental results on aerial images are presented.
